It was incorporated into Poland after World War II, in 1945. Germans always wanted Gdansk because it was a strong city with access to the Baltic Sea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gdansk is still a very popular tourist destination among German tourists. You can hear people speaking Deutsch all the time. It&#8217;s not really a problem for Gdansk&#8217;s citizens, as many of them can easily communicate in this language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Gdansk was incorporated into Poland after World War II (in 1945), there are still many people alive who were born in Gdansk as German citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crazy, huh?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gdansk_Is_The_Only_City_In_Poland_That_Was_%E2%80%98Free_In_The_Past\"><\/span>Gdansk Is The Only City In Poland That Was &#8216;Free&#8217; In The Past.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Vatican City and Singapore, Gdansk was the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/City-state#Modern_city-states\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"yoast-seo-link\">city-state<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was completely free and independent twice in history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>first in the 19th century (1807-1814)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>then between World War I and World War II (1920-1939).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gdansk loved its freedom but Poles and German didn&#8217;t&#8230; Both Poland and Germany wanted to incorporate this city into their countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting- there are still many people (especially in Germany) who are trying to get back Gdansk. They want to separate it from Poland and make it a free city again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gdansk_Set_Poland_Free_From_The_Soviet_Domination\"><\/span>Gdansk Set Poland Free From The Soviet Domination<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gdansk3-768x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gdansk3-768x576-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gdansk3-768x576-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you ask an average Pole about Gdansk, the first thing they will probably say will be <em>Solidarnosc<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you may not be familiar with Polish history, so I will tell you little something about it: after World War II, against the will of the majority of Poles, Poland fell under the Soviet supremacy. It became a communist country, with some independence. But all the important decisions must have been approved by the Soviet government in Moscow, even though Soviets claimed that Poland is &#8216;free&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poles hated Russians and their domination. There were plenty of uprisings and revolts against the Soviets in Poland. And they all were bloodily suppressed. Until 1980, when the formation of the independent trade union &#8216;Solidarity&#8217; (<em>Solidarnosc<\/em>) was founded in Gdansk. Under the leadership of Lech Walesa and support of Polish Pope John Paul II, Poland was free again in 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not only Poland- the whole Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Dream of Stalin\u2019s communist world was finally destroyed. 15 new European and Asian countries were formed after the Soviet Union was dissolved, including Ukraine, Russia, Armenia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldavia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also 5 countries that weren\u2019t a part of the Soviet Union but were under the strong influence of SU. These are Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole world changed. And it all began in Gdansk&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_War_II_Began_In_Gdansk\"><\/span>World War II Began In Gdansk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>German invasion of Poland started on September, 1st, 1939 by attacking the Free City of Gdansk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Historians say that the first attack was in Wielun a few hours before the bombardment of Gdansk. But there is no proof of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World War II began in the North of Poland and then spread to the whole world. Gdansk was one of the most valiant cities during WWII. Even though there were less than 400,000 people living in Gdansk, they were fighting tooth and nail for their freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gdansk_Is_A_Part_Of_Tricity_Agglomeration\"><\/span>Gdansk Is A Part Of Tricity Agglomeration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/sopot-1-768x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/sopot-1-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/sopot-1-768x512-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tricity Agglomeration is one of the most developed, rich and well-landscaped regions in Poland.

It is a big statue situated in the heart of Gdansk&#8217;s Old Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many legends connected to Neptune Fountain. The most popular is the one about the &#8216;Goldwasser&#8217;, <a href=\"https:\/\/polishfoodies.com\/best-polish-vodka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">popular vodka<\/a> from Gdansk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is believed that the people of Gdansk had so much money that they kept throwing golden coins into the fountain. They thought it would bring them luck. After some time, Neptune became very angry that his fountain is all cluttered. He splintered all the golden coins into a fine powder and turned the water from the fountain to vodka. And that is how the famous &#8216;Goldwasser&#8217; was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another legend that says that once in a century, all stone creatures adorning the tops of Gdansk&#8217;s townhouses, come to life in Gdansk for one night. They are tasting all the delicious food and meet all the people they have been observing for so many years. It is believed that the leader of the feast is Neptune himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gdansk_Is_Famous_For_The_Beautiful_And_Unique_Ambers\"><\/span>Gdansk Is Famous For The Beautiful And Unique Ambers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland is the biggest amber exporter in the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know what amber is- it is a fossilized tree resin. It has been appreciated for its natural beauty and color since Neolithic times. It is mainly used as a part of jewelry, but it is also popular in the medicine and cosmetics industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a very interesting legend about the Baltic ambers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The origins of Baltic ambers are associated with the Lithuanian legend about Jurat\u0117, the queen of the sea. She fell in love with Kastytis, a fisherman. According to one of the versions, her jealous father punished her by destroying her amber palace and changing her into sea foam. The pieces of Jurat\u0117\u2019s palace can still be found on the Baltic shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a question?
