If you had to describe this city in just a few words, you would probably say stately mansions, Gothic churches, original museums and galleries, and a beautiful harbour, where you can see the unique medieval harbour crane, Brama \u017buraw. The city centre is made up of three historic districts, with the Capital being particularly worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9577 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eurocampings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inzetje-gdansk.jpg\" alt=\"Gd\u00e1nsk\" width=\"600\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurocampings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inzetje-gdansk.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.eurocampings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inzetje-gdansk-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sunbathing in Poland?
