Gdansk has an amazing location by the river Motlawa with two small river islands in the very center. On the continental side is the terrific old town with its restored Mannerism houses, Churches and picturesque streets, as well the city icon - Old Crane. On the islands are mostly new built apartment houses in similar, but modern style, which perfectly blend with the old ones. Day, but specially at night, it's a great pleasure to walk around and admire the sites, despite the ongoing renovation and construction works which will even more improve the area when finished.

Beautiful part of the Gdansk to visit day or night which offers so much history on one side you have the old-style architecture buildings and the beautiful Old Crane which has undergone renovation work recently. River embankment renovation work is being done at the moment which does take away from the beautiful view you once had. It's still possible to take the Galeon Lew pirate ship to Westerplatte. On the other side of the river, you have the new apartments which do blend in. Soldek museum ship, large Gdansk sign, AmberSky observation wheel. Both sides offer so much from restaurants, cafes, bars, boutique shops, amber shops, museum, hotels. With so many photo opportunities.

Great walk along the riverside, however currently one part Is under construction. Once it Is ready, there Is a splendid technically unique bridge - every half an hour it Is connecting the banks for pedestrians to cross, the other half an hour it Is hidden in the middle od the river si the boats can go. Anyway - excellently rebuilt from ruins, in an old&modern way. Lovely Vibe, just Grab your coffee or a cup of hot chocolate & enjoy. Or, if you are more adventurous, you can try kayak or other water vehicle for rent, to take a ride in the river

This is a nice place for a walk. However, construction makes the path narrow in places. The building in my photo is an actual harbour crane, built in the 15th century to load and unload cargo from ships.
