Like many of Poland's fine cities, Gdansk boasts a rich cultural heritage. There are few places on this planet which can claim as colourful a history as this Baltic beauty. One has but to look at the last few centuries to find the proof: years under Polish rule... times with the Germans... the days of autonomy. Tack on to that a membership in the 'ol Hanseatic League and you've got yourself some colour. The city and its personality reflect this colorful past and the many cultures which have shaped its identity. Today, Gdansk is one of Poland's cultural powerhouses with a score of festivals, museums and galleries to prove it. Snoop around and culture yourself up a bit!

LATEST REVIEW!

Malbork Castle
reviewed by TravellingJill
from United Kingdom
on Jun.10.2010

"The castle itself is one of those most stunning I have seen anywhere & well worth a visit,( I speak as a very well-travelled person) but for those who speak no Polish, bee warned that you need to purchase a guide in your own language before entering the castle as there are no other language signs or indications available. I had taken the time from a recent business trip to travel the distance from Warsaw especially to see it, but fortunately the unhelpful & uncaring museum staff failed to completely spoil my enjoyment of such a splendid place. Speaking to other nationalities, during my visit, who also endured the same bad behaviour, I can only hope that the local tourist office can take some time to put at least some signs (words not even necessary) for foreigners & train their staff to behave with politeness towards their visitors. Possibly it's only independent visitors they resent, but sometimes it's not possible to visit in a group, for history enthusiasts such as myself!!!"
