Gdansk's imposing Town Hall (Ratusz) provides a suitably evocative setting for the city's Historical Museum. Step up the sumptuous staircase into the Red Room, which was once the main council chamber of the city. The stately air continues in the courtroom, which also houses a powerful exhibition of photographs conveying the devastation of the war years. The combination of enlightening historical exhibits and grandiose decor make this a good place to begin your exploration of the city.
