North-West Poland, called Pomerania, is a land of captivating beauty, rich in history and with an interesting present. The region has attractions for everybody - for lovers of architecture and folklore, angling, sailing, canoeing, game hunting and beach enthusiasts.

The provincial capital of Pomerania is Gdańsk, or to be more precise, the Tri-city, a conurbation of three major cities (which in turn adjoin other, no less important towns), each of which is very different both in terms of past history, modern appearance, and functions.
Let's start with the oldest of the three cities, Gdańsk. The appearance of the Old Town and the Main Town, which were meticulously rebuilt after horrendous destruction during World War II, reflects numerous architectural influences, not only from Poland, but also Germany and Holland. Visitors to Gdańsk will be delighted by its exceptional beauty. More than practically any other Polish town, its relationship to the sea is so close that ships pass through the very heart of the city, where a marina was recently built. The smell of seawater and the sound of waves are the perfect backdrop to the many languages which are spoken here all year round. Tourists enjoy admiring the beauty of the Royal Way, comprising Długa Street and the Long Market, where the Gothic town hall, the Neptune Fountain, and the Artus Court are situated. The entire city is dominated by the monumental Church of St. Mary, the largest brick church in the world, which has a 78-metre-high tower. Visitors to Gdańsk also like to visit the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers, commemorating workers who were killed during the tragic events of 1970, and the Church of St. Bridget, connected with the beginnings of the Solidarity movement.
