Yep, hotel booked, & have very basic map downloaded. Appaently the hotel will sort us with map & tourist information on arrival. Which by the sound of it won't take long for this time of year!
Have checked & hotel has a bar & restaurant, so they should be open, at least for residents. Maybe a few other hotels will cater for us too? Here's hoping.

scottie, you are most kind. I appreciate all this information.
Hotel is the Aureus in the Old Town. Reviews read quite good, but apart from that, I know nothing about the place.

Snow, I can live with. Bars being closed, I don't think I can! :)
I have been checking the weather regularly, & have been expecting to see some snow, & for it to be very cold.

Again, many thanks.
As I said Irish/ English bars are not my thing when abroad, but the more I'm hearing about this weekend, it seems they may be my only hope of getting a beer!
Would much prefer to go to traditional bars & restaurants, or even ones in the hotels, if they were open.

Cheers for that (I think!).
Well aware of the weather, & have many layers packed to deal with the cold/ wet/ snow.
Was more concerned about having 2 days with nothing at all to do, which appears maybe the case. Much as I try & avoid English or Irish pubs when on holiday, are they all likely to be shut too?

I'm off to Gdansk this weekend (Saturday - Tuesday), & was wondering if anyone can advise if shops/ bars/ restaurants will be open during this period?
I recently read somewhere that a lot of places will be closed for Easter.
Any other advise gratefully received also.
