News / Will EURO 2012 be a proud moment for Poland and its people or set back Poland 20 years? [86]

I'm from Russia and I have already returned from Poland :(
I've been in four Polish towns (Wroclaw, Gdansk, Warsaw and Krakow) and found that Poland is really good country to visit. Except few things like roads that are under construction and fights in Warsaw everything was great!!!

I could not imagine that Polish people are so kind and friendly, especially with respect to Russians. You should be proud of your part of EURO. Many thanks. I will definitely come back once (or twice :))

Travel / Special stories / anecdotes about Gdansk [11]

Guys, many thanks!

I would like also to collect some interesting facts like
- Gdansk is the only town in Poland that has two town halls
- one of the symbols of the town is Neptune waterworks (fountain) and there is a legend that one day there were not usual water but golden water springing out of it. And one of the most famous Gdansk liqueur is called Goldwasser after that

- the Museum for amber used to be a prison for people sentenced to death penalty etc.

I do not know whether all these facts are true or not, but I will be glad to collect more facts like this to impress my friends :) (we have a bet - the best "storyteller" will receive box of beer)

Travel / Special stories / anecdotes about Gdansk [11]

Hi!

I'm going to Poland with my friends this June for Euro2012.
We are going to visit four Polish cities: Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk. We decided to prepare little guides on every city we are going to visit and my task is to prepare guide on Gdansk.

It should be not usual touristic guide with MUST SEE PLACES but something like a story (or stories) about the town that I will tell my friends (they are in charge of guides on other cities).

I have already found a lot of information about Gdansk, about its history, local attractions/sightseeing places etc. But I would like to know few "special" stories (like anecdotes, funny stories or anything else that is really worth to tell) about the town that are not usualy written in City Guides for tourists.

If you have some stories like this, please HELP!
