I'm from Czech Republic I Love Poland Polish people and Gdansk❤
❤
Truly a gem! We have been to Prague before we started CZcams but can’t wait to get back to CR to see more cities! We LOVED it.
Poles love the Czech Republic, people and the best beer in the world.
.... and what is the nation, that we Poles like the most? ;)
And I'm from Poland and I love Czech Republic ❤
I love Poland and polish people. Greetings from Romania.
Us too, we’ll obviously 😂. We feel the same about Romania. We only got to visit Bucharest though, we can’t wait to return and see some more cities!
Romania is also really cool. Greetings from Poland!
I've never been to Romania, but after watching a few documentarys I'm really impressed. All the best!
I wonna live in Poland!!!
And, well... I already do 😉😅
😂lol. We can’t wait to get back and explore some more cities! Thanks for watching and commenting, it means the world to us!
I live in Warsaw, but Gdańsk is my favorite 🇵🇷🇵🇱🌅⛱️
We got to see Gdańsk, Warsaw and Krakow and it was really cool how unique each city was, we loved that. Poland is climbing the list of our favorite places to visit and we gaurantee that we will return. Thanks a million for watching our video and following our journey. Happy travels!
Did Warsaw a few years ago. Wonderful place. That town square is a treasure. Some of the best museums I;ve ever been in. Would hope to return some day. Typing this form Gdansk and enjoying the last few days of summer sun here. Next Polish city I think will be Wroszlaw - nobody has a negative thing to say about it. So maybe next year.......
@@Scaleyback317 Jeśli będziesz w Wrocławiu koniecznie odwiedź Jelenią Góre i Karpacz.
@@marekxxx5262 Thank you Marek - both are on my itinerary now.
I recommend visiting Gdańsk in the summer
Thanks! We are still panning to go back next august!
As a person with polish and Thai heritage the part at 5:04 was a real treat to watch 😂
Honestly that meal was lit!
I’m Polish Canadian and I love visiting Poland every summer!
Amazing! We got to visit Canada and Banff for the first time camping In our prius! You have the best of both worlds with Canada and Poland. Cheers from your friends in the states!
Cheers !
Hello from Wisconsin! My ancestors were from SE Poland - Radoszyce/Komancha. We are planning to visit!!!
Amazing! Poland totally blew us away! Amazing scenery, delicious food and the BEST people. You’re gonna love it. Thanks a million for watching!
I am from Poland and I can confirm going to Gdansk during Christmas is great
Thanks a million for watching! Poland captured our heart, we can’t wait to visit again. Next time during summer
Lovely video! Here's some extra history most westerners don't know:
The atrocities in WWII is what happens when Germans believe the Polish, Polish Jews, and Slavs [all one and the same back then] are beneath them, which they believed for centuries and this is taught culturally... The Germanization of Poland started with Prussia instigating the 18th century partitions when Poland-Lithuania was by far the most tolerant country in the world. A danger to the HRE power.
Bismarck and Frederik both detested Polish culture and Hitler was no different---the holocaust wasn't anti-Jewish, it was anti-Polish.
Anti-Polish pro-German propaganda is the best foreign influence in the English speaking world through German ministry of culture funded history research to paint them in a better light in the west's "best" universities and through film/Hollywood. Now you know.@@HeresGoodTravel
I'm really happy you liked my city! I always felt it was a great city to live in. Best wishes!
An incredible place truly. We could see ourselves living there for sure. We are trying to plan a trip with some friends from the states to show them how incredible Poland is. Thanks a million for watching!
The architecture there is Dutch, not Swedish and definitely not French.
Yes, I live here. It has always reminded me of Amsterdam.
Thank you so much for puting good word for Poland.
It’s honestly our pleasure, we are already planning on returning next summer. Thanks for watching, we LOVE Poland!
Fahrenheit was actually BORN in Gdańsk, and lived there for 15 years until the death of his parents. There's still his family house on Ogarna st. and his father and grandfather are buried in St. Mary's Church.
Amazing, thanks for the correction. So many historical figures that we had no idea were polish. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
Fahrenheit was actually German. As Gdansk used to be called Danzig and was populated by ethnic Germans, until they were expelled after World War 2.@@HeresGoodTravel
Next stop Poland!
Gotta go during Christmas market time for sure!
You have really opened my eyes to Poland, I cannot wait to go thanks to these videos! Big fan!
No problem! We we t because we got a $12 flight and ended up falling in love with it. All 3 cities were unique and memorable 10/10
Done 3 long weekends in Gdansk and am going back this Saturday for a two week stay. I can only back everything you have already said. The city fits that label we sometimes stick on places - I could live here! Just a beautiful laid back city.
We could totally live there too! So jealous you are going. We are hoping to take a trip back to Poland next summer, Alyssa wants to see Taylor swift in Warsaw and then visit some other cities we missed.
@@HeresGoodTravel My first trip to Poland was as a result of, she who must be obeyed, wishing to go to a Jake Bug concert and the London one being sold out. DId a quick search and found him in Warsaw with tickets spare and dates we could make. We managed the whole trip giving us five glorious days in Warsaw and in a five start hotel just outside the city walls for less than the trip and a one night stay in a London hotel = no competition. We've been wed 37 years now and though she was born in NY and raised in FL I imported her to the UK on a livestock licence about 32 years ago. She's now a British citizen and loves roaming Europe at every opportunity. I think that and the cats are only reason she keeps me around - I pick great off the beaten path places, feed and deflea the cats - It's my only way of staying useful. She's a purebred Sicilian NY beauty and I do whatever it takes to remain alive.
A travel tip for you. Netherlands - Utrecht. Leave Schipol airport go down the stairs onto the train platforms. Take the train to Utrecht. If my memory serves me right it's 20-30 mins on the train. Beautiful bite sized city with excellent train and bus links to no end of equally lovely little spots. You don't really need to bother with a car. Amersfoort, Delft, Haarlem to name a few.
Last one for fear of being boring. Fly to Pisa - stay one night and do the tower thing. (Pisa has little to offer other than this) Hire a car and use Lucca as the centre of your itinerary. If there's a lovelier town on this planet I've yet to find it. From there you can get the train to Florence for a day trip and use the car for the likes of Sienna (lovely) and Volterra (the boss's favourite spot) I'll leave it at that, you are more than capable of finding your own little favourite haunts.
I lied - I'll throw in another one - Dresden and Meissen and right down to the Polish and Czech borders with no end of fortified towns (Germany is beautiful if a little expensive nowadays)
LOVE this!
Gdańsk was so cool! No matter how you pronounce it😂
Thanks a lot for the video..
You’re most welcome! Such a fun one to make, thanks is a millions for watching and following our crazy adventures!
10/10 editing. Glad you enjoyed Poland :) cheers
Thank you so much! We are always working to improve the videos, glad you noticed! Have a fantastic day and happy travels
Guys you are really cool and gorgeous. Thanks for about inform Gdansk. I'll visit next month. Chao
That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said😭. Thank you so so much, You’re going to have such a good time, thanks for watching, cheers!
One historical note. Gdańsk was thoughtlessly destroyed by Red Army soldiers after the capitulation of the city. The city was demolished, plundered, people killed, women raped. Other cities suffered a similar fate. The same thing is happening in Ukraine today. The mentality of the Russian armies and methods of operation have been unchanged for centuries. The word złoty - golden is an adjective of the word gold - złoto.
It really is sad. We had a friend who had the opportunity to visit Ukraine and sang its praises. We were disappointed with everything going on. Hopefully one day we will be able to visit and support them.
You forgot to mention Wolyn. Here is not a place for politics ☝️
@@motoktm3042 idiota
If it weren't for the Red Army, you wouldn't write such stupid texts. What were the soldiers of this army supposed to do? Ask the Germans to surrender to you?
❤❤❤Gdańsk. Danzig. Is a unique powerhouse. Looks Up history of this free town
Yesssss! Preach! Our friends often ask what our favorite places we visited on our trip around the world and Danzig is the first that comes to mind!
The best one I've seen
Thanks so much! This is one of our favorite videos to go back and watch when we miss Poland. We might be going back this summer!
you both are such a good vibe :) loving you. Wherebouts in States you from?
Thanks so much that’s very kind of you! We are from San Diego, America’s finest city. Right now we are visiting our neighbors to the south in Guadalajara Mexico! Thanks for following our journey!
When in Gdańsk visit KL Stuthoff. Very close to Gdańsk
Great! We’ve saved it to our list! We are headed back to Poland next august! Let us know any other recommendations we can add! Thanks for watching
I lived 21 years in Poland. Never had a chance to visit Gdansk🥺.Great video ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words, they mean the world to us. Hopefully you get an opportunity to visit it is a true world gem!
Just discovered your channel and loving it guys. Great to see others who get crazy excited about experiencing a new place! I’m heading there in the next few weeks as part of a larger trip, so can’t wait! May I ask what dates you were in Gdańsk please? Cheers from Australia
Thanks a million for watching our Journey! You’re going to love it! Such a great place. We arrived in Gdansk in early December, we didn’t edit any videos while we were in Asia so we could enjoy the last days of our trip. We promise to get caught up and be more up to date the next trip around the world! Cheers! And thanks for following it means the world.
@@HeresGoodTravel Great, yeah, I am counting the days!! Happy travels!
I think between you, there were about 10 different ways you pronounced the city, and the currency! Lol. They sure did a great job on rebuilding the city, after the war. It's modern but has an old time feeling to it.
🤣Gdańsk was incredible any way you say it! We visit Warsaw and Krakow can’t wait to hear what we were calling those places too🤦🏻♂️
At some point, Gdańsk became the largest and richest city in the Kingdom of Poland.
It’s no surprise right on the water like that, such an incredible place. We are hoping to return to Poland for a Summer trip one day but the Christmas markets there will be hard to beat. Thanks for watching!
Great video 😊 Next time you can check Jaśkowa Dolina street, in Wrzeszcz district.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! We can’t believe we missed this. Gdansk is 100 percent a place we will visit again!
Very nice video!! Do you know if there's some kind of City Card that lets you visit the main attractions and use the public transport?
Thanks a lot! Gdansk was one of the most memorable cities we’ve ever visited. We aren’t sure about a city card like you’re talking about but would imagine there is something like that since it’s a very tourist heavy city. The transit was tap on tap off though so it was very easy to pay for each ride and the attractions were reasonably priced.
Sopot is even better.
We are headed back to Poland summer 2024 and have plans to visit Sopot! Great to hear you recommend it, any must eat restaurants for us to try in Sopot?? Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ackshually, Fahrenheit was born in Gdańsk :)
Ahh I must’ve misread the translation. Looked it up as well and read a little more about it, truly an amazing innovator! As we learned in Warsaw and then Krakow so many amazing inventors, artists and musicians were products of Poland! So many that we knew but didn’t necessarily know they were of polish descent. We went to the church in Warsaw where Chopin’s heart resides, truly amazing! Thanks a million for the clarification and for watching our travel journey. We had the best time in Poland and can’t wait to return!
Poland is usually overlooked and I appreciate you guys giving it a chance
Thank you so much to be entirely honest it wasn’t the highest place on our list but now it’s one of the places that we tell all of our friends they must visit! We love Poland
@@HeresGoodTravel It's not even that I mind that it's not a major tourist attraction because that's what keeps it so cheap and I prefer the hidden gems when traveling anyway, but it's the perception of Poland that needs to change. You guys said it yourself, you were surprised they had a nice mall LOL. The unfortunate stereotypes of Poles persists well into modern day. & the more people visit, the more people see a new side of Poland and its people. They're incredibly resilient and respectable. Anyway, regardless of the reason, thanks for visiting!
I will be there in July!
Lucky!!! Gdansk is fantastic, you will have an incredible visit!
Steak well done and medium rare in the same time :) Gdansk,love you :)
The dream combo! Gdansk was so freaking cool!
My hometown :) Just came back from the beach and it's 2 am :) I lived aboout 15 years in England,I loved it too,but Gdansk is pretty special.
Fahrenheit not only lived but was born in Danzig (Gdańsk)
Ahh yes we learned this after the fact. So many famous historical figures that we had no idea were Polish. We got to pay our respects to the heart of Chopin at Saint Mary’s Church in Warsaw too! We were blown away by Poland! Thanks a million for watching.
It looks like you had a good time in Gdansk.
We were actually considering stopping filming for CZcams when we arrived and Gdańsk brought us back to life. A magical City we will return to for sure! Thank you so much for watching!
@@HeresGoodTravel Everyone around the world knows Polish dumplings brings everyone back to life 😉
For real!! We were telling somebody how amazing the Christmas markets were and te first reason we mentioned were the pierogis!
Enjoy poland guys 💪😎🇵🇱
Thank you kindly! What an incredible place.
Haha ;D a little Yes hehe
Finally I hit the ppl who loves the extra spicy food! Hell yeah! Cheers! :D
lol thank you so much! 🥵 we can’t get enough! If you haven’t seen our Mexico series we eat so much delicious spicy food there, we’re sure you’ll love it! Thanks for taking time out of your day to leave us a comment it means the world to us!
I'm heading that way in about a month and Gdansk is on the top of my list to see. I can't wait! Cool video, thanks.
You’re very welcome! Gdansk was one of our favorite cities we visited on our 100 day Europe trip. Have the best time!

Thank you we forgot to mention that! Good looking out.
A monthly pass is around $30 USD.
Great video,
If I only have a choice between Krakow vs Gdansk, which one it is recommended ?
Cheers
Both incredible! I think krakow is a little bigger but Gdansk is more scenic with canals and beaches. We love both but choosing one we would go back to Gdansk!
I prefer Krakow, but I live in Gdańsk. Perhaps, I take it for granted.
Poland is a cold country. I invite you in July or August. You will experience heat of 30-40 degrees (86-104 F)
Ale pieprzysz...jedź do Finlandii albo Norwegi jak Ci zimno. Syberi nie polecam bo tam móglbyś zamaznąć na amen
Wow did not realize it got so hot! We knew that it would be cold, we are from San Diego and not used to the cold temperatures. It was amazing when we were in Warsaw we had a full snow day and we walked the Royal Route as the snow fell it was truly magical! Thanks so much for watching! Krakow video coming soon!
@@HeresGoodTravel Just regular four seasons. Hot summer (last years beat records) and snowy winter (sadly climate change and there is less and less ) :D
Nie zrozumiałeś o czym pisał
I am going to Gdansk what is the name of that Airbnb???
Hi! Thanks for watching! You’re going to love Gdansk ♥️ here’s the link for the Airbnb we stayed: abnb.me/TB5MF2IF3Db
Great to see you dont waste food 😅
Haha we are members of the clean plate club for sure! We even went to a baked potato restaurant and had the largest potato we’ve ever seen!
👍
Thanks so much for watching! Gdansk blew us away and we can’t wait to go back. We have a quick vlog from New York 🗽 and then we are sharing some amazing Mexico destinations! 🇲🇽
What's the actual name of the Pop up museum? I can't find it on ggle maps. Where is it?
It was an instillation beneath a church adjacent to the Christmas market but it has since been taken down and we can’t seem to remember the name or find anything o line either! We hope it wasn’t a figment of our imagination
Zlotsky, ha ha, that gave me a giggle 😁 Did you know that the name of our currency, zloty, translates to gold (or golden, depending on the context)? You were trading in gold and didn't even know it 😉
What a cool fun fact! Next time we visit we will pop that fun fact up on the screen. Hopefully it distracts people from how we pronounce it.😂
Hi guys what is the name of that hotel you guys stayed?
Sorry for the delay we were on vacation to Las Vegas and are now catching up on messages. That hotel was an airbnb! It was great, here’s the link!
www.airbnb.com/slink/L1EFJJNv
Any chance I could get that Airbnb contact😅? Am visiting in January 2024
abnb.me/4xEbFCSiFEb
Hopefully it’s available for your stay, great place!
Back in the recent 1990 I was driving through Poland and in some remote and flat countryside area I stumbled upon a motel with restaurant. I had a dinner there, full first and second meal, very sizeable and filling, with potatoes, meats, soup, breads and a full bottle of wine and it cost me exactly $2. Two freaking bucks!!! Then I decided to stay overnight in their motel and that cost me $10. Total of $12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow that’s amazing! We had some incredible food at some unassuming places but nothing like that! We will return to Poland maybe do a road trip like that, it sounds incredible. We’ve been recommended a ton of small villages and cities that we missed. Thanks for watching and sharing!
why Poland is clean and safe... I don't know, but I can guess
Of all the places we visited on our trip around the world Poland was the biggest surprise. We can’t wait to return!
and this secret should stay Secret as long as possible hehehehe but it is changing. I remember my city year 2000 July middle of the night beautuful empty the Długa street and everywhere amazing and now it is gone
Gdansk was incredible, we feel so lucky to have gotten to experience it! We love finding hidden gems all over the world!
all right@@HeresGoodTravel
You are really nice couple. Sorry about this fine. Did you visit world war II muzeum in Gdańsk?
Thanks! We weren’t able to do that museum but we were able to see some cool sights and museums in Warsaw.
A gdzie zapiekanki food
Oh no we didn’t see any when we were visiting. We looked some up on google and they look incredible! We will add them to our list so that we can try next visit to Poland!
i leav in italy
We love Italy! We have only ever been to Milan and Rome, we can’t wait to explore the seaside!
Gdansk polish, I guess this town is Danzig
Pretty sure we pronounced it 10 different ways before we figured it out😂 Great place! Thanks for watching!
I'm looking for a lady called Natalie in Warsaw. I'm from Sri Lanka. My name is Asoka. 🎉❤❤❤.
Hopefully you find what you’re looking for!
there was a massive insurgant of the Polish people to the city because (almost) all German inhabitans were expelled which made up 95% until 1946.
So sad. It was so humbling to get to walk the streets. What a beautiful rebuild and astounding resilience of the polish people. Thank you kindly for hosting us.
@@HeresGoodTravel those Polish people had to make this new and empty city home first and local develop an identity with it.
@henningbartels6245 you really get a beautiful sense of community and continuity, incredible!
@@HeresGoodTravel continuity, really? That sounds not very plausible ... when the administration changed the entire population there is a deep break ... even in traditions ... language, culture, customs, cuisine...even the churches changed confessions after the war.
I think, the pretty facades camouflage what really happened there.
You pronounce
G DANSK no A sound at end.
Ahh thank you so much! We finally figured it out but had already butchered it in the video. When go back we will mail the pronunciation.
What, did I hear that right ? You paid 7 USD for a 40 min BOLT ride ? There is absolutely no way that anybody in their right mind would drive you 40 minutes for 7 USD especially with gas/petrol being very expensive in Poland. That is like saying, I bought a Big Mac at Mc Donald in the States in 2023 for a dollar,...yeah, no such thing. I've been to Gdansk and the Tricity area twice, once in 2012 and then again in 2019 and even a cab in 2012 from the Gdansk Airport to Grand Cru hotel located in the old town of Gdansk with a shorter than 40 min drive, was several times more than what you supposedly paid, and that was 11 years ago with Poland in general being much, much cheaper then, than it is now. I know that BOLT/UBER is chaper than regular taxi but stil the doesn't differ that much. BTW, when travelling in Poland by train I wouldn't recommend taking the budget TLK intercity train especially in the summer as they do not have AC, they are overcrowded and generally have old carriages. Spend a bit more and take the regular PKP Intercity train or even Premium Intercity train as they are still quite cheap especially in comparison to Western European countries.
We had an awesome time visiting Poland and Gdańsk just might have been our favorite city we saw. Just looked it up and google says the estimated drive from GDN to old town center is about 34 minutes and a bolt ride is 53 Zloty which is about $13 USD. We were lucky to find a promo code for bolt and we’re given a credit bringing the price down to about $7 bucks USD. On our trip around the world we almost exclusively rode public transit to save money but this was a splurge that was definitely worth it. Thanks so much for watching.
Prices increase becouse of a high inflation😢
I just checked in the Bolt app. The trip from the Gdańsk airport to the city center (entrance to the Old Town) was priced at PLN 20, i.e. $4.75. The Uber app showed a higher price - $9.
About rebuilding you mess up with Warsaw
So sorry we travel to so many places and so quickly that sometimes we confuse the things we read in our head. We ran into similar problems in Mexico this most recent trip. So sorry but thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day
I wish I could have food like this in uk but the food is the worst in the world in uk😢
We found some good food when we visited the local markets in London, even have a couple videos about it. Haven’t gotten the opportunity to explore more of the UK yet but we will be back. The food in Gdansk was great though and very affordable compared to London that’s for sure!
Zloty is easier said like ZEloty if your English 😊
Finally! We have been dying for this information! Surprised it took so long for someone to let us know, thanks! We will definitely be back to Poland, hopefully with a few more words under our belt! Thanks a million for watching, it means the world to us. Cheers!
Złoty is pronounced Zwoty in English, the ł letter is an equivalent to the English W :)
Is it safe to visit during this war with Ukraine?
Yes, there weren’t any safety risks. There were some people asking for donations as well as some peaceful demonstrators but nothing dangerous.
As harsh as it sounds, in a weird way and to some extent we kinda forgot about the war. Time goes by as it used to before the war, so you are very welcome to come.
@@WedrownyGrajek
there is no war in Poland.
Sorry, but what you said about the reconstruction of Gdansk after the WW2 is not correct. Yes, the city has been destroyed in the war in something like 90%. And yes, it was a predominantly german-speaking town until 1945 but for the most time of its existence it was under the Polish crown, a main trading point for the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom. It was under German rule for some 120 years as a part of a Prussian province and there was not Swedish or French influeance in the architecture but mostly Flemmisch, as the most important architect of the town was Abraham van den Blocke. That´s why german, polish, jewish, scottish and dutch merchants streamed into what used to be Danzig back then. Danzig was also one of the official reasons why Hitler started the war against Poland in 1939 (actually first shots of WW II were fired in Danzig) as he claimed Danzing to be a German town and wanted to incorporate it into the Reich. According to the Treaty of Potsdam Danzig came under Polish administration after the war and the communist authorities decided to reconstruct it in the style of Danzig´s heyday as a jewel of the Polish crown in the 16th to 18th century taking old paintings, drawings and plans from that time as guides for the reconstruction. Most of the facades of the old buildings have been rebuild almost the same shape they were before the WW II, but the houses accommodate modern state of the art appartments from the 50ies and 60ies.
Thanks so much for clarifying! We will make a note to mention this the next time we visit.
For 20 bucks I can't get1 bloody marry drink in US.
😂Lol dying! No doubt. We should do a $50 challenge at a Polish Christmas market vs the huge one in Chicago! Thanks for watching, if you dig that one watch us fail trying to spend $100 in Bucharest Romania. czcams.com/video/PD85yygpSQA/video.htmlsi=9xmSXyxlujjxzH4N
@HeresGoodTravel Thanks for the link.have you had a chance to go see Dracula castle ?
@janantoni3604 no, we were t able to this go around. We will be back to visit Transylvania though in the future!
Americans! Read My Lips! It's GDAÑSK! Pronounce it like: GH-DAH-NI-SK. If you fail, just call it DANZIG (dahn-tzeeg).
😂thanks for the tip! We totally blew it. I think we pronounced it every way but this. Thanks for watching and helping out!
Guys..you kindda eat a lot 😂
😂Do NOT watch the Mexico videos, we go ham there😂
I eat Indian food daily
Amazing! Do you know of a good Indian restaurant in Gdansk? We might be going back this coming summer!
No , I don’t as I live in TO , but my daughter just visited Gdańsk and she never mentioned an Indian restaurant there . She ordered Indian food from a plane as she was coming to Canada lol ( she went to Sweden and England too ) . I think Katowice or even Wroclaw will have more diverse food. Besides that, Europe or North America - if you guys enjoy good food try Ethiopian cuisine! Omg adictive !!!
Polish Zloty means Polish Dollar🤣
We understand we just can pronounce it😂 I think we called the currency something different every time lol
saying that all is afordable/cheep is realy ofensive for most of us poles.. we're sweting our asses out to aford cheepest kebab twice a month. to go to the cinema with a family (with snacks pffff fuk me) is a cosmic amount of money
Apologies it was not our intention to offend. The situation is similar in the us and not very many have the ability to afford travel. We were simply attempting to promote tourism for those who might not be able to afford more expensive cities and hopefully more would come and see everything that Poland has to offer.
@@HeresGoodTravelYou don't have to apologise, it IS affordable to you and it IS relatively cheaper than typical European destinations such as Italy or France, or Scandinavia which you mentioned. And there's nothing wrong in stating the obvious.
Even if it may have sounded slightly off for some of us, Poles, a quick reflection on the topic and context of the video should be enough for us to understand you meant no harm and you are NOT responsible for some of us not earning as much as others. 😉
In comparison Vietnam, Thailand or some of the Balkan countries are really cheap for us, even though they may not be for the locals. And that just the way it is, so all gumpy people can take a chill pill. 😝
@HeresGoodTravel It's so heartwarming that you enjoyed your stay in Poland. You are very welcome to visit any time you want and spend here as much money as you can! 😉❤
@WedrownyGrajek thank you so much! We saved for 3 years so that we could make this trip happen so being frugal was important. But even if Poland was the most expensive place we visited it would still find its way to the top of our list!
During World War II, Gdańsk was destroyed by the "Brotherly Red Army", not by Nazi Germans. The Russians behaved in the same way as they do in Ukraine today. The Russians burned the city after the Germans left it and killed the Polish population.
Just so sad, thank you for the correction. Apologies.
Mike, die polnische Bevölkerung können die Russen Größtenteils nicht getötet haben den es gab damals nur eine polnische Minderheit in der Stadt. Als die Rote Armee 1945 Danzig erobert hatte gab es schreckliches Morden und Vergewaltigungen an der nicht geflohenen deutschen Bevölkerung.
be careful on them beards skirts and rockets they're waiting on the boats they're not welcomes
actually almost 100% of the "old town" is just commie blocks but nicely decorated hah
Crazy, didn’t seem that way
"Old town" is a confusing term in regards of Gdanks: there actually are more of larger apartments block.
What is mostly shown in the video is the Rechtsstadt und Speicherinsel. The Rechtsstadt has modern apartments behind historic or historical style facades. The buildings on Speicher-Island were even built after the fall of communism.
Looks so German.
yes, the Germans arranged Gdańsk their own way in 1945 :) and the rest of our country.
Berlin looks so Polish, just a poor version of Warsaw.
Danzig bleibt eine deutsche Stadt...
yes, the Germans arranged Gdańsk their own way in 1945 :) and the rest of our country.
Na szczęście Niemcy wymierają i koszmar ich porządków z okresu drugiej wojny światowej nigdy nie wróci. Z nowymi mieszkańcami Niemiec chyba my Polacy jakoś ustanowimy pokojowe stosunki. Niech będzie pokój!
Es war nie deutsch und es wird es nie werden. 😂
A Berlin Polskim w końcu założyli go słowianie ciągle wiele słowiańskich ziem jest pod okupacją niemiecką
@@Lexusik Yes, they armaged it in Poland. Zuerst macht Ordnung im deutschen Kalifat.
hallo
