A Walk Through Beautiful Gdansk, Poland! 

We plan to visit Poland this fall. All our grandparents came to America from Poland early in the 20th century. Based on your terrific video, we will visit Gdansk. Proud of what Poland has accomplished and our Polish heritage!

I love Gdansk and Sopot. Greetings from Belarus.

You have a pleasant accent and wonderful story-telling skills. Cute kids too. I hope that your channel will grow. Good luck!

Awesome film. You are a perfect narrator guide, a lovely voice to listen to, and you tell a most interesting story. I visited Gdansk in the autumn of 2020 and I love the place but I wished I could have seen your video before it. I am actually planning a second visit now so your guide will be very useful indeed. The Solidarity museum is so vibrant and fill me with such awe. I remember the days of 1980 very well and it is inspiring to see what change is possible if we unite and just put our collective minds to it. Thank you!

Gdansk był bardzo zniszczony podczas 2 wojny swiatowej.Polacy wykonali niesamowitą pracę aby odbudować miasto. To miasto rosło w potęgę dzięki polskiemu zbożu ,soli, drewnie itd. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam

You show all information in a very interesting way. You so perfect that I think you work as a tourist guide.

Your pictures from your camera are very beautiful, your commentaries are precise and very informative.

Impressive. You are a great storyteller.

Bardzo rzadko zdarza się dobrze zrobiony vlog angielskojęzyczny o Polsce. Ten jest świetny. Na ogół o Polsce ciekawe vLogi robią vlogerzy rosyjskojęzyczni: Rosjanie, Ukraińcy i Białorusini. Bardzo dobre zdjęcia i świetny reaserch. A Polacy? ... filmują najchętniej egzotyczne kraje:-) ps: Czarna perła właśnie dokonała abordażu na statek pogłębiarkę i jest nieco poturbowana a załoga to oczywiście prawdziwi piraci, coś wypili ale nie wiadomo czy był to rum:-)

well done , very informative and easy to follow .You know more about the city's history that average Gdansk citizen. Great history lesson for everyone ...Bravo and Dziekuje!

This is on my list for this year. I visited Krakow a couple of years ago and loved it. I thought this was so informative. Thank you!

Es ist meine Heimat. Leider haben meine Eltern meine wunderschöne Heimat mit uns Kinder verlassen. Ich fahre jedes Jahr in die wunderschöne Stadt, Sie hat Geschichte, Kultur, Moderne, pulsierende Stadt, wunderschöne Natur, ganz tolle Menschen und ich habe natürlich auch die Schattenseiten mit Solidarnosc erlebt. Meine Tante war die Künstlerin Elzbieta Szczodrowska, die hat damals Gdansk mit aufgebaut und war Professorin an der Kunstakademie in Gdansk. Sie hat mit meinem Onkel Robert Peplinski bei der Solidarnosc Bewegung mitgemacht und das Denkmal Solidarnosc für die Verstorbenen von 1970 in der Lenin Werft erstellt. Leider ist Sie und mein Onkel verstorben, aber ich fahre trotzdem jedes Jahr in meine Heimat und werde dort wieder hinziehen, weil diese Menschen Ihre Kultur, Ihre Familien , Geschichte und Natur zu schätzen und pflegen wissen. Dankeschön für deine Ausführung über diese wunderschöne Stadt. 🙏

Thank you very much for a very informative video. I'm Pole and have been many times in Gdańsk but you delivered me with quite a bunch of facts I heard for from you for the first time. Thank you very much !!!

Lech Walenca war damals unser Nachbar. Wir haben mit seinen Kindern im Hof gespielt. Ich habe noch Bilder von der damaligen Korrespondenz mit den Minister und meinen Onkel Robert Peplinski in Warschau, wo es um dieses Denkmal ging. Der Minister schaute sich das Model dieses Denkmal an und sagte , es sollte so klein bleiben, wie das Modell, aber mein Onkel meinte, wenn ich das Denkmal mache, dann soll es so groß sein, damit jeder es sieht. Ich habe auch Bilder mit den einzelnen Platten am Denkmal die meine Tante in Ihrem Attelier erstellt hat. Schaut mal in die Brigida Kirche in Gdansk, dort hatte die Bewegung Solidarnosc Unterschlupf gefunden. Der Pfarrer wurde in den 80 er Jahren gefoltert und anschließend getötet, weil er dieser Bewegung Unterschlupf geleistet hatte. Dort sieht man sehr viel von meiner Tante Elzbieta Szczodrowska und meinen Onkel Robert Peplinski . Dankeschön für deine Ausführungen, ganz toll dargestellt. 🙏

Undoubtedly, the best presentation about my hometown and its history by a foreigner. Whoever you are, thank you for your brilliant presentation and congratulations on your extensive knowledge.

This is such a wonderful video.

My favorite city in the world 🌎, Gdainsk Poland 🇵🇱 ♥

Oh, my beautiful town! I live here since 17 years. But Australia is beautiful too 🤩😃. Especially Perth and area. I was delighted with nature and people 🌴

Very good. Great knowledge.

Great history lesson👍 Gdansk looks really amazing in the morning. What time did you film this? I have never seen streets of my city this empty. Love the Sołdek and Motława shot👌🙂

Wow thank You. I live in Gdansk but some of the informations was new for me :) Thumb up!

Brilliant video!♡Thank you so much! Best from Poland!

THANKS A LOT MAN GDANSK IT'S GORGEOUS CITY BIG👍

Why King Arthur? In the Middle Ages, Europe experienced many famine events caused by crop failures. The grain harvests were affected the most. In West Europe, wheat was the main cultivar and as it requires a long growth period it was also the most susceptible to the severe fluctuation of weather patterns. The small wheat harvest being the base of staple food, equated to famine. England, (if one counts it as a part of Europe ;) have had seen such traumatic events quite often. The most ‘famous’ was the Great Famine of 1315-1317. Agricultural practices in Poland then were different, and they haven’t had relied so heavily on a single staple food crop - WHEAT. The RYE was the other significant cultivar that produces smaller yields but more consistently even in bad weather seasons. That's why Gdańsk was so important merchant port and the Vistula River the umbilical cord feeding starving Europe on occasions. Taking into account the frequency of famine events in England one might infer that the merchants under King Arthur's emblem were 'the best' customers in Gdańsk those days (what about today ? :). So, why King Arthur's name was selected for Merchant Court? It should be obvious by now ... marketing in the business is everything!

Excellent history lesson! Poland is a humble country not out for gaining world power yet, they survived/ rebuilt the country after WW11.

Igen - kedvenc lengyel városom a Krakkó, Wroclaw és a Gdansk - Egyenlőre ❤️

Interestinh👍like to go there

I love Gdańsk!

Excellent presentation! Mate.

Read and saw a film Amber museum has been moved (about a month ago) and now open in the Great Mill. Looks wonderful now , as the old place was not disability and children friendly.

i share your excitement. its infectious.

When in Gdańsk you should visit KL Stuthoff. Very close to Gdańsk

Proud of my city 🤩😄

Wow Nice ..........!!!

Dziękuję za piękny materiał o moim mieście Gdańsku!

Damn, I'm impressed. You made a great clip. I enjoyed watching it. Many Poles don't have such knowledge about this city. I have often corrected historical inaccuracies in RU-vid comments. I bow my head before your great work. Congratulations !!! Gdańsk was destroyed in 86%. Sovieci did the main damage after the end of hostilities. I highly recommend Gunter Grass's book "The Tin Drum" or the 1976 movie. The Old Town was only partially rebuilt. It is actually contemporary construction with reconstructed facades. The buildings in the city were more dense. Referring to the cosmopolitan traditions of the city, a Theater was built referring to the tradition of Elizabethan theater. Shakespeare festivals are held there. This is a very interesting contemporary building. A less known fact is the bombing of the city of Wieluń. It was the first act of II W.W. . The first bomb fell at 5:21 on All Saints Hospital. 75% of the city's fabric was destroyed.

Very nice video. Thank you

good job mate

Supper …👍❤️

Are you an Aussie ? Thats lit man you know way more than me about my hometown

when does the walk start?

Everywhere seems deserted. Where are the people?

Old town is a masterpiece, but rest of the city looks poor. Sopot & Gdynia is much safer and clean.

IT'S DANTZIG!

Are you Aussie?

This is very good, but a bit sanitized. You seem to want to avoid the reason why so many buildings are in the Dutch or Flemish style. Could it be that many of the original inhabitants were Dutch or Flemish or. God forbid, Germans? As Poland emerges from communism it has started to deal with its past, including the fact that 5 million Germans were forced out and replaced by 5 million Poles who had come from what is now western Ukraine and Belarus. Most honest Poles will tell you that they are inhabiting a city and a region that was not really all that Polish, but was at best partly Polish in some places. They will tell you that their ancestors came from places such as Lvov and Wilna. At least they are being honest.

🇩🇪❤️🏳️‍🌈

ciekawe czy sa świadomi kontrowersji związanych z solidarnoscią i wałesą

WHO cares about Gdańsk its overrated

Incredible knowledge about history my friend, well done!

Good stuff. Everything you want to know about Gdansk in a single well-condensed video.

This city doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thanks for shedding light on its beauty.

This is a wonderful video introducing me to Poland. I ran into an English gent whilst on Grimsey Island a couple of weeks ago. He told another woman & I at the guesthouse, that we should visit Poland because it's a beautiful country with a lot of history & very nice people etc. I said, okay. I will. During the last week of my trip, I met a super nice guy from Poland who was also touring Faroe Islands & he agreed with what the English gent told me. So now, I've added Gdańsk, Poland to my September itinerary. Is there a link to Agnes' tour? I'm a little late to viewing this & not sure if I missed it mentioned in comments already. Thank you!

Thanks for making this video. Very beautiful city and history behind ❤️

Wspaniały materiał. Pozdrawiam serdecznie ze Śląska.

Excellent.Good luck in Poland !!!

I hail from Warsaw but honestly Gdańsk is my personal favourite of all the cities in Poland I've ever visited.

Great video. Wonderful city. Love Gdansk.

6:03 all those buildings on that grainary island that you are showing were not there 10 years ago when I was there. They were all added recently

Gretings from Gdańsk 🤗

It looks beautiful with the water so still like that and all the reflections. I miss the old Gdansk before it was gentrified . Who lives in all those new apartments? Not locals I bet.

Tylko Polskę miasto

Wow amazing video, thoroughly enjoyed every bit 💪🍻

its so nice to listen of your narative and presentation, excellent work

Solidarity Union was founded in 1980 and the height of the movement was throughout the ‘80s, non ‘90s.

i like the narration and how you went a great length to film it outside of busy hours. Let me guess, between 4 am and 6 am? :) what is also respectable is that how you put extra effort in proper pronounciation of names too.

Well. I’m happy to see that someone out of my country and city makes some vid about Gdansk. This city was amazing looking, trade and cultural place. War destroy a lot as we all know. They is many nice stories and many sad as it can be. It’s hard to live in a calm way when you are located between f imperialists. Welcome in Poland.

hands down, the most informative gdansk video i was able to find. great work, cheers!

Excellent stuff 👍👍

It's a great video

its refreshing to see presentation not as one big selfie stick walking . keep goin. whats that band in 36.00 min?

Soon coming

👍

Great video! Thank you for the historical context as well. Learned a few new things about Gdańsk. Lol Warm regards from New York City.

Good stuff

Bolek i Lolek piękna bajka.😁 Dziękuje za fajny film Thanks.
