I have already mentioned that we weren’t satisfied with what we saw inthe Maritime Cultural Centre. Instead, we treated our trip there as a wonderful
walk in Gdansk Old Town.
I said that I really like the Old
Town but don’t visit it
that often. Luckily for me, when we went there for that walk it was still
before the high season so there weren’t that many people there. It wasn’t
empty, far from it really, but still it was possible to easily get around.
This time we chose a different path than I normally choose when walking
from the railway station to Motlawa
River, which gave me a
chance to see some parts that I’ve seen only from the distance or have never
seen at all. Wonderful old buildings, monuments, love bridge. Gave me a chance
to satisfy my eyes with the wonderful colours, structures, textures. And to get to know that Gdansk Old Town is really amazing and that we have nothing to be ashamed of! It's colourful, well preserved, taken care of. It's beautiful!
One of the most prominent figures in Gdansk - John Hevelius (Jan Heweliusz)...

One of the main symbols of Gdansk - the Crane
Mariacka Street - or Amber Street as it is often referred to as you can buy lots of amber there
The love bridge
And the view from the love bridge
It's lovely!! I really love the constellation painting on the building- that's fantastic!

It really was a wonderful day. One of the first really warm days and a wonderful beginning of a-week-long weekend ;)
ReplyDelete@ Gesci - There was another constellation painting on the other side of the building. I was impressed with the fact that you can make an old building look pretty amazing and totally fit into the surroundings (the statue of Hevelius in this case).
