Just got back from Waterville and Gdansk with friends and I’ve got to say: the vibes are epic, especially if you love cozy canals and western-style architecture under hazy, rainy skies 🌧️✨ Here’s the best stuff we did, and some pro tips to make your own trip smoother! Must-See Places in Gdansk: 1. Christmas Market (Targ Węglowy, 80-980 Gdańsk, Poland | Nov-Dec, 12pm–8pm): Grab mulled wine and locally-made sweets, and get lost in the festive energy. Insider scoop: Visit early afternoon to dodge the dinner rush! 2. Canalside Walk (along Motława River, near Długie Pobrzeże): Stroll the iconic canals lined with red-brick buildings. Even on a cloudy or rainy day, the reflections are stunning for photos (umbrella totally recommended ☔️). 3. European Solidarity Centre (pl. Solidarności 1, 80-863 Gdańsk | 10am–6pm): History buffs, this is your spot. Interactive, English-friendly exhibits. Waterville Highlights: - Canal View: Take it slow by the tranquil canal edged with classic western architecture. It’s perfect for outdoor strolls, especially on a cloudy day if you’re into moody travel vibes. - Local Cafés: Find a spot near the water for hot chocolate or hearty Polish soups. Rainy days are best spent sipping and people-watching. Getting Around: Use local trams and buses—cheap and easy. In Gdansk, download Jakdojade for routes on the go. Food Recommendations: - Sample the pierogi at Pierogarnia Stary Młyn (ul. Straganiarska 21, Gdańsk). - For a quick canal-side snack, grab zapiekanka from a market stall. - Don’t miss the gingerbread at the Christmas Market! Quick Tips: Cash and cards both work, but small bills help at stalls. Dress warm and pack layers for gloomy days. No visa needed for EU or Schengen passport holders. #TravelPoland #WatervilleViews #CanalVibes #GdanskTips
