Top Things to do in Gdansk
What to do and see in Gdansk, Northern Poland: The Best Museums
One of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, has played major roles in history, especially in the 20th-century. It was the 1939 flash point of World War II, and then in 1980, the birthplace of the Solidarnosc labor movement, ushering the end of Communist domination in Eastern Europe. Gdansk’s Old Town, painstakingly reconstructed to its Hanseatic League glory after being leveled in World War II, is a highlight. The 14th-century Town Hall houses the city’s historical museum.

Invisible Gdańsk is a new attraction on the tourist map of the Tri-City. The idea of the museum is to enter the world of the blind for a moment and discover reality with all the senses except sight. The tour takes place in complete darkness, under the supervision of one of our guides - a blind person - who lives with darkness every day and knows how to move around perfectly.

We believe that the experience of the Polish road to freedom gives us civic energy even today and that the heritage of Solidarnosc (Solidarity) is still a source of invigorating ideas for Europe

The main exhibition gives a great insight into the latest history of the world - shows how the communism collapsed and how, in a peaceful way democracy was introduced in central and eastern Europe. Exhibition is interesting, it is presented in a modern way with numerous interactive elements.

This is a fitting tribute to those who tried to stand against the Nazis at the start of the war. A small museum, but worth taking a few minutes further walk after the WWII museum to pay homage here.
