Looking for off-the-beaten path destinations in Europe that are chock full of history? Throw open the door to Gdansk, Poland.

Gdansk is a good choice for a 3-day weekend city break in Europe, especially for those who prefer a less touristy destination compared to Krakow or Warsaw.

Tricity, which consists of Gdansk, Sopot, and Gdynia, offers a variety of activities for visitors. You can walk around Gdansk and admire its architecture, or explore its history at the Gdansk Shipyards where the Solidarity movement began.

Westerplatte, where the first shots of World War II were fired, is also a great place to visit to learn more about the area’s history.

If you are looking for a relaxing day at the beach, Sopot is an ideal destination. Finally, Gdynia has a large covered market where you can indulge in Polish baked goods and other treats.
