1. Chain Bridge – (Szechenyi Lanchid)
First of all, I would like to start with the Chain Bridge, which is the oldest bridge in Budapest.
This is an enormous bridge. very important for Budapest. Because it divides the city into two as Buda and Pest.
Because it has a different beauty both day and night, I say you can see every aspect of it.. But especially at night, the lighting is excellent, and truly impressive landscapes emerge.
Well, let’s talk about the history of this famous bridge connecting Buda to Pest:
Before the building, whose official name is Széchenyi Chain Bridge, was built> In the city, there was only a floating bridge.
To make the situation of crossing more practical, one of the most important statesmen of that period, Széchenyi, came up with the idea of constructing a permanent bridge.
Budapest travel guide – Budapest chain blind – Chain Bridge – Budapest attractions map
And with planning starting in 1839 The Chain Bridge was opened to the public in 1849.
In the mid-1800s, the Austrians tried to blow up the bridge but were unsuccessful.
Then the Germans nearly destroyed the bridge in 1945.. Of course, the bridge, which is the symbol of the city, has been rebuilt.
So you can understand, this bridge is actually a symbol that resists all kinds of difficulties.. And its structure is not like other classical bridges.. For this reason, it is already more valuable.
By the way, if you are staying on the Pest side, you can proceed to the Budapest tour from this point to the Buda side.
The Pearl of Budapest, the Chain Bridge’ I would like to continue our journey that started with the UNESCO-protected Buda Castle:

2. Buda Castle and Its Surroundings
Let me start by saying that Buda Castle and its surroundings, referred to as Budin Castle in Turkish, certainly offer the most beautiful panoramic views of the city..
I say Buda Castle and its surroundings, because the area is not just about Buda Castle.
Its medieval streets, baroque and gothic style architectural structures, 19. This is an area closed to traffic, spreading over a wide area with its houses dating back to the 19th century and its magnificent views. “caption-attachment-23014″ class=”wp-caption-text”>Places to visit in Budapest – Buda Castle has such a beautiful architecture (Photo: Tripadvisor)
So these beautiful structures were built by kings after 1265. It was the place where they ruled both the house and the country.
The person who had the first royal count built on the hill of Budin Castle with a beautiful view was King IV.. It is referred to as Béla.
Although Buda Castle witnessed golden times, 13. Since it has been subjected to many invasions and bombardments since the 19th century, it does not have its first original state.
But despite all the numerous changes, the medieval atmosphere of the main streets in the region has never been spoiled.
This is why walking around and around Buda Castle gives you the feeling that you can embrace history to the fullest and touch the ancients, as if you are walking in ancient times.
We talked about Buda Castle, its history and its surroundings.. Now let’s see how to get there:
Places to visit in Budapest – the night lighting of Budin Castle looks amazing (Photo: Tripadvisor) )
By the way, if you say “How can I find a cheap flight ticket to Budapest”, I would say read This Post till the end.
How to Go to Budin Castle :
- First option : History built in 1870 at the end of Zincirli Bridge take the funicular to Buda Castle. By the way, round trip fee of the funicular: 1800 Forint. (3 minutes to go up)
- Second option : Using the shuttles from Lánchíd Street in Clark Adam Square. It leaves every 10 minutes between 10:00 and 18:00. Round-trip fee: 1941 Forint (6 Euros). If you buy a whole day, you can ride as many times as you want during the day.. I think it makes more sense than the funicular. Because it stops at 6 different stops in the area. My advice is to get off at the first stop and walk.. It’s more enjoyable that way.
- Another favorite option of mine is : Walk up any path you prefer.. You can also discover small sweet cafes as you walk.
By the way, there is no fee to enter the castle, it’s open 24 hours a day.. You can enjoy the view in the garden of the palace at any time.. (Of course, the most beautiful hours are close to sunset)
Finally, you can visit the Budapest History Museum in the Budin Castle District. The entrance fee is 2000 Forints, free if you buy a Budapest Card.
Since we are talking about the castle, which is a part of the World Heritage Site, let’s continue our list of places to visit in Budapest by mentioning the historical buildings around the castle:
3. Fisherman’s Bastion (Fisherman’s Bastion)
We are going to Fisherman’s Bastion (Halászbástya), which I love the most in terms of scenery.. It is considered to be Budapest’s favorite viewing area.
If we look at its history; Blended with Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque styles, the bastion was completed in 1902.
The fisherman’s name comes from the fish market in the lower reaches in the Middle Ages.
At that time, the fishermen of the market made significant efforts to protect this part of the city.. And for this reason, the bastion was built to commemorate the fishermen.
Budapest Fisherman’s Bastion – Prague Vienna Budapest Travel Reviews – Budapest excursion – Budapest places to visit – Budapest places to visit map
By the way, the fairy-tale image of 7 towers, walls with coats of arms and a monumental staircase decorated with various motifs connect the castle with the beautiful streets below.
Also, from here, the Danube River. You get the chance to watch the city, the Parliament Building, Margaret Island and many more together.
The only problem is that it is very crowded and you have to wait in line to take pictures.
<
Finally, I would like to make a suggestion: There is a fee to go to the top when you enter, but I don’t think it’s necessary.. The lower floors already meet your expectations.
By the way, I suggest you check out the hotels in Budapest starting from the lowest prices: This link.
4. Matthias Church
Matthias Church, located right next to the Fisherman’s Bastion, is one of the must-see places in Budapest with its architecture and scenery.
Why? Because the church is both the 2nd century of the Middle Ages.. Buddha Church and 7.
The coronation ceremonies of many Hungarian kings took place in this church. In addition, the church, which has existed since 1015, was used as a mosque for 150 years during the Ottoman Period.. It was rebuilt in Gothic style when its original state deteriorated.
Places to visit in Budapest – The elaborate architecture of Matthias Church (Photo: Tripadvisor)
Since the church is also used as a museum, sarcophagi and holy relics are also exhibited inside. The most important sarcophagus to see is King Bela’s sarcophagus and sarcophagus.
By the way, there is a fee to visit the inside of the church, but you do not pay a separate fee for the museum.. The entrance fee to the church is :
- Matthias Church Entry Fee: 1500 Forint.
5. St. Stephen’s Basilica (St.. Stephen’s Basilica)
Now let’s go to Budapest’s largest church and most magnificent structure. I’m not exaggerating when I say ‘the most magnificent structure’.
Because the tallest building in Budapest is called St. Stephen’s Basilica.
The reason is out of respect. the fact that a building higher than the basilica was not designed. Only the Houses of Parliament are at the same height as the basilica.. Which shows the balance of religion and state affairs in the country.
If we look at the history of the basilica; The construction period of the building took 54 years.. Because the dome of the church collapsed in the middle of the construction phase.. Later, Architect Jozsef, who knew all the original applications, died.
Places to visit in Budapest – St. Stephen’s Basilica – Budapest places to visit map (Photo) : wikipedia)
Of course, the construction continued with another architect at full speed and the opening took place in 1906.
In the meantime, the interior design of the basilica has a Neo-Renaissance style.. And it’s tremendously detailed.
Hungary’s largest known bell, weighing 9.5 tons, is also located south of St. Stephen’s Basilica.
Finally, the basilica Music has always been given great importance since its establishment.
This is why concerts are held with the basilica organ at 17:00 on Mondays throughout the year.. You can join by buying a ticket for 3000 Forints.
Well, let’s see how to get to this magnificent basilica and what are the entrance fees:

How to Get to St. Stephen’s Basilica:
- If you are on the Pest side and close to the Danube, the basilica is within walking distance , is located in a very central location.
- If you are a little further away, you need to get off at the Janos Street stop with the M3 line metro and walk to Szent Istvan Square.
- Open address: Szent Istvan Square 1 Budapest 1051 Pash 5. District.
St. Stephen’s Entrance Fees:
Entry is free if you wish to tour the church. But there is a fee to go to the church terrace and see the church treasures.. Their fees are as follows:
- Go to the church terrace: 600 Forin
- See the church treasures: 400 Forin
6. Jewish Quarter & Dohany Street Synagogue
Let’s go to the neighborhood where Jews used to live in Budapest, which is also located on the Pest side.
In the past, Jews had a hard time in Budapest. Today, there is a very large Jewish population in this city.. The reason is that the Jews used to live in this region.. “So what’s in this area now?” if you say :
Jewish Quarter; It is a region where the young population spends their time frequently, where almost all the fine restaurants and world-famous Ruin Bars are located.
Ruin Bars, Budapest Night, where I tell about Budapest nights. You can read about life in my article in detail.
Places to visit in Budapest – Don’t you think the outside of Dohany Street Synagogue looks like a mosque? (Photo: Tripadvisor)
When you visit the Jewish Quarter;
- Visit Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park,
- The Jewish Museum ,
- The Emmanuel Tree and
- Of course Europe’s largest synagogue and the World’s 5th. you see the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue.
Synagogue, 19. Built in the 19th century in the Moorish style. Islamic pattern of North Africa combined with medieval Spanish motifs. In other words, no Jewish architectural style was used in the synagogue.
If you want to stay around the Dohany Street Synagogue, you can choose the places that are suitable for your budget.
I think that’s why the synagogue looks like a mosque outside and a church inside.. If we look at the entrance fee to the Synagogue on the Pest side:
- Dohany Street Synagogue Entrance Fee: 4000 Forint.
7. Budapest Parliament Building
The Parliament Building in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is the most popular structure of the city.. So I can say that we have come to the most popular part of our Budapest attractions list.
Do you know why it is so popular? Because this huge building is the 3rd largest building in the world.. It has the title of Parliament Building.
The building’s 691 rooms and 20 kilometers of stairs reaching a height of 96 meters attract attention.
In fact, the building is only 100 years old.. But despite this, it is considered as one of the important buildings in the scope of architectural history with its Neo-Gothic style structure.
I mentioned above about a building that is at the same height as Saint Stephen’s Basilica, this is this famous building.
Budapest Parliament Building – Hungarian Parliament Building looks great with night lighting.
Both are the tallest buildings in Budapest. This equality symbolizes the balance between religion and state issues in the country.. It’s so thoughtful.
By the way, the building is located on the Pest side and in a very nice location to the Danube. Watching the building from Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion is another nice thing.
Of course, if you want to photograph the entire building, you have to go to the Buda side.. I recommend you to see it especially with night lighting.
How to Get to the Hungarian Budapest Parliament Building :
- First option : Go to Kossuth Square with the M2 line metro and walk a little.
- Another option is: Take the yellow tram number 2 along the Pest along the Danube River and get off at the Kossuth Tér stop.

8. Shoes on the Danube
While I was walking towards the Parliament Building, the 60 pairs of iron shoes I saw along the Danube broke my heart.. Because his story is really deep.
So, 2. When the Hungarian Government was taken over by Hitler in World War II, approximately 20,000 Jews were massacred on the banks of the Danube.. And these shoes are the traces of those who died…
The Jews were asked to take off their shoes at gunpoint and jump into the river.. Regardless of whether they are children or women…
Places to visit in Budapest – Places to visit in Hungary – Hungary trip – Budapest
Turk living in Budapest, Can Togay, to draw attention to such a human drama, designed this iron shoe project and brought it to life together with Sculptor Gyula Pauer.
The shoes they designed also bear traces of personality traits.. A woman’s high heels, a child’s small shoes and a man’s boots are symbols of these ugly memories of the past…
I think it is a very meaningful breakthrough.. It is a moment of silence for all the people who died in this incident in 1944…
9. Heroes’ Square (Hösök Tere)
Heroes’ Square is one of the largest and most important squares in Budapest, and even in Hungary.
Because Hungary proudly celebrates its own history. This is a magnificent and impressive place that it exhibits.
The most important feature that makes this square famous is the Millennium Monument being here…
What makes the Millennium Monument special is that it was built to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the establishment of the settled Hungarian State, with the arrival of 7 Hungarian tribes in the Carpathian Basin.
Places to visit in Budapest – Heroes Square – Places to visit in Hungary – (Photo: Tripadvisor)
In this large and flamboyant square; It is really impressive to see the statue of Gabriel on the middle column, and the statues of important people, famous statesmen and kings in Hungarian history.
And to read the best-known memory of that person written on the reliefs under each statue, there It allows you to internalize more with the atmosphere.
As I said above, the Millennium Monument is important, here is another feature that makes that monument important that the Andrássy Boulevard is enlarged and includes the first metro line construction project of Budapest…
After this beautiful project was completed in 1900, the square was named ‘Heroes’.
And then Heroes Square, Andrassy Boulevard and Millennium Metro Line were established in 2002 by UNESCO World It has been included in the Cultural Heritage List.
How to Get to Heroes Square :
- You can get off at Hösök Tere Stop by using the M1 metro line.
10. Budapest City Park (Városliget)
After visiting the impressive Heroes’ Square, I say let’s walk towards Budapest City Park in a sunny weather.. The park is located right behind the Heroes Square, anyway.
This park, where you can spare half a day, is the first public park in the world, founded at the beginning of the 19th century…
Budapest City Park has entertainment or activities for every taste.. Don’t be fooled by the name just for the park.. There is so much to do inside.

12. Margaret Island (Margitsziget)
The location of Margaret Island is beautiful. Because it is an escape point in the middle of the Danube River that separates Buda and Pest, not far from the city but where you can find all kinds of activities independent of the city.
Let me first mention about the island: Margaret Island is 15 minutes away from the city center.. But everyone can’t find time to go to the island because they visit the places in the center first.
I definitely recommend you to spend half a day on the island.. I think you should plan accordingly.. Do you know why I want you to see the island?

Greece‘s greenest island Lesbos owes its green nature to water resources. Lesbos, the third largest island of the country, has lush forests, water springs, tiny canyons, endemic plants and incredible mountain views.
The island’s second largest city, Plomari, is and places that manage to stay away from the negative effects of urbanization due to its geographical location.. When you say the second largest city of the island, Plomari is not a city-like place.. The size that we can call the largest town or seaside resort in Turkey.. With its scattering mountain villages, the population of 7 thousand finds it difficult.
Plomari Square
With its pristine beaches, historical wooden houses, small taverns, plane and olive trees, coffee houses and views, Plomari journey is one of the best options to get away from it all.. No matter how crowded and active the center of Lesbos is, Plomari experiences the opposite.
The birthplace of Barbaros
As Captain-i Derya, the first captain of the Ottoman Empire Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha, who was the pasha and the great admiral, was born in Plomari in 1473.. Although there is no trace of Barbaros in Plomari, this name is very important for the history of the seafaring town.

The place where ouzo and olive oil soap were first produced
strong>
Within the Greek islands, 19. Turning into one of the most important centers of industry, commerce, production and maritime trade in the mid-century, Plomari is also the place where the Greek national drink ouzo was first produced.. Today, just like raki, the quality of ouzo is measured by the water used.. Since Plomari has the best quality drinking water sources in the geography of Greece, the aroma it adds to ouzo is noticed everywhere.. There is no production today, except for a few ouzo workshops.. Plomari, with its beaches and cultural tourism, is a region where European, American and Turkish tourists spend more time in high season.. Since it is not very well known, the region, which is not crowded and uncomplicated, is ideal for those who want to relax and have a peaceful holiday. Ouzo, which he throws, is consumed in a similar way in coffee houses today.. Drinks thrown together while playing backgammon or chatting with friends accompany the pleasant conversation.. Unlike Turkey, the coffeehouse culture in Greece also includes the offering of liquor.
ouzos produced in Plomari
Because of the ouzo production, it is between Lesbos and Plomari. there is serious competition. What makes the cute town one step ahead of this competition is the quality water source and the qualified anise grown in the region with aromatic plants.. It is possible to count Pitsiladi, Yannaçi, Varvayani and Plomari/Isidoro Arvaniti among the ouzos that have become brands in the town.
Things to do in Plomari
The so-called ‘old town’ in the center of the town, which is one of the oldest settlements on the island, is where you can witness typical Greek architecture.. Two-story, bay window, mostly wooden houses line the narrow streets.. It is essential to enjoy walking among the historical houses on quiet and calm streets without traffic noise and to breathe the atmosphere of the town.
There are many shops, shops and coffee houses around the big plane tree in the city square.. After wandering the streets, it is quite enjoyable to relax, have a drink and chat with the local people.
The beaches, each carrying the blue flag, which are chirpy in the summer season, are an unforgettable experience for those who love sea, sand and sun holidays.. Agios Isidoros Beach is shown among the few beaches not only in the region but also in Greece.
Oceanis Cafe
Make sure to try frappe, one of the cold drinks consumed by the Greeks.. Iced coffee, which is prepared by adding milk and sugar according to preference, is available in cafes and coffee houses in every corner of the town.. One of my suggestions is the Oceanis Cafe, where we sit to drink frappe with its stylish design.. Souffle is around 3€, waffle is around 4€, frappe is around 2€, Turkish (Greek) coffee is around 1.5€.. When you sit in all restaurants and cafes, a large glass of water is offered free of charge.. Get immersed in life by sitting in the cafes that stretch towards the beach and the port.

The Mytilene-Plomari Road
How to get to Plomari
<
Plomari is 42 km from the center of the island of Lesvos.. Due to the nature of the road, this journey takes approximately 50 minutes by private vehicle.. In order to go to this town from Turkey, it is necessary to take a ferry from Ayvalık to Lesbos.. After the ferry ride that takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, the port of Lesbos is reached.. There is a municipal bus service between Mytilene and Plomari that runs 3-4 times a day.. However, without the hassle of the city bus, choose a pleasant journey by renting a car and being included in the nature view.
Plomari with its unspoiled nature, friendly people, historical structures, magnificent beaches, ouzo, olive oil and soap >, one of the most beautiful corners of Lesbos. Those planning a trip to Mytilene should spend a few days in this beautiful town.
After our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, with a 55-minute flight from Varanasi.. Nepal is 3 hours 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
From Victoria Subirano’s book named A teacher in Kathmandu so that you can get an idea before you come to Nepal. you can watch the movie “A Mirror in the Sky” which he freely inspired. It is the film that reveals how the education system in Nepal works, poverty and mysticism.
Kathmandu is located in the valley at the confluence of the Vishnumati and Bagmati rivers.. There are dozens of temples hidden between its streets.. While it is difficult to breathe from the exhaust fumes in its narrow streets, it is certain that you will discover many things in the company of colorful shops, peddlers, bookshops and local people.
A blend of 2 religions, It is very possible to see that Buddhism and Hinduism coexist in the country where it is intertwined, and this unity is reflected even in objects and temples.. Whether Buddhist or Hindu, everyone can easily perform their daily rituals according to their religious beliefs.. There are enough temples in the city. Someone who goes to work or wanders around the streets completes his prayer by ringing the bell in the tiny temple on the street and applying the red paint inside the temple to his forehead.. A person who has prayed has red paint on his forehead. When you see this, know that that person has prayed. Let’s not forget that the main element of flower worship. During the worship we witnessed in temples, they offer flowers to their gods and light candles.
We were surprised that the fruits we ate did not taste salty, although agriculture is the livelihood of the country.. Especially when we say that the banana is disgusting that we have not eaten in our life, we say it’s like straw, we ate a banana that tasted just like that.. We got our Nepal visa quickly and very easily at the airport for 25 USD (15 days). They came to meet us because our hotel had a pick-up service.. We arrived at our hotel without the need to take a taxi.
We wrote the details and places we visited in separate sections to be more descriptive.
But first, let’s list the must-haves and some information you need to know for those who are considering coming to Nepal:
Take a mask. Too much air pollution in the city. If you don’t want to walk in dust and smoke, take your mask.
Bring walking shoes. The roads are very bad and dusty.. If you don’t want your nails to get dirty, wear sneakers.
Those who come to Nepal by plane should get a free map from the airport.. The map you will get from the hotels is not very descriptive and guiding.
Visit the bookstores in the Thamel area. There is a wide variety of books, magazines and many products for anyone interested in books, not just travelers.
Buy LP-Nepal. If not, you can find it in Thamel.. But those who do not want to buy definitely need a guide in the temple areas.. But for me, the temples and the figures carved on the temple do not mean anything, if you only want to take pictures of them, you do not even need a guide.. They charge up to 100 rs from tourists, don’t give more than 25 rs. For your information! Locals don’t like discounts in Kathmandu.
. If you are going to shop, know that they sell you exponentially more expensive.
Although not everywhere, 25% tax is charged in many restaurants and cafes.
Have dinner at Northfield Restaurant in the Thamel area.. There will be a pleasant dinner next to a cozy wood fire accompanied by Nepali music.
Entrance fee to all Durbar squares.
Kathmandu Durbar Square : 750 rs.

There are some places that I came across somewhere and noted down and I couldn’t wait to go… Here is such a special route for me in Gdansk
I have been on my master’s degree for almost a year. Since I live in Brescia, Italy, I plan to visit various cities in Europe in combination.. I chose Gdansk first and said I’d go to Norway from here, to Alesund…
Gdansk Overview / Famous “Pencil Houses” of the City
My Plane Could Not Land in Gdansk
Here come the time, I went to Alesund and even got on the plane to Gdansk on the way back!
Oh what a plane ride…
While getting on I knew there was 55 km/h wind in Gdansk but I guessed it would be okay. But we couldn’t land on our first try, it passed, the plane was rocking like a cradle!
I Shared Those Moments We Couldn’t Land in Gdansk on Instagram @gorkemliyollarcom
An airstrip I was on for the first time in my life he had to pass, luckily the pilot managed to land in Gdansk on our second attempt…
It wasn’t a very good start, but I’m welcome Poland
Trying to go to Gdansk Glowny <
Finally Gdansk!
If the plane landed so hard, you should also think below, it’s as if I don’t come from the Norwegian fjords but went there, it’s so cold, wind, rain all together…
Since I got off at 10 pm anyway, I’m in trouble to go to my hostel and sleep You can actually reach the center directly from Gdansk Walesa airport by bus. But the buses after 11 o’clock leave at a different station called Wrzeszcz, and from there you reach the central Gdansk Glowny train station by commuter train.
That’s exactly how I got to the city and my hostel, but thanks to the Polish, who helped me while I was waiting for the bus. Thanks to a college couple…
Hello Gdansk / My First View in the City / Going to a Hostel
About Gdansk
Good morning from Gdanks!
This is Poland’ A city located on the Baltic Sea in the north of. Actually I visited all the Baltic countries and I loved it very much, but they said to Gdansk that this is Poland, you are not exactly Baltic
I mean this is Poland but Gdansk I think It’s even more beautiful than Poland…
Morning Hours / Walking By Motlawa
I’ve visited the capital Warsaw before, but now Gdansk is getting me pretty excited, let’s see what we’ll see…
Since my hostel is located at the northern end of the city, I also start walking from the riverside towards the center.
Yes, Gdansk is a typical Baltic city… I say that this city also has islands, rivers and plenty of water
strong>
Too Much Wind, But Not Without a Selfie
The Spirit of Gdansk: Motlawa River
Our River is Motlawa!
If I follow the Motlawa river, Gdansk’ It means I can almost completely tour the city. Because the city consists of this city and the small islands it surrounds.
First of all, when I come across a beautiful Gdansk text, she says OK. um I’m in the right place…
I Love Those City Names You Must See Me To Understand The Wind…
The Famous Cute Pencil Houses of Gdansk
The first thing I want to tell you in Gdansk is actually Houses that make up the unique architecture of this city.
In fact, although you can see similar ones in other cities of Germany and Poland in general, the ones here are more characteristic.. Thin and long, crooked, colorful houses like pencils!
Famous Pencil Houses of Gdansk / I Found This Name If I Found It In The Sun From The Tip, A Selfie Immediately…
And to the bottom aren’t they built?
Sweetly narrowing the top floors…
I admit that I saw the aerial view of these house-filled streets and fell in love with Gdansk and I thought I should see it. . Yes, maybe I won’t be able to see it from the air, but I’ll still see it.
“The top floors, which narrow down sweetly…”
There Could Be A Modern Building Without Destroying The City!
But here it is one thing to visit and see another photo of it.. The photos did not have modern siblings of these typical Gdansk houses either!
Yes, as a civil engineer, I noticed the modern buildings in Gdansk from the very first minute. Because the modern structures here are “we are modern” They don’t smirk They went and built with a nice modern interpretation of architecture similar to their old brothers.
I can’t say I’m not impressed with this work, Gdansk can still be visited after 50 years…
Modern Gdansk Houses I Like Very Much, There Are Some More Futuristic As Well… These Also Provided a Nice Transition / Modern-Old
Is Crane One Of The Attractions In Gdansk?
Now by the riverside While walking on the promenade called “Deptak Nadwodny”, I see one of the first things that come to mind when I think of places to visit in Gdansk.
What is that Crane?
Interesting place in Gdansk Crane The River And The Crane Look Better Here
Yes “Crane” is one of the interesting structures in Gdansk. This used to be a crane building used to load ships. If I said old, of course.. century is quite old The original state is destroyed, but the current one is worth seeing.
There is the Black Pearl of the pirates of the caribbean a little further ahead, there are nice photos, try it here…
Black Pearl is also here <
Like the Harry Potter Scene: Mariacka Street!
I’m diving down the river into Mariacka Street now
Mariacka at first sight became my favorite place in this city!
I feel like I’m on the street where I’m going to choose a wand for Hogwarts. “Hagrid, where do we get the wand?”
Can it be without a photo Mariacka Street
In Gdansk, you can feel an interestingly slightly British air; mysterious buildings painted in a depressing style, staircases in front of houses small courtyards and magnificent artistic details…
These small courtyard houses on Mariacka Street are boutique shops! Local products, gifts or jewellery, whatever you are looking for. All meticulously furnished with excellent details, this place can be studied for a few hours.
Magnets Here from the Map Detailed Shops in Mariacka Are So Sweet
Across the river side of the street, the huge St.. Mary’s Church…
Undoubtedly, it is one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, you can go inside and have a look at it.. Mary’s Church Is Also Visible
The Rain Follows Me
Just at that moment I’m being caught in the rain!
If it rains, I have a solution; raincoat and my umbrella…
Now it’s time where the heart of Gdansk beats; Long Sunday!
Long Sunday With Shaking Rain
Long Sunday
Long Sunday ie Długi Targ is a classic Polish style market-square. I don’t know why these guys built such thin and long squares, but it happened
As the name suggests, this is a long market area. If I said market, it means small peddlers and generally the shops lined up along the square, better if I say square…
Long Market / Długi Targ
You can see the most beautiful of the typical cute pencil houses of Gdansk that I mentioned in the Long Market.. The ones here are a little more historical and have wonderful decorations.
Also, I think the most eye-catching structure of the square is Gdansk Town Hall.
Gdansk Town Hall with its golden inlaid tower and legendary beauty. The clock may be the most magnificent structure in this city!
The Long Market and the Magnificent Gdansk Town Hall
Gdansk, the City of Gates
My market is at one end of the street, the Golden Gate is at the riverside end there is also the Green Door…
I forgot to mention; Gdansk is the city of gates
You can often see these gates in the old city centre.. It is generally built like 2-3 storey private buildings and has arch-shaped openings from the inside and you enter and exit the square and the street from there.. Especially the Golden Gate is another beautiful one, don’t miss it…
I’ll be visiting soon The Golden Gate / The surprise is gone! The Sun Is Clearly Opening The Gates of Gdansk: This Green Gate by the River
Is it a Rainbow?
And these gates are rain shields for me! Because I’m stuck at the door leading to the river from Long Market, it’s raining heavily
But a few minutes later, “the sun?”
If there’s rain and sun, let the rainbow come !
My Rain Shield Behind the Green Door I Watch Gdansk with Rain and Sun; Delicious!
Things suddenly turn upside down in Gdansk, it’s sunny now
The weather in the city has really changed with the sun and rainbow. Those depressing houses have turned into bright spring colors, now It’s time to wander the streets and take photos a lot.
The Rainbow Has Arrived Can I Pass Such An Unforgettable Moment Without A Photograph? This Is The Back Side
Gdansk’s Islands
I set foot on one of Gdansk’s islands from the Green Bridge in front of the Green Gate. I say island, but it is a part of the city I say so only because rivers run on both sides.
This is also a very touristic area, but it is under construction for now, that catches my attention the most. lots of mobile sweet sellers I see around. Poland’s sugary pastry desserts are in vain, definitely try it!
Here’s the Island for You Just Kidding The River Divides A Wonderful Street I Discovered, Find It “Poland’s Candy Sweets pastry desserts of all kinds”
“The cafes of this city are very nice”
I want to have a snack and rest now. Şso that I can have a little view so that I can both fill my stomach and watch the city
Eat a great boutique pancake shop called “Pan Kejk” on the Long Market I came. There is everything to eat and drink here, and you won’t believe the prices. I got a great sandwich, salad and unlimited coffee for only 15-20 zloty.
I Need to Have a Rest and Eat Something / “Pakejk” Gdansk
Time to enjoy sunny Gdansk. I pass the Golden Gate at the upper end of the Long Market and open to the modern part of the city.
There is a triumphal arch-like gate and another historical building behind the Golden Gate.. You have now reached the wide streets of Gdansk here.
Gdansk Became Another Beautiful When The Sun Comes Out The Golden Gate I Just Mentioned Gdansk Houses Also Shine Differently!
A Little Out of the City, The Environment Is Different
There is a huge modern shopping mall right across the street. It is also possible to see socialist-style buildings when you go to a little bit further in the city. Gdansk dates back to different historical periods. It is a city that has witnessed it too.
I am now finishing my sightseeing in Gdansk.. You might think that this city is an atmospheric place anyway, and all its streets and avenues are special in general, so I say go everywhere
The Other Side of the Golden Gate and the Starting Point of the Modern City, The Shopping Center Just Opposite the Long Market , Trams and Wide Streets A Little Beyond the Shrin You Can See These Types of Buildings Now Some Gdansk Travel Tips!
