Riga Travel Notes: Christmas in Latvia!
Today I will tell you about another beautiful city that I visited as part of my trip to the Baltic States and Belarus; Riga, Latvia.
Sunday, 11 December 2016. I wake up early in the day in Tallinn, Estonia. I have already left my hostel and arrived at Tallinn Bus Terminal for my bus that will take me to Riga.
On the way to Riga
The distance I will travel today will be about 310 km by road.. I will make this trip with the ticket I bought from LuxExpress for 10 euros months ago.
My bus is leaving, it is about -5 degrees outside but sunny in places.. Beautiful snow landscapes accompany me along the way.
I would like to briefly talk about Riga and Latvia.. Latvia is a small Baltic country that seceded from the USSR in 1991.. Population up to 2 million. The country, which is also a part of the European Union, is The Euro is the currency and the official language is Latvian.
Riga Overview
Turkish citizens need to obtain a Schengen Visa for their visits. If you come from a different Schengen Country like me, you don’t need to do anything.
- Which Countries Do We Need to Get a Visa to
Capital Riga , the most important city of the country in every sense, its population is around 600 thousand.. In 1201, it gained population and fame with the visiting German Merchant Ships.. The old city center, which contains the most beautiful examples of the architecture called Art Nouveau, is one of the favorite cities of the world with its socio-cultural diversity and high standard of living.
The Daugava River and Riga’s Bridges <
After a fast and pleasant journey, the Daugava River and the beautiful bridges of Riga caught my eye. I’m at the Riga Bus Terminal around 10 o’clock. The terminal is right next to Riga Central Market.
From the moment I landed,the crowds surrounding me caught my attention. Everything becomes clearer as you keep walking. This was an area where the street markets of Riga were established.. It seems very lively especially on Sundays where I live.
Riga Central Market
As always, my first job is to examine prices, products and people in the market.. I would say the prices are below the European average. In fact, most vegetables and fruits are at the prices of our country.. The products are quite diverse. You can also find local and touristic products here.
After taking a look at the Riga Central Market right next to it, I’m on my way to my hostel.. Since the place I will be staying is in the Old Town, the city starts to impress me from the very first minutes.
First of all, I come across unique old-style buildings.. They almost spill ! They even fell out..
Old Ruined Buildings
Even buildings in such a bad condition are part of the atmosphere of the city I can say. Most will be refurbished soon.. However, they are quite impressive as they are.
As I keep walking, I see buildings that reflect the common influences of the architectural style called Art Nouveau and Russian Architecture . Meanwhile, I reached the Naughty Squirrel Hostel, where I will be staying this evening.
The amount I paid for one night at the hostel is 7 euro. I can say that hostel prices in the Baltic region are generally affordable at this level.. Also, from the very first moment, the friendly people in the hostel made me forget the freezing cold outside!
Houses Unique to Riga
After I quickly leave my stuff and get ready, I go out to start my Riga tour.
I just mentioned the cold. Riga is located in Latvia quite far to the north of our country. In the winter months I am in, the weather is usually at minus degrees.. It is imperative that you prepare well before you come here.
I made my list of places to visit in Riga beforehand and tagged it on my map.. There aren’t many places in the city that I can talk about by name.. Riga is an impressive place with its general atmosphere.. The cities I can compare to in this area are Prague, Tallinn, where I came just this morning, and maybe Sicily of Italy.
Kungu Street, Riga
I start walking on Kungu Iela, that is, Kungu Street. My first stop is the House of Blackheads, which I can call the symbol of the city.
House of Blackheads structure, 14. built in the middle of the century. Its architect became identified with the city of Riga over time.. The building, which was damaged during the World War II period, took its present form after the restoration.
House of Blackheads, Riga
With its astronomical clock and beautiful engravings located next to St.. Peters Church.
St.. Peters Church is one of the tallest buildings in the city with its 130-meter-long clock tower. This church, built in 1743, is worth seeing with its distinctive dome and clock on the top.. Peters Church
Continuing on Kungu Street. Along the way, I’m surrounded by Christmas decorated buildings and trees. The city is very lively at this time of the year.
Riga Cathedral and the lovely square in front of it appear before me.. The square has street shops resembling a fair fair and nice Christmas events, in the style I am used to from the Baltic region.
Old Town Square, Riga
Watch the Riga Cathedral with nice live music playing in the background. i’m diving. As the name suggests, the cathedral is the largest church in the city.. It is popularly known as “Dome”.. This building, whose construction was completed in 1211, is the oldest in the city.
I buy small pieces for my collection from the nice shops in the square.. I should also remind you that Riga is also famous for beer and wine. Here you can warm up with a warm wine and taste these delicious local delicacies.
Riga Cathedral
Riga Cathedral, where I have just been, is in the old city center. Now I keep walking north of town. Just 300 meters from the square, three lovely buildings called “Three Brothers” greet me.
These three beautiful brothers, 15. It is one of the most beautiful buildings of Riga, dating from the 19th century and with its current form.. You should watch with the naked eye the light sun filtering through the clouds and the beautiful colors it has!
Three Brothers, Riga
When you turn left in front of the brothers, the street that comes out will take you to Riga Castle.. There are also consulates of various countries on the way.. The light-colored and organized architect of this place reminded me a little of Vienna.
Riga Castle is next.. Originally called Riga Castle, built in 1330. One of the oldest buildings in the city, together with the Riga Cathedral. The castle, which was also under the rule of the Swedes and Russians in the past, is used as the official residence of the Latvian Government today. strong>it has survived in a very renovated form rather than the original.
The castle is located at the north end of the old city centre.. I’m just walking towards the new city center now, but before that I have one last place to visit; Swedish Gate and Jēkaba Kazarmas.
Swedish Gate, Riga
Swedish Gate is one of Riga’s attractions. The passage under two beautiful Riga houses is called the Swedish Gate.. During the reign of the Swedes, this gate was the entrance point to the city.
Jēkaba Kazarmas, ie Jēkaba Barracks, which is right next to it, is among the structures worth seeing.. It also hosts a war museum.
Jēkaba Kazarmas, Riga
Speaking of museums, there are dozens of museums in the city.. In fact, most of them are small and I recommend them to those who spend a long time in this city.. If you are very interested in Latvia’s history, you should not miss it, but if you are content with more city experiences and certain historical information like me, I think it’s enough to just research and experience the city.
All over the barracks. When you pass the paint, you will now see the renewed face of Riga and Bastion Hill Park.
In short, Bastion Hill is a park in the heart of the city. A small canal runs right in the middle of it.. It has formed a beautiful unity with the pleasant buildings around it, the swans swimming in the canal and the statue of liberty in the middle.
Bastion Hill Park
I suggest you walk through this park.. There are dozens of beautiful little details around it.
I should also talk about walking a little bit.. Riga is a pretty small city. If we consider the touristic parts, I can say that it is in a circle with a diameter of 1 km.. So it will take only 10-20 minutes on foot to reach most parts of the city.
If you want to reach places across the river and further inland, you can take the buses that leave from the bus station and Riga Train Station.
Riga Streets
The places I will visit in the first place are completed.. Now I’m on my way to my hostel via Kalku Street.
I need to add another parenthesis to Kalku Street.
. This is the most important street of the city in classical discourse.. Surrounded by shops and restaurants. There are good restaurants where you can try Latvian Cuisine.
Latvian Cuisine is not as rich as our country, of course.. However, they have a variety of unique dishes.. I had the chance to try more meat and rice alternatives. Instead of telling you to go there, I would like to suggest and show you a place to eat.
Riga Streets
There are good restaurants on Kalku Street that I mentioned, but their prices may seem a bit expensive.. It is possible to find much more modest beautiful places in the side streets of the Old Town.
I also said that the country is famous for its special beers.. There are local pubs almost everywhere where you can try these beers.. I have to say that the city’s nightlife is also quite lively. If you like pubs with live music like me, this is your city!
I just arrived at my hostel!. In the evening, I will spend time for a short city tour and some entertainment.. All the structures I mentioned to you are quite magnificent under the lights.
To sum up, Riga met my expectations at a high level.. The city has a nice atmosphere just like Tallinn.. I think it is one step ahead of the Baltic capitals.
House of Blackheads / Under the Lights
If you visit the surrounding capitals like me,. You can understand more clearly what kind of transitional architecture and culture Riga is in.. This place is not exactly like Estonia, but also like Lithuania. They have been in a transition under the influence of many cultures, this leads to a more impressive adventure for us !
I have to talk about their people. I’m pretty north and it’s so cold. However, people are warm-blooded contrary to expectations.. In general, I can talk about a Scandinavian and Russian mixed society physically.. I did not encounter any problems in the way they view the Turks.. Wherever I said I was Turkish, I was greeted with respect and love.. I wish I hadn’t woken up this morning with bad news from our country…
There’s not much of us in the city. I came across a Turkish Restaurant and I didn’t see anything that reminded us of it.. Riga is also a nice place to get away and relax. The city is very quiet and calm. It’s also pretty safe. Among the most livable cities in my eyes.
Local Wine Shops / Old Town
In general, prices are at the level of our country.. I should even say that alcohol and meat prices are lower.. I only took one day but made full use of it. My advice to you would be 1-2 days.
Turkish Airlines has direct flights to Riga, Latvia. You can reach here in only 3 hours. My suggestion is to explore the Baltic States in one go. Only 300 km north of the city are Tallinn, Estonia, and 300 km south are Vilnius, Lithuania.. You can get here by bus and train at an affordable price.
These are what I’m going to talk about for now.. I’m wrapping up my post here. I also have travel notes for the surrounding cities mentioned, you can also review them. For your questions, you can use the comments section at the bottom of the page or my social media accounts, have a nice day all of you!

Helsinki, Finland My Travel Notes
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.
Akrasi, Ampeliko, Megalohori, Neohori, Paleohori, which is known as Plomaritohoria on the south coast of Lesbos The town, consisting of the villages of Plagia, Trigonas, has a strategic location.. Dominating Chios in Greece and Karaburun in Izmir, the town has a deep-rooted trade tradition.
Beautiful photos can be taken in the side streets of Plomari
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.
There are 3 different museums in the town that appeal to enthusiasts. Varvayianni Ouzo Museum, Lomari Isidoros Arvanitis Ouzo Museum and Soap Museum are must-sees to see the most important production tools for this town.. The hospitality and warm welcome at the museums make people happy.
Where to stay in Plomari
There are nearly 25 accommodation options in the charming town.. Among these places that can be preferred according to the budget and accommodation concept, there is also a hostel, a luxury studio.. So before you go, decide exactly what kind of place you want to stay.. I stayed at Frini Studios on my trip to Plomari. There is a special 10 percent discount for Keşfetsek at the property that got full marks from me for its hospitality and approach.. Check out my Frini Studios post for discount details and a closer look at the facility.
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.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square : 1100 rs.
Patan Durbar Square : 500 rs.
Eat jujudhav yogurt in Bhaktapur. We should have paid 25 rs for 3 yogurts, but because we are tourists we paid 150 rs
Eat Daal Bhaat. It’s like Indian Thali.
Eat Momo. A dish resembling a tibetan dumpling. Vegetable, buffalo meat, chicken options are available. A little spicy and bitter.
During the time we were in Kathmandu, we made kora in Buddhist temples, translated mantras and sent our wishes to the universe in the fastest way, we worshiped according to God in Hindu temples :), We photographed the most beautiful examples of Newari architecture, followed closely the funerals of the cremated dead in accordance with Hinduism, practiced their rituals, respectively, Svayambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey Temple) temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan Temple, Kathmandu and Patan Durbar Squares. SummaryArticle NameNepale ArrivalDescriptionAfter 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 with a 55-minute flight from Kathmandu Ya Varanasi, the capital of Nepal.. Nepal is 3 hours and 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
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

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…

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!

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?

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

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!

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!

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
