Contact me on my Instagram , let’s talk about all travel issues 🙂
How Many Days to Visit Lisbon?
Portugal is actually from the south coast, A country that requires almost a week to tour its iconic cities.. Time is limited, we will not be able to go down to the beaches, but we wanted to at least visit Lisbon and Porto, and even spend time in Sintra and Pena Palace, which can be the subject of fairy tales.. We had 4 nights while planning this trip. You can easily visit Lisbon in 3 days, but we were trying to create an opportunity for Porto by completing the places to visit in 2 days with a rushed pace, and we succeeded.
So if you have Schengen Visa and 4 full days. This country, far to the west of Europe, will be waiting for you.
Our Itinerary
Days 1 and 2 Lisbon’ u sightseeing and 2 nights stay in Lisbon
3rd day Take the 06:30 train from Lisbon to Porto and 10:30′ get off in Porto and tour Porto for 24 hours and stay for 1 night
* If you had time, Aveiro stop near Porto Costa Nova I would like to go to , you can evaluate it.
4th day Return to Lisbon from Porto by 06:30 train and get off in Lisbon at 10:30. 1 hour journey from Rossio train station to Sintra to visit Sintra, evening farewell to Lisbon and accommodation
* If you had time, Sintra I would like to go to Cabo Roca and Cascais from tra, you can consider it.
5th day return home by morning flight
How to Get to Lisbon? Lisbon Transportation
You can plan the above-mentioned program to start from Lisbon or Porto because THY flies to both Lisbon and Porto from Istanbul.. There is no company option other than THY, because the other company flying from Turkey is Air Portugal, they also operate codeshare flights.. For this reason, it is necessary to chase a campaign for Portugal.. We bought tickets for 2 people for 1400 TL with the THY campaign.. Considering that it is a 4.5-hour flight, it is very successful!
I congratulate myself for this decision in our trip that we have chosen as our main destination, Lisbon! Just between you and me, it’s probably because I love the city life more, unlike most people Lisbon has overtaken Porto for me.
Transport from Lisbon Airport to the City
Get your ticket from the machines and take the metro of the red line. If you buy a one-time ticket, you can transfer within 1 hour.. If you arrive in the city early and will be visiting that day, you can also consider a 24-hour ticket.. During my entire Portugal trip, I saw that the ticket control was done very well.. Jackals who think that they can pass without buying a ticket, there is no such thing here.
How to Get Between Lisbon and Porto?
I pass by thinking that the bus is unnecessary and I go back two times. option remains. Should you travel from Lisbon to Porto by train or rent a car?
If your Portugal trip is around 1 week and you are going to the south coast, a car will be a must, in this case you will go by car and incur 25 Euros for the highway fee.. Otherwise, both Lisbon and Porto are never cities to be visited by car, on the contrary, the parking problem is both a problem and a cost.. In short, I am glad that we used the train option and we traveled with peace of mind.. 06:30 trains enabled us to use the day very effectively.. Since Portugal was 2 hours behind us, our biological clock felt 08:30. The Most Economical Lisbon Transportation Option
You will already have a sigh of relief on the Lisbon slopes, but although walking is very enjoyable, there will be places in this city where you will need to take the metro.. For example, you will use a definite means of transportation for the district of Belem.. Or you will want to visit the city with the famous number 28 yellow tram.. Or you will use the elevators for Lisbon’s viewing terraces and taste the nostalgic funicular.. Even if you do one of these, the most logical way is to buy a daily ticket.. I think the price is extremely affordable, tourists are very lucky in this city.. A 24-hour ticket is 6.30 Euros and then you can relax.
Lisbon Accommodation Recommendation – Where to Stay in Lisbon?
When you think of Lisbon, three districts come to mind. Baixa-Chiado, Bairro Alto, Alfama. We arranged the accommodation in Alfama, where the famous historical tram number 28 passes through narrow streets.. We were very pleased with our Alfama – Lisbon Lounge Suites hotel and the neighborhood, but it was a bit salty. On our last night after returning from Porto, we rented a room in Lisbonera Guest House, which is also very close to the city, and it was incredibly clean even though it was an apartment with a shared toilet, we wished we had stayed here all the time.. I leave them both here for you.
Portugal Travel Cost – Our Travel Budget (total of 2 people)
- Flight Ticket: strong>1400 TL
- Accommodation: 280 Euros (If we had found our second accommodation, which I thought we could have made a profit of 80 Euros!)
- Lisbon – Porto Transportation / Train: 76 Euros
- Other Transportation: 32 Euros + 10 Euros Sintra Train Tickets + 10 Euros Transportation from Sintra train station to Pena Palace by tuktuk
- Food & Drink: 200 Euros
Lisbon Attractions & Our Lisbon Travel Route
HELLO ALFAMA! WE COME
There is the smell of the old district on it. Its historical streets are wide enough for the yellow tram to pass, the viewpoints called Miradouro where you can enjoy the viewing terrace on the orange Lisbon rooftops, and of course, the places where you can listen to the traditional Portuguese music Fado the most.. In short, it is definitely inviting, it certainly does not regret it.
There is a boy playing the guitar in Miradouro de Santa Luzia’ and in the evenings he goes to Portas do Sol’. Ring in my ears if you go to listen to him at sunset for me! After all, “My biggest dream is that there is no country left where I don’t see the sunset!”
When you go down from these observation terraces, you will see the Se Cathedral, namely Lisbon cathedral. If your attire suits you, enter this church, which was built as a mosque in the past, there is no entrance fee.. Also, when the yellow tram is coming at the exit, you catch it in front of the church and form a postcard square.
Keep walking towards Baixa – Chiado, the next day you will see all of these touristic points by tram number 28. We will see it with the help of the city, but a preliminary exploration makes the trip more enjoyable.
Rua Augusta Jewelerywhere we can log in with a Lisbon card and watch the scenery is our first stop in this district.. (Of course we didn’t get this card, what’s wrong with watching from the beach?) Then we head along the famous Augusta street to the Rossio stop, which you will use for transportation many times, as if walking up Istiklal Street. We understand if we have come to the fountain in Praça Dom Pedro, that is, Rossio Square’, if every place has a city center, this may be the place.. There are also places called Ginjinha Bar and Ginjinha Sem Rival where you can drink Ginjinha liqueur, Portugal’s famous drink.
here. One day, we came across a large group of students soaking each other with marches at the fountain.. When we asked, we learned that this was an event for the first grades and in this way, their studentship became official.. Saturnalian! Of course, I should also mention that students studying in Portugal are very cool because they wear black uniforms and capes.. These students, who are walking around as if they have stepped out of the movie HARRY POTTER, have also inspired J.K.Rowling, my dear grandmother, that there are many traces of this land in the book.. While the Hogwarts dining hall resembles the Majestic Cafe in Porto, my grandmother wrote the Philosopher’s Stone here and at the famous bookstore Livraria Lello when she lived in Porto. Salazar even created the character of Slytherin, inspired by the famous dictator of Portugal.. Anyway, I’m closing the topic without going too private about this subject, but in a way, we can call it the holy land for Potterheads.
Let’s continue with the Santa Justa Elevator because it is right next to this square.. Every time we go, there is always a queue in front of this 19th century elevator, if you have a 24-hour ticket, you can go up for free and watch the view.. Otherwise there is a 5.15 Euro fee. When you take the pleasant elevator, you pay 1.50 Euros whether you have a ticket or not, and you reach the point where you can call Lisbon from above.. But as I said, no line, no line!
We had our dinner at Cervejaria Ramiro, very close to here! They said the best seafood in Lisbon is here, it turned out to be true. But when we went, we took a line from the vending machine and waited for 2 hours.. How popular! You must eat shrimp. The mussels were also good, but those garlic breads and lots of garlic shrimp were legendary! We paid 30 Euros for 2 people, including drinks.
WE OPENED OUR EYES ON THE TRAM NO 28 ON THE SECOND DAY!
Travel by sitting on the yellow tram as I wish and taking pictures with pleasure. After breakfast at Copenhagen Coffee Lab, we stopped at the starting stop of the tram, Martim Moniz. I made a nostalgic journey where I had all the happiness of being a tourist until the Campo Ourique stop! If you do not have a daily ticket, you can board by paying 2.90 Euros.. Attention, 24-hour tickets are not sold inside, you can only buy them from metro stations.
You will see Elevador da Bica before you come to Campo Ourique stop.. Whether you complete the road and get on again, come or get off there, but to take a nice tram photo, you should definitely make Bica one of the stops on your list.. It costs 3.90 Euros one way, if you have a 24-hour ticket it also includes. After we took care of the photography, we went down with it.
When you get down, bus 714 will take you to the LX Factory’. You can visit this facility, which was a factory from 1846 to 2008, by getting off at the Calvario stop and walking for 4-5 minutes.. There are plenty of concept cafes, restaurants and design shops inside.. We chose a hotdog dish here at Dogs, it was pretty good.. A huge hot dog costs 7.5 euros. The bookshop Ler Devagar is huge, offers great sightseeing and beautiful photo frames. I bought a postcard from here as a souvenir. Rio Maravilha would also be a good option for those who want a bridge view.
Speaking of the bridge, yes, that red bridge you see in Lisbon is like San Francisco’s Golden Gate! And next to it, there is Cristo Rei, which is very similar to the Statue of Christ in Rio, Brazil.
Now there is Belem district on the route, almost the farthest district from the city centre.. Of course, we first go to Pasteis De Belem to eat Nata dessert, and Umur shows everyone that she loves Portugal’s traditional dessert by eating 6 Nata’s! Although it is a very famous place, 1,10 Euros each.
The magnificent Jeronimos Monastery
, which is on the Unesco list, is right next to this patisserie, where the famous sweet Nata, made by the monks working in the monastery, is sold. strong> exists. Entry fee is 6 Euros, free with Lisbon card.
Belem Tower and Explorers Monumentour last stop here. Entrance fee to the tower is 6 Euro, free with Lisbon card. I think you can take the best photo of the tower from the stairs near the beach.. It was peaceful to sit and watch the waves.
On the way back from Belem, you can take the 15E tram to Cais Do Sodre.. If you get on from the monastery instead of the tower, it can be overcrowded, so the order of visiting the patisserie, monastery, tower is very logical. SLOWLY GOODWILL TO LISBON
We’re ready, we’re open, we dived into Time Out Market (Mercado da Ribeira). I love the places where you can eat all kinds of food with many stands like this.. We’re having some fun here, and just as we’re leaving, we throw Nata at Manteigaria, the biggest rival of Belem Patisserie, and go to Pink Street.
Actually, my intention is to come to this pink street named after it in the evening and that’s it. was to see the night life, but what is it, we get up at 06:30 every morning and start walking.. This place, painted pink in the urban renewal project and presented to Instagram, has been a blessing!
Okay, we’re back now, let’s have one last meal, while Elevador is right next to Gloria’ exploring the Miradouro Sao Pedro terrace next to it. How nice to have a spontaneous night out of nowhere. We are very lucky because there is a fair on the terrace, a wonderful band plays under the streetlights, we drink Sangria and have street food.
It couldn’t have been a better farewell!
A few notes:
- Everything like olives and bread brought to the table without asking you is paid. You can send it back if you wish.
- The water is very normal and you can find normal non-carbonated drinking water everywhere.
- The canned food is very famous, they look very sweet.. You can buy it from the shops or markets in the center and try it.
- They have reached outer space in the tile business, they have amazing handcrafted products.. If you’re curious, you can lose yourself while browsing the counter.
- Everywhere you will see Super Bock beer with a very seedy name but a good taste.. I think it tastes good, but don’t forget that the wines of these lands are also very famous.. Especially Port wines.
- Se Mea, A Cevicheria, Lost In – Esplanada Bar were places I wanted to go, but I didn’t have the opportunity.. Keep in mind.

Ouzo’s Birthplace Plomari, Mytilene
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.

Nepal Arrival
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”.

Gdansk Travel Notes: Better Than Poland!
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!

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.
