Munich Travel Guide
The capital of Germany’s rich state of Bavaria, located in the middle of Europe, continues to maintain its wealth with its past.. We hope that the Munich Travel Guide’ that we are trying to prepare will be a guide for you on your Munich trip..
Munich, which is like other green cities of Europe, is among the cities of Europe with a high standard of living..
The known population of the city of Munich is approximately 1,500,000. This figure reaches 5,000,000 with its surrounding cities.. The city, which was established by the Isar river in the north of the Alps, is the reason why many people prefer to live due to its high living standards.
Munich, a beer city, hosts a festival whose name the whole world knows.. Famous brewers such as Schneider, Fransizkaner and HB are the brands that draw the most attention at this festival.. Hofbräuhaus (HB) is one of the places that Hitler addressed to reach the society.. Approximately 40% of Munich’s population is Catholic.. The colorful Christmas markets that Munich also hosts before the New Year are also the reason for many tourists to visit.
Munich Hotels, Where to Stay in Munich?
We can say that we have a lot of experience about Munich Hotels. Going to Munich is one problem, finding a hotel is another.. The reason is that the city is surprisingly expensive.. Especially if you want to be here at Octoberfest , you are in serious trouble..
To stay in Munich and avoid transportation problems, we recommend that you choose the city center Altstadt . Indeed,
Munich City Center Hotels are located in this region.
If you find a hotel in Munich for less than 100 Euros, consider yourself lucky. We had to stay in 2 different hotels for the 2 days we stayed.. Because the average price of a hotel for 2 nights was higher than the average price for one night. Then we thought we could stay in 2 separate hotels.. Then we achieved the goal when we did a different query for each night.. In this way, both the nightly prices decreased and we were able to stay in the city center.. It’s good for you to try.
The hotel where we will stay for the first night is the Hotel Hotel Am Markt Munich in the center, while the hotel where we will stay for the second night is the Hotel Amba at the central train station Hauptbahnhof.. You can click on the hotel names and view them.. The prices we stayed in September 2018 were 116 Eur for Am Markt and 90 Eur for Amba..
As a note, we did not consider breakfast at the hotel in Munich, because the prices requested for breakfast for one person were not less than 15 Euros.. When you think of breakfast, don’t think of a breakfast with honey and butter.. A breakfast consisting of 3-5 varieties and croissants served in front of a small buffet..
We made our hotel reservations through the portal named Agoda.. We didn’t have any problems. Click the link below to see the options..

Munich Transportation Guide
Munich, like other European cities, is one of the cities that does not cause problems in transportation.. Although rail transportation is common, the most convenient way of traveling to Munich from other cities is the bus..
Munich Airport Transportation, How To Get There?
You landed in Munich and passed passport control, the next action is to reach the city center. The point you should pay attention to at Munich airport is which terminal you are in.. (this question becomes more important when going from the city center to the airport). The most logical option to reach the city center from the terminal is the S-Bahn train line S and the S1 and S2 lines connected to this line.. With these you can reach the central station Marienplatz.. (here, you can think strategically and choose the Airport City Day Ticket for 13 Euros). You can use it until 6 am of the following day.(2019))
The other transportation option that works both from the city center and the airport is Lufthansa Express Buss. To get on these buses, you must Lufthansa. You don’t need to be a passenger. We used these buses to return from the city center to the airport.. The ticket price we bought directly from the driver is 11. (September 2018) There are flights from the central train station Hauptbahnhof to the airport every 15 minutes.. There are discounts for online ticket purchases.. Round-trip online ticket price 17 EUR. https://www.airportbus-muenchen.de/en/
Munich urban transport
We used the tram only 3 times during our stay in Munich. When the hotel we chose was in the center, we walked to many places.. Of course, it is necessary to buy tickets for some remote locations.. It is divided into 1-2-3-4 different zones called Munich zone and you need to buy tickets accordingly. In this confusing situation, you may want to buy a valid ticket for the entire duration of the trip, but if you determine the places you are going to, maybe there is no need for this..
For example, while a single ticket valid in zone 1 is 2,90 Euros, the short distance (short type) tickets that you will go to 4 stops in this region are priced as 1,50 Euros.. We went to 13 stops with 4 stop tickets without realizing it, but we realized it later.. Even if there is no problem or control, there is no need to risk it.. (There are even those who get on without buying a ticket) Tickets can also be purchased from automatic machines with your credit card.. Thoughtful officials even thought of Turkish option.
Daily travel tickets are determined as 6.70 Euros for a single person.. In the light of all this information, you can check all ticket price options here: https://www.mvv-muenchen.de

We saw Hallstatt, Salzburg and Munich on our trip that started with Graz.. the day we returned to the country. You can create a similar route, especially you can find THY’s economy tickets to Graz and Salzburg..
We preferred Flixbus buses for transportation from Graz and Salzburg on this trip.. You can find a cheap bus from the surrounding cities to Munich.. For Inquiry: https://tr.flixbus.com/
There are also train services running on the same route, but the prices are seriously at least twice as high..

Munich Breakfast / Meal
Eating and drinking in Munich is not a very difficult activity, but at least it suits your taste. It can be difficult to make a choice without getting into trouble about places to eat without being too foreign.. In the accommodation section, we made a recommendation not to take your hotel with a breakfast option.. As the reason for this, when we saw the breakfast options of the hotels we stayed in, we saw that there was no need for this and that it would be a waste of money..
In Munich, you can easily have your breakfast at bakeries/cafes that you can see in many parts of the city, such as Rischart and Coffee Fellows.. They have nice turkey sandwiches and croissants. On the first day, we made it at the city market Viktualienmarkt in a bakery called Rischart.. You can also find tea in the place, but it is not brewed tea..
On our second day, our breakfast choice was Coffee Fellows.. We paid 14 EUR for our mozzarella, turkey sandwich and teas. It is worth mentioning here that there are many alternative breakfast spots, but we wanted to share how we did it, because we can already have the best breakfast in our country..
Italian Cuisine is one of the dominant restaurant types in Munich as in the rest of Germany.. Germans love pizza like us. As such, it is possible to see pizzeria in many parts of the city.. Our choice was one of them, Grano.. An average pizza is charged at 10 euros.. 2 people were satisfied with a pizza, but it may not be enough if you are very hungry =) Google Location
After all this wandering, it was at the place where we took a small dessert-coffee break. We couldn’t help ourselves without sitting on the small stools and tables in front of the cakes lined up in rows on the shelves of the tiny shop called Ertl.. You can enjoy cake and coffee for 3.50 Euros at Ertl located on the street of the same name of the Catholic church Heiliggeistkirche.. Right next to it, there is the ice cream shop Binis am Viktualienmarkt that crowns your pleasure.
The last place we tasted was pizza La Pizzatta. We especially loved the vegetarian soups, you can choose them with fast service and central location..
We have prepared a google map that shows the locations of the restaurants on the map, which we hope are the most sought-after dining venues in Munich, along with the places listed above.. You can click and be directed to the place you want.. If you would like to contribute to the map, we are waiting for you to add suggestions to the form below.
History of Munich
If you are preparing an article about Munich that will be a guide, we will not be able to take it away from it, and there should be the History of Munich.. The name of Munich derives from the German word Munich, which means the place of intersections.. The priest in the coat of arms of the city of Munich confirms this, while the colors yellow and black are known as the colors of the Holy Roman Empire of Munich.
The founding date of the city is known as 1158.. In this context, it is necessary to mention the Holy Roman Empire, which has an important place in the history of the city. A monarchy state that ruled in this region for 844 years between 962-1806 is actually a set of statelets..
These statelets are Habsburg (Austria-Bohemia-Spain), Hohenzollern (Branderburg-Franken), Wettin (Albrect-Ernst),House of Wittelsbach (Bawyera-Pfalz) and House of Oldenburg (Denmark). The kings of this empire were chosen from a single dynasty: the Habsburgs.. Charlemagne is the first Roman emperor. The last emperor was Franz II, who abdicated during the Napoleonic wars..
After 1806 until 1918, the German State of the Kingdom of Bavaria begins. Maximilian Joseph IV, a member of the House of Wittelsbach, became King of Bavaria in 1806..
The dynasty ruled the Kingdom until World War I in 1918.
The First World War, which started in 1918, changed the face of the region considerably.. The war had many causes.. The unsolved Catholic-Protestant debates and colonial activities in Europe took the business to a whole new level.. Britain’s discovery of oil resources in the Middle East spread the war focus to a wide geography.. The assassination of Austrian heir Ferdinand in 1914 ignited the fuse and Austria declared war on Serbia. Thereupon, Germany supported Austria and declared war on France and Russia.. The results of the 1st World War, which resulted in the defeat of the Allied Powers, also caused the beginning of a new war.. The famous English economist Keynes, in his book The Economic Consequences of Peace, published in 1919, argued that the $5 billion compensation charged to Germany would take the country out of capitalism. >
Hitler wrote in his book My Fight, published in 1925, “The art of leadership consists in focusing the attention of the crowd on a single enemy and ensuring that nothing distracts that attention.” He lit the fuse by saying.. 2nd. Let’s talk a little bit about Hitler, the chief responsible of World War II.. Hitler was a rather unsuccessful individual and failed at anything he tried before his enlistment.. Although, his attempt to enroll in the army was unsuccessful.
Hitler, who joined the army as an infantryman at the beginning of World War I, was rewarded with the Iron Cross medal for his bravery.. I don’t think anyone could have predicted that Adolf Hitler, who was a warmonger in Munich, would become the “Führer” of the future..
1. In Germany, which was defeated at the end of World War II, the emperor abdicated, inflation exploded, armies were demobilized.. Appointed as a police informant in this bad situation, Hitler was tasked with infiltrating the Labor Party and reporting what was going on.. The strange thing is, Hitler came to the fore as an important man of the party when he was an informant.
The little man who was a member of the party noticed a feature that he was not aware of.. Oratory!.
Hitler, who switched from informer to sympathizer, changed the name of the party to National, laying the groundwork for Nazism.. He attempted a coup and failed.. Sentenced to 1 year in prison. During this time, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf.. His philosophy in the book was simple.. “Tearing the Treaty of Versaille, Seizing lands in Eastern Europe and getting rid of the Jewish population“. This book sold countless copies.
Here Keynes’ objection above laid the groundwork for Hitler’s philosophy.
The Nazis, who were seen as a liberation, won the elections in 1932 and started to fulfill their promises.. Germany, which dominated almost all of Europe in the process that started with the annexation of Austria at the beginning, perhaps made the biggest mistake by declaring war against Russia and lost another World War.. The Nazis, who have an important place in the history of Munich, a city where World Wars took place, were very active in this city.. Even today, we wanted to talk about this history briefly while sightseeing tours were held in the beer houses of the German nazis on city tours.
Useful Short Notes from Munich
Let’s share the useful information we got from Munich in the form of short notes.
- We had some trouble finding water in Munich. Generally, there are carbonated aromatic waters in the markets.. To find a normal water, choose green capped ohne or still waters..
- When you shop at the markets, you usually pay a fee for plastic-packaged products, just like we do for bags.. You can get the 0,25 Euro fee, which you bring as a return to the markets, at the recycling machines in the market.. Do not throw away your receipt, especially in markets like Müller.. It gives a “rebaat” discount coupon of more than 5% on each product that you can use in your next shopping..
- You can buy train and tram tickets from automatic machines. Machines have Turkish option. The shortest distance is up to 4 stops and 1.50 Euros. Other information is in the transportation section above.
- City Center Marienplatz. Another main hub is the central train station Hauptbahnhof.. The most visited times of the city are the world-famous festival Octoberfest.. The festival, which is started on the last Saturday of September by famous beer brands with carnival-like bands marching on the streets of the city, is the busiest and most preferred period of Munich.. Celebrated in the area called Theresienwiese, the festival is like a carnival with participants wearing Bawyera costumes..
- We recommend that you spend at least 2 nights and 3 days in Munich. That much time will be enough for you to see many things.. If you want to see places outside the city, you will have to extend this period..
- The best months to visit Munich are from April to October. Since the months outside these dates are usually cold, it is a bit troublesome to travel.. Of course, if you have a trip to the Christmas markets, this advice will be out of the question.. But for those who are still wondering, let’s share the following information: Munich Weather
The answer to the question of what to do in Munich after all this information To visit in Munich will end with places. You can continue reading by clicking the links below..

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”.

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

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.

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!
