Seoul Travel Guide – Alone in South Korea

Published

on

South Korea, one of the most enjoyable countries you can travel to in Asia, is where you will be overwhelmed by cultural diversity; It offers a completely different journey with streets full of neon signs, interesting local delicacies, stores offering endless shopping options, K-Pop music, beauty and aesthetics.. I’m telling you South Korea that I traveled alone with my Seoul Travel Guide!

I chose this route with a very sudden decision and bought my ticket two weeks later.. I was ready to travel South Korea alone, exploring Seoul and Busan for 10 days. I was incredibly excited to be teleported to a completely different culture.. Since I had visited Japan before, I was sure I would love it as I knew it had similar features.. But to be honest, I wasn’t expecting that much.. You were so beautiful, South Korea!

Before we start, don’t forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel to accompany all my trips and travel with me! You will find my Busan and Seoul Travel Vlogs section by section on the channel.

InstagramContact me on my account, let’s talk about all travel topics 🙂

Seoul Shopping – Click for my Korean Cosmetic Brand Recommendations and DMZ Zone – North Korea and South Korea Border. In my article about the DMZ, I explained a lot why South Korea loves the Turks and the role we played in the Korean War.. Those who are curious about our historical background should not skip this article.

When to Go to Seoul?

Considering that the summer months get monsoons and the winters are harsh It is best to plan this trip in the spring months. But if you’ve created your route all of a sudden like me and you’re in the mind of “rain or mud doesn’t matter, I can travel in any way”, don’t worry too much.. As someone who has made this trip at the end of August, I can say that I only traveled for 1 day with light rain, and the heat did not tire out unbelievably.. It’s a bit of luck. That’s why I’m glad I didn’t go for the summer.

South Korea Travel Plan – How Many Days to Visit Seoul?

Most people combine a trip to Japan with South Korea and bypassing the south coast city of Busan, only taking around 2 days to Seoul. I don’t think it’s enough at all to get a taste of South Korea. For this reason, if you have the opportunity, plan this trip for at least 1 week..

I flew to Seoul on my 10-day South Korea trip.

  • Stayed in Seoul for 5 nights and then moved on to
  • Busan where I stayed for 3 nights.
  • Since my return flight is from Seoul, I stayed in Seoul for 1 more night and said goodbye to South Korea.

If you want to visit another city in South Korea, this one might be Gyeongju, which is famous for its history.

Japan Travel Guide By the way, do not forget that Turks do not require a visa in Japan and South Korea. thanks they love us. Let’s take advantage of this love as there are destinations to buy and go to by plane ticket!

Seoul Transportation – How to Get to Seoul?

Like Turkish Airlines or Korean Air You can reach Seoul in 10 hours by direct flight from Istanbul via companies. If you want more affordable flight tickets, consider connecting flights..

I flew from Dubai, the city where I live, via China to Seoul via China Eastern.. China does not require a transit visa for up to 24 hours, but they may ask some questions at the entrance and exit, be prepared.

Transportation from Seoul Incheon Airport to the City

Convenient throughout your South Korea trip If you want to have comfortable internet use, the first thing you do when you land at the airport is to get a Wifi pocket like me.. I rented it from the stand KT Olleh and delivered it on my return. I paid 55.000 Won, i.e. 260 TL for 10 days. By the way, the internet in South Korea is incredibly developed, you can find quality internet in most places, but this is much more comfortable.. I benefited a lot especially when finding directions.. And of course, you know I’m drowning you in stories on Instagram while traveling! Internet is a must.

To reach Seoul Station, which is considered the center of the airport; There is a non-stop express train and an all stop train option.. I used All Stop Train which took a little longer because the price was more affordable and I reached Myeongdong for 4275 Won. On the way to the airport for my return flight, I paid 9000 Won one way using the buses that pass as limo bus since it was late at night.. It was around 2:00 am here.. That’s why I think it’s still a reasonable number for a transportation in that hour.

Note: South Korean currency Won. Bring dollars with you and only exchange a small portion at the airport to cover your travel expenses. As you know, the airport is always at a lower rate.. I cashed as much as I needed at the bank downtown.. Other than that, my general attitude is to save miles by spending my credit card, even if I buy gum everywhere.

Seoul City Transportation – Seoul Subway System

Seoul’s incredible location There is a subway network! UNBELIEVABLE! I suggest you download the Maps.me application and mark the places you are going to go on the map before your trip, for your peace of mind about urban transportation.. And if you download the Seoul Subway application, your job will be very easy about which stop you will get on and off at.

I think the most logical option is to buy a one-way ticket to board the subways during your Seoul sightseeing adventure.. You enter the destination to the machines and usually buy a ticket for 1850 Won.. When you put the ticket in the return machines at the stop you got off, you get 500 Won refunded. DON’T FORGET TO RETURN! Same Marmaray logic. Which is not in Busan, only in Seoul.. Those who want to walk less and go everywhere by public transport can also consider buying daily tickets.

You can buy tickets with cash on the buses and use them for transportation, but I only used the subway in Seoul.. For example, Busan was more of a bus city.. I never needed a taxi either.. Anyway, I don’t have eyes to take a taxi on my trips, am I crazy, let me scatter the money.

How to Get from Seoul to Busan?

Seoul, the capital of South Korea You have 2 basic options to reach the coastal city of Busan from. The first of these is the bus, which is the more affordable route I also use.. I think the bus departs every half hour for this road which takes between 4.5 and 5 hours.. Getting to Seoul Bus Station by subway, you can buy a direct ticket for the first time. I went by paying 36.000 Won with a more luxurious bus.. On the way back, I paid 24.200 Won, but the bus was older.. So ticket prices are not standard for every trip.

Your other option is to use the faster but more costly KTX trains.. If you have little time, this route makes more sense because this road takes 2-3 hours.. You can check the current prices here.

By the way, my Seoul travel stories were very enjoyable, but I’m glad I went to Busan and I have no regrets.

Where to Stay in Seoul? Seoul Hotel Recommendation

Myeongdong, the place where you can feel the Korean spirit the most in Seoul. This is exactly why I stayed in this region.. Very satisfied with my first hotel Staz Hotel Myeongdong 2. I had a small room but it was enough. I paid 435,898 Won, ie 2050 TL, for 5 nights here.

My second experience was THE CAPSULE Myeongdong, where I stayed for 1 night on my way back from Busan.. I wanted to experience the capsule hotel experience in Japan, but I couldn’t because I was traveling with Umur.. When I was alone on this trip, I tried it right away and I shot a video to tell you.. I paid 18,792 Won, or 85 TL, for 1 night here.

There are many options for accommodation in Seoul.. From luxury hotels to guesthouses and hostels, there is a wide range of places to suit every budget.. Hongik University area is among the areas where you can stay in Hongdae or Itawon. For Myeongdong, you can search for options in Jongno

Is Seoul Expensive? How are the Prices? South Korea Trip Cost

You can find all my expenses for 10 days, item by item, below.. There are 7 Eleven markets everywhere. I always bought my water, local drinks and snacks for the best prices from here.. Excluding my personal purchases, I spent 1470 USD for everything, including traveling and eating.

  • Flight: 625 USD
  • Accommodation: 9 nights total 496 USD
  • Internet: 46 USD
  • Transportation: 38 USD – All subway , bus, airport transportation
  • Transportation Seoul Busan round trip bus: 50 USD
  • Food and Drink: 175 USD
  • DMZ Tour: $40

South Korean Foods You Might Want to Try

True Korean Food they have many different flavors. Sometimes there is such a smell of food in the streets that there were times when I was full and stuffed with it.. However, I leave you with what you might want to try.. Maybe you can consult with Uncle Google and choose the one that suits you best.

Kal-guksu (meal with vegetables and broth), Mandu (meat dough), Patbingsu (ice dessert), Tteokbokki (rice cake), Samgyeopsal (grilled pork knuckle) are the best-known Korean delicacies. If you want a safer and less flavor-free meal, don’t leave without trying the famous Korean barbecue. Of course, it is a must to eat accompanied by kimchi. Dog meat is also eaten in Korea, so when you see gaegogi turn around and go.

Soju (their local drink is delicious, especially grapefruit) and Makgeolli (rice wine) is also a Korean drink to accompany your meals.. I’m Sojucu!

THINGS TO WATCH IN SEUL

If you travel the following route in my Seoul Travel Guide in order, you won’t have any difficulty.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)

The halay head itself in Seoul’s coolest buildings. You spend a whole day in this space shuttle shaped building and you don’t understand how time has flown.. In this plaza, you can lose yourself in the design markets and run from special events to art centers.

Ihwa Mural Village

A place full of murals. Are you ready to visit the village? Accompanied by bird sounds. There is a work of art on every wall you turn your eyes to. Seriously get lost in the streets. But watch out! You have to be quiet in this village because the locals are fed up with the noise of disrespectful tourists.. They even started to remove some of the murals because of this.

Bongeunsa Temple

This beautiful temple located in Gangham district is learning Buddhism offers a special program to participants who want to. It’s definitely calming. Witnessing the way people worship gives you goosebumps with a different feeling.

Coex Mall – Starfield Library

The Gangham district is home to the famous Gangham Statue. There is one of the most beautiful libraries in the world in the shopping center Coex Mall. So beautiful, so wonderful! Go up the stairs and watch people from any position right, left, center. Seriously, how do they get those top books from their place?

Apgujeong-ro 12-gil

One of the most beautiful streets to shop before saying goodbye to Gangham I enjoyed Apgujeong-ro 12 which is. You can find most of the brands I mentioned in my shopping guide on this street.. I think it looks like our Bagdat Street. Girls, your first target is Gangham, NEXT!

Gyeongbokgung Palace

There are very important and famous palaces in South Korea. Chief among these is Gyeongbokgung. When you reach the street from the 4th exit of the subway, there are shops where you can rent Hanbok, the traditional clothes of Koreans.. You can be an incredibly grateful Korean with these costumes. Moreover, while there is normally an entrance fee to the palace, you do not pay any fee when you go to the palace with these clothes.

While visiting the palaces, one feels as if one has time traveled or been teleported to a completely different universe.. Make sure to visit this palace where the Juson kingdom lived and don’t miss the change of the guard of the soldiers.

Bukchon Hanok Village

This is a location where you can wander the streets like Kaleiçi to visit traditional Korean houses and want to take lots of roof photos. There are plenty of cafes and shops for eating and drinking.. That’s why you can have a great time.

Changdeokgung Palace

Come on, the second most important palace in Korea Changdeokgung. In the meantime, both palaces were destroyed and rebuilt in the attacks of the Japanese in time, but it is not clear at all.. How is that restoration? Normally, there is an entrance fee for both palaces, but I did not pay for both as I coincided with the National Day.. The garden of this palace called Secret Garden is very famous.

Myeong-dong

Shopping paradise! You are full of energy with neon signs. Street food everywhere. You will feel that you are in Korea to your bones. Since I have stayed in this region, I have visited many times, I’m glad I made such a choice.

There is definitely a Korean market here. Enter and feel like you are shopping at the supermarket for the first time in your life.. It is incredibly enjoyable to wander around without knowing any product.. For example, try green Kitkat! Let’s see if you will like this chocolate?

Itawon

Original Pancake House, which is considered one of the best breakfast places in Korea I drowned myself in calories at the venue and started the day splendidly.. While walking the streets, I saw a Turkish bakery and a Turkish restaurant.. Based on this, I think the Itawon region is much more international. It is possible to find something for the taste of every nation.. These eyes have seen the olive tree trench!

National Palace Museum of Korea

I wonder if it could be one of the most beautiful museums in the world? On the benches set up around the lake, I was entertained by the crickets and watched the colorful fish, the sweet owners of the lake.. Very photogenic place, bamboo trees at the entrance of the museum are also peaceful.

Hongdae

My second favorite area in Seoul ! Each exit of the Hongik Univercity metro has a different beauty. Streets with neon signs, streets colored by university life and young population. Stores where you can find incredible designer products at affordable prices. You should definitely come to this region for shopping.

As in Japan, South Korea also has INTERESTING CONCEPT CAFE. Almost all of them are stationed in this region.. Thanks Nature Cafe where you can see sheep, Racoon Cafe where you can see a lot of raccoons, or cat and dog cafes, Poop Cafe, where everything looks like excrement, with a caravan inside Cafe Hoho Myoll, Hello Kity Cafe and 2D Cafe 239-20 that everyone loves when I post photos on Instagram. I can’t afford to go to cafes with animals, but I went to Myoll and 2D, they were very nice. That’s why I recommend you to visit these the most.

Ouzo’s Birthplace Plomari, Mytilene

Published

on

By

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

Published

on

By

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!

Published

on

By

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 !

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.

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
