Gdańsk in February
February in Gdańsk offers a starkly beautiful, often frost-kissed introduction to Poland’s Baltic coast. The city’s historic heart, particularly around Długi Targ and Mariacka Street, is dramatically quiet, allowing for an intimate exploration of its Hanseatic architecture without the summer crowds.
