Gdansk is an ideal town to visit

Gdansk is an ideal town to visit. It has been one of the most significant cultural centres in Poland for centuries. From the 16th century onwards the city, as a major port and trade centre, has also played an important role as an European culture-creating centre. From its beginning Gdansk has been a specific melting pot of nationalities where different customs, religions and cultures mingle in an atmosphere of tolerance. The citizens` wealth and their admiration for arts were conducive to the development of artistic talents and creation of extraordinary pieces of art.

Numerous cultural establishments in Gdansk such as museums, theatres, musical institutions, art galleries, cinemas, clubs and libraries are responsible for the preservation of artistic tradition and promotion of new achievements in this field.
Historical architecture and pieces of art are Gdansk`s main attractions, because many of them are unique examples on a world-wide scale. Museums are the main institutions to take care of this heritage. The Gdansk City Historical Museum, The National Museum and The Archaeology Museum collects, stores, restores and allows access to cultural treasures in the field of history and art. Here are also placed few theatres, like "Wybrze?e" or "Miniatura" and musical institutions, like State Baltic Philharmonic and Opera House. Another attractions for people who like music are organ concerts at a cathedral in Oliwa and of course St. Dominic Fair, which is held every year in the firs half of August.
From the top of the biggest Gothic brick basilica, (Bazylika Mariacka) , one can enjoy the view of Old Town (Stare Miasto), with an interesting arrangement of town streets which is unique to Gdansk. In Old Town there are also many monuments such as Fontanna Neptuna or —uraw. Near the Baltic Sea there is a shipyard. Maybe it's not a monument or attraction, but it's important for people who live there.
I think, that Gdansk is a very interesting and attractive city as well as for the people who like watching monuments, develop their culture life or have fun.
