🇵🇱🌞 Gdańsk, Poland

Gdańsk in summer feels like a postcard you can step into. ✨ Wandering down Dlugi Targ feels almost unreal, pastel facades 🏘️, the Neptune Fountain 💦 glimmering under the sun, and violins 🎻 floating through the air. We grabbed ice cream 🍦 and walked slowly, the cobblestones clicking gently under our steps. Everything sparkled, but not in a loud way more like the city just naturally shines. One of my favorite moments was on Mariacka Street 🕰️. It’s tucked just off the main drag, but it feels like stepping into another century. Amber jewelry glowing in window displays 🧡, old lanterns, little stone staircases. We found a quiet café ☕, ordered strong coffee and a slice of poppyseed cake, and just sat watching people pass slowly, everyone caught in the same easy rhythm. The St. Mary’s Church bells 🔔 rang out above us and the whole street just paused for a second. And then there’s Brzeźno Beach 🏖️. Wide, soft sand, and the Baltic wind playing with your hair 🌬️. Kids ran into the cold water screaming with laughter 👣, while seagulls squawked above. We had crispy fried fish and fries 🐟🍟 from a seaside shack and ate on a bench with our toes in the sand. The sun didn’t set until late a long, slow golden hour 🌅 that stretched over the whole shoreline. Gdańsk isn’t flashy but it stays with you, like a song you hum without thinking. #summervacay #travel #thingstodo
