Programme
Day 1: Arrival
Arrival in Gdansk and meeting with our tour guide. Gdansk was the seat of >>Solidarnosc<<, a trade union that started the protests against the communist regime in the shipyard. Lech Walesa, a docker, was the leader in the underground when Solidarnosc was prohibited. He became head of state in 1990 and was the president of Poland between 1990-1995. Gdansk is the biggest city along Poland’s Baltic sea coast. Together which has Gdynia and Sopot it is called >>Tri-City<< with 750.000 inhabitants. The golden prosperity of Gdansk dates back to the times of its membership in the Hanseatic League. For many years the city was an apple of discord between Poland and Germany, so the history of these two nations is closely interconnected. In a short distance from here, the first bombs of Worl War II were fired. Today Gdansk presents itself splendidly. The Tri-City offers diversified programmes and is well known for its nightlife. The surroundings is very attractive for visitors.
