warm with temperature between 19- to even

free day. Children have got religion classes at
school too. In Poland there are a lot of Holy

Culture and Science ( the highest building on the right),

6. Kraków is one of the largest cities in the country. It is located in southern Poland, in
Malopolska province. It is located on the Vistula River in the Cracow Gate,
Carpathian Plateau and the Nida Basin. Krakow was the official capital of the Polish
until 1795. It has a very rich history, which can not be so simply described. Krakow
offers us hundreds of fantastic monuments both secular and religious; most
popular of them are, of course, Wawel Castle, Wawel Cathedral, Main Square,
Cloth Hall, St. Mary's Church, but also many others. It’s really difficult to find any
other places, such as Cracow around the world .
7. • Gdańsk is situated on the Bay of Gdańsk and in the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. It is one
of the most magical places in which I have ever been . Gdańsk is a thousand years old city
with a population approximately half a million.
It features fascinating examples of urban architect styles, which catches almost everyone's
eye. There are a lot of monuments and historic buildings, that tourists from all over the world
can admire. The most famous buildings are (the Town Hall, the Mill and the Old Town)
Gdańsk has also developed a good infrastructure for the tourists. The city offers for us
comfortable hotels, elegant restaurant and cosy cafes. In the city centre there are located a
lot of shops, where tourists have a chance to buy souvenirs. The most famous souvenirs from
Gdańsk are products made from amber (especially unique, manually crafted jewellery).
Gdańsk is well-known from international fairs, which attract guests from the whole of the
world. Moreover the shipyard is a historic symbol of Gdańsk. It is a place where the fight with
communism started. There is also a big harbour, which enables contacts with Scandinavian
counties. The city and its sourandings are a good place for tourists because there are a lot of
opportunies for relaxation. People might walk at the seaside and if the water is warm enough
they can swim. At night young and older people can go out to night clubs and enjoy
themselves until the morning light.
With its characteristic architecture and its unique atmosphere, Gdańsk can undoubtedly be
called attractive for tourists. There is evidence that more tourists from all the corners of the
world are visiting Gdansk and appreciating its beauty.
