Gdansk

Gdańsk, Poland’s maritime capital and a major port city on the Baltic Sea, boasts a rich history of over 1,000 years.

This unique metropolis has always been synonymous with freedom and courage, as reflected in its motto, “Nec temere, nec timide” – which means “neither rashly nor timidly” in English. This timeless maxim offers valuable advice for all of us to live by. Visitors can admire the awe-inspiring Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970 in the heart of Solidarity Square. Three towering crosses, each 42 meters high with anchors attached, pay tribute to the workers who sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom. The adjacent European Solidarity Centre is an interactive museum that showcases the Polish people’s struggle against the communist regime and their eventual triumph over oppression. This inspiring tale of hope and perseverance is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder of our ability to effect change on a global scale.
