Venue

Gdansk - the thousand-year-old, beautiful port on the Baltic Sea has a gentle climate and beautiful beaches. In its golden age, this "Pearl of the North" enjoyed the unique status of a municipal republic. It was a melting pot of cultures and ethnical groups. The air of tolerance and the wealth built on trade made culture, science, and art flourish. A famous seaside resort Sopot is nearby. The exclusive architecture of the Old Town, including the largest brick Gothic church in the world, and a dozen gates including the historic Crane Gate (XIV century) situated on the Motlawa River, is undoubtedly worth exploring. No visitor to Gdansk will be able to resist its charm. When visiting the charming and truly unique Mariacka Street you will be amused by the beauty of the amber on sale. To buy a piece of amber from Gdansk is a must! We look forward to welcoming you in Gdansk!
