Venue
We would like to invite you to Gdańsk, a city located at the Bay of Gdansk, at southern shores of the Baltic Sea. Gdańsk is the capital and largest city of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is Poland's principal seaport with famous Shipyard of Gdansk
Gdańsk is a city established over one thousand years ago. It has a complex history, having had periods of Polish, German and self rule. An important shipbuilding and trade port since the Middle Ages, in 1361 it became a member of the Hanseatic League which influenced its economic, demographic and urban landscape. It also served as Poland's principal seaport, and was the largest city of Poland in the 15th - 17th centuries.
The city has some buildings surviving from the time of the Hanseatic League. Most tourist attractions are located along or near Ulica Długa (Long Street) and Długi Targ (Long Market), a pedestrian thoroughfare surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical (primarily during the 17th century) style and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates.
Today Gdańsk is one of the most significant academic centres in the north of Poland. Among almost 500 thousand inhabitants over 80 thousand of them are students.
