Grupa Tonyego


Our journey in Gdansk started when the teachers told us that we will play a little game. They splitted us in small groups and they gave us a maps and a list of places we have to visit. It was something like a competition and we had to be quick and to use the map properly. It was very funny and interesting. Here are the places we visited.


GREEN GATE Our journey started at the Golden Gate. It was the first place we had to visit. It’s a bridge on the Motlawa river.


NEPTUNE’S FOUNTAIN The Neptune’s fountain is a well known symbol of the city of Gdansk. It was during moderating but this didn’t stop us to take a picture.


KING ARTHUR’S HOUSE Arthur court was the house of wealthy craftsmen and merchants and was built in XIV century. It isn’t very good picture because someone wanted to ruin it.


DLUGA STREET It’s located between Green Gate and Golden Gate. It’s very beautiful street with many interesting places to visit.


UPHAGENS’S HOUSE Our next stop was the Uphagens’s house and we don’t know ANYTHING about this place. Sorryyy


GOLDEN GATE Oh look this is the same picture we used in the slide with Dluga. The gate was constructed between 1612-1614 by Abraham van den Blocke. This should be enough.


OLD TOWN HALL This is on Korzenna str. It’s built between 1587-95 in the Netherlands style. It is a cultural centre where you can ask for the cultural events in the city


POLISH POST OFFICE MUSEUM The Post Office was a place of Gdansk defenders. There is a monument built for this people, who on 1st September 1939 fought with courage for 14 hours.


GREAT CRANE The Crane – together with a Neptune, is a symbol of the City. It was used to unload ships and was also a tower and city gate.


It was the most interesting thing we did while we were in Poland :P. It wasn’t such a competition because all of the groups were helping each other to found the places and take pictures. It’s improving your skills to communicate with people from other countries and don’t get lost.
