Lovely city with many historic buildings. Hard to believe that the city was so badly damaged during the war. The reconstruction is really good. Uphagen House is worth seeing though if you visit theAmber Museum note that you have no choice but to exit through the Torture museum. Not for the faint hearted! Sopot is good for a day trip and has the distinction of having the longest wooden pier in Europe. Some very good shops and restaurants also. To get there by train go from Gdansk Glowny but be warned there are not a lot of signs about which platform to use. Trams are also a cheap and easy way to get around but the old town is best accessed on foot.
