hi everyone,
im going to gdansk at the end of august with some friends. we are looking for a fun, social hostel - not a party hostel, just one with a social atmosphere (like a central meeting area) or a good reputation for this kind of thing. ie id like to go there and meet people to talk to and maybe hang out with. can any of you recommend such a place?
outside of that, whats good to do and see there? im particularly interested in the hanseatic history, but id like to do any 'local' things (eg budapest baths) and eat any local food, drinks etc.

It's Danzig. And any "history" has been wiped out by the subhuman Slavs.

hans, you should really worry about your own cities before anyone elses. we all know youve got a bit of a pest problem there atm
there was that museum behind the main train station.... i will not remember the name, but architecturally it was nice already, and it has a viewpoint thst gives you a 360 view of gdansk, old town and port included.
i enjoyed all restaurants i ran into in gdansk, except that the service was shit on the main street, obviously.
they have a market, but it seemed overpriced, so ended up eating the same foods elsewhere.
they seem to be proud of their sushi, but it's not that great, so i don't get it. cabbage dishes all the way. there is a milk bar close to that ferris weel that might be interesting.
i enjoyed my sopot b&b waay more than gdansk actually. this random family ran b&b between the station and the sea (and hiking routes along the coast), was a great base.
Take a train to Hel (you change in Gdynia, I believe). Spend a couple of hours chatting up Polish QTs. Then take the ferry back. If they still take the same route, you pass by the old dockyards which are pretty majestic.

don't bring your card to the strip club there, they will rob you if they can. also if you get a private dance first thing they'll give you a few more for free because they think you'll keep paying.

Have sex with Poles. They're god tier.
I seen Gdansk, Malbork and Sopot in a day. It's a nice place but nothing much to do really.
