The old town is the most popular but can be noisy. For a quieter experience, look for accommodation near the Motlawa River. The city is generally very safe for tourists. However, be vigilant of pickpockets at tourist-heavy spots like Neptune's Fountain. A common local scam can be overpriced drinks at certain bars, so always check the menu before ordering. Poles are hospitable but appreciate it if you learn a few simple phrases like Dzien dobry.

Polish food is filling and flavorful. You should not miss Pierogi, which are filled dumplings, or the hearty Zurek soup. Gdansk is known for its fresh fish thanks to its proximity to the Baltic Sea.

A tip from TICKETS.SE for the best photos is to go up the tower of St. Mary's Church just before sunset. From there, you get a magical view of the city's rooftops and the cranes at the shipyard. Don't forget to pack comfortable shoes as the cobblestone streets in the old town can be demanding on the feet during long walks.
