Westerplatte

An important place in our history happened here and whilst we continue to live in a world corrupted by insecure and power hungry men and women, this memorial is a reminder that we must learn from history and not repeat those same mistakes again, especially when the cost is other humans. A great monument and informative boards nearby that contain information and photos representing that period of time. Parking was non-existent, but I put that down to a winter visit so maybe they have works planned, but other than that a worthwhile visit.

Worth visiting while you are in Gdansk, jump on the Black Pearl return journey to and from Westerplatte, enjoy food , drinks and live music onboard.

It is one of most iconic places in Poland. The historical story about Polish heroes soldiers and their heroism in Second World War again the Germans has a special place on history pages. However the site is missing a concept, information and explain about the battle. Except the main walkway to the momentum, the rest is partly not under scrutiny, missing sings and info, no information tourist stand, no maps, only few points have some basic information. The museum, which is half kilometer from main site is open only in summer. Too bad and disappointing.

A significant place. The first shots in Europe were fired elsewhere, but World War II began here. To Poland's credit, they were able to reconstruct the actions of all those involved and honor their memory, regardless of their subsequent fates.

Highly significant memorial to Poland and the start of WW2. Partly located in a wooded area, there are a number of things to see and there a number of noticeboards. Where you arrived by bus or car is pretty run down and there is little to do to entice you to stay longer or spend money. There is an hourly bus service back to Gdansk so plan carefully or you will be waiting around.

A powerful and emotionally moving place — definitely worth a visit. Although some areas are currently under maintenance, access to the monument is open and easy. It was not difficult to find, and there is convenient parking nearby. You can also grab a quick bite in the area. While there were quite a few visitors, the space is large and well spread out, so it didn’t feel crowded.

Very important national place so you can learn about the polish history of the 2 world war, some souvenir shops and coffee and snacks as well, many people are coming to visit

A very nice monument. On the coast of the Baltic Sea. A place of great importance for history. Nice to visit in good weather with the family.
