Gdansk - Poland!
Sitting right on a bay on the Baltic Sea, the ancient city of Gdansk is home to Poland's main seaport. Most of the old part of the city — known as the Royal Route — dates back to the 17th century and is beautifully preserved. Some of the main structures here include the City Gates, the Prison Tower, and a number of merchant houses.
Gdansk is also home to the world's largest brick church, St. Mary's, as well as the star-shaped Wisloujscie Fortress and the Gdansk Nowy Port Lighthouse.
Although Gdansk wasn't directly affected by the war, its Museum of the Second World War is one of the best historical museums in the country. It features a number of vehicles — including a Polish Sherman tank and a German DKW motorcycle — as well as artifacts, documents, and photos connected to the war and the Holocaust.
