Westerplatte

Westerplatte is a peninsula in northern Gdansk which is recognised as the site where World War II began. You can get there on foot or by bus, and it’s free to wander around. Take in the open green space that’s dotted with ruined buildings. Today, its grand stone monument stands as a poignant memorial, honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who fought.
