Cheap flights from Belgrade to Gdańsk from £40

The annual Christmas fair takes place in the picturesque Old Town of Gdansk. Jolly people choose New Year decorations of local artisans, savour such Polish traditional treats as smoked cheese, bigos, fried sausages, and drink mulled wine or Soplica, the national alcoholic drink. Magic is in the air.

If you wish for something more exhilarating than the traditional rest on sandy beaches, the Gdansk Bay has something to offer you. Consider going to Rewa Cape (Cypel Rewski) or Hel Peninsula (Polwysep Helski) to try kitesurfing and windsurfing. It will take you around 1.5–2 hours to get there by car or by train from Gdansk. Or you can save yourself the trouble and order a tour with transportation from the city.

If you are a street art fan, you should definitely visit Zaspa, one of Gdansk’s quarters. The first murals started to transform this suburb in the late 1990s, and since then, a lot of them were added. As a result, now Zaspa has around 60 large street artworks by local or international artists. Many of them are full of symbolism, and all are quite spectacular. You can take a free street art walking tour not to miss anything.
