Gdansk is located near the Baltic Sea, at the mouth of the Vistula River. The city has a temperate climate with winter temperatures often dropping -15°C in January and February and reaching 20-25°C during summer months. The climate is maritime and therefore the weather is often changeable, with rapid temperature fluctuations.
Being a port city, it concentrates on related activities and industries, such as shipbuilding and shipping. Gdansk has carried its unbelievable charm and beauty through the many disasters it was confronted with over its history. The city got caught in the fire of World War II in 1939. It was here that Hitler got around his crazy plans to conquer Europe and the rest of the world. Later, after the Yalta Agreement was signed, it fell into the rule of another totalitarian regime for several decades.
