📍Westerplatte, Gdansk, Poland 

During my visit to Gdansk I travelled to Westerplatte with my friends. This is the site of the first shots fired in the Second World War on 1st September 1939. I have visited so many museums with war exhibits but there's something totally surreal about visiting a place with such a sad place in history. 😔🧡

There's so much information in the area about the Nazi invasion, not just of Westerplatte but of Gdansk too. There are photos and plaques showing many key moments from the start to the end of the occupation. There's also a huge Westerplatte museum building to visit however we visited late in the day so didn't get chance to visit inside. 🇵🇱

It is free to visit the monument and grounds at Westerplatte and you can visit by a number of methods however it is a bit more limited "out of season". I'd recommend taking one of the boat trips from Gdansk Old Town to Westerplatte and then returning the same way, for the most enjoyable experience. Alternatively there are a couple of buses that run there but at the time we visited the scheduling was really inconvenient. The quickest way is by car, so if the boat isn't running and the buses are causing you scheduling headaches, arrange a taxi or catch a lift with a generous local plushie 🤭

📍Berwick-upon-Tweed | March 2026

After a fab time in Edinburgh in January we wanted to plan in another visit but wanted to change it up a bit. Instead of staying in Edinburgh again so soon after, we instead stayed just south of the Scottish borders in Berwick-upon-Tweed (formerly a Scottish town, now English). We were so fortunate to have some beautiful weather for this trip although it did get quite chilly on an evening. ☀️🥶

We travelled up to Berwick on a Friday evening, giving us the whole of Saturday to explore. To save ourselves more travelling we decided on staying in Berwick on the Saturday, delaying our day trip to Edinburgh to the Sunday. We had a lovely mooch around Berwick, exploring the town, visiting the shops, walking around the walls, grabbing a Greggs (we're not that far from Newcastle 🤣) and enjoyed spending time on the waterfront looking out over the North Sea! Later on in the day we had a stroll over to the beach at Spittall which had a beautiful view of Berwick back across the water. There was also a man in the water jumping off a step ladder trying to balance on a board of some sort in the water. I thought it best that I left him to it instead of showing him how it's done... 😅

Berwick was fantastic. It's a charming town and was a very relaxing stay. I had a wonderful time. ☺️ 🧡

🇵🇱 Gdynia | March 2026

I visited Gdynia for the first time during my most recent trip to Poland. It's located within the tri-city area with Sopot and Gdansk, where we were staying. I'll be honest, it's the least glamorous of the three but I'm still so glad that I got to visit. 🧡🇵🇱 

Gdynia is seen as being very modern due to the building of the city post-war. This is becomes clear when you look at the layout of the city, with everything being built around cars vs older cities which have adapted to cars over time. As a result the city feels really spacious and very easy to navigate. 🚘

We spent most of our time by the waterfront admiring the view, the massive boats and warships that had docked and the beautiful beach. We also headed up to the top of a hill to a viewpoint recommended to our local friend @gdanek_the_lion although should perhaps have caught the cliffside lift up to the top rather than walking... I was all walked out after a busy few days exploring Gdańsk and Sopot so should've done myself a favour. Don't make my mistakes, take the lift! It's also very cool! 😂⛰️🚠

🌞🦭 Sun, sea and Sopot ☀️🇵🇱

Only a short train ride from Gdańsk is the beautiful city of Sopot. It's absolutely glorious soaking up the sunshine on the beach, taking a stroll down the pier and looking out over the Baltic Sea. I had fab time with my friends at the seaside in Sopot! 😎🧡
