Keys to Europe's unsung cities: skip the crowds in these amazing destinations
Paris has the Champs-Elysees, New York has Fifth Avenue. Gdansk has the Long Mile, a simply spectacular collection of ornate centuries-old buildings such as the Artus Court and the grand Neptune Fountain. The splendour of the Long Mile is a reminder that this Polish port city was once one of the richest in Europe, and you will find yourself walking along it over and over again, in between visiting other sights such as the glorious town hall, the charming Mariacka Street, the Museum of the Second World War and the world's largest brick church.
