Gdansk outskirts
In the outskirts of Gdansk you will mostly find monotonous highrise areas filled with dull commie blocks, shopping malls and some villas. Even though the city center is flat, you will immediatly discover several very hilly areas, when going to the airport by bus. Once you leave the city, you will also discover that it is much much larger then it appears in its very compact historical city center.
