“Crane review”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Went to see the crane when in Gdansk and was very impressed, what made it more enjoyable was the good weather when we were there so a lonely picturesque picture reflected up from the river. Had a lovely dinner in the restaurant just down from the crane as well.

This is a very large building on the riverfront.It is very tall with an unusual bulbous shape right next to the maritime museum.Best viewed from the river.
