The city lies in a conurbation with the city of Gdynia and spa town of Sopot which together form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto). Gdańsk is Poland's principal seaport. Historically an important seaport and shipbuilding center, Gdańsk was a member of the Hanseatic League.
The city was the birthplace of the Solidarity movement which, under the leadership of Lech Wałęsa, played a major role in bringing an end to Communist rule across Central Europe.
