Nuernberg Hbf

NürnbergHauptbahnhof/ Hbf is a huge railway station, and like many large train stations, they may initially be confusing for first time users.

The gleis/platform where the train arrives/departs is located on the upper level, and the station building is also multi-level. However, the upper level (gallery) of the station cannot enter the train.

The train passage is located on the street at the bottom of the station building. There are three channels below the track that provide access to the platform. The three passages are named (i) Eastern Tunnel, (ii) Mittel Tunnel and (iii) West Tunnel, but these names are not used for station signs. If you have luggage, etc., only the West Tunnel has lifts, and the trains entering and leaving the other passages are through the stairs. Arriving by train: When arriving by train, you do not have to use the stairs, but the elevator is located at the far end of the platform/canyon - in the F zone. The lift takes you to the west side channel, at the end you can turn to the right to enter the central part of the station, where the main exit is located. Once you are in the atrium of the station, you will find the lower level of the station building with the left baggage facility and U-Bahn access. There are two sets of escalators that can reach this lower level. The second group of esclators, the passage to the city centre (marked 'zugang') before the main street exit - use this passage to avoid having to cross the maze outside the station. From this channel you can reach the Nurnberg ZOB bus stop, which is the departure point for the IC bus to Praha / Prag (and other). Departure by train: When leaving by train, the central hall of the station leads to the middle passage, which is located under the main departure screen, but if you have luggage and want to use the lift, please do not take this road. The West Tunnel with the lift is located on the right side, at the other end of the Burger King in the main atrium, which runs through the length of the station building - next to the platform/canyon.

Gdańsk (, also US: , Polish: [ɡdaj̃sk] ; Kashubian: Gduńsk; German: Danzig [ˈdantsɪç] ) is a city on the Baltic coast of northern Poland. With a population of 466,631, Gdańsk is the capital and largest city of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and one of the most prominent cities within the cultural and geographical region of Kashubia. It is Poland's principal seaport and the centre of the country's fourth-largest metropolitan area.The city is situated on the southern edge of Gdańsk Bay on the Baltic Sea, in a conurbation with the city of Gdynia, spa town of Sopot, and suburban communities; these form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto), with a population approaching 1.4 million. Gdańsk lies at the mouth of the Motława River, connected to the Leniwka, a branch in the delta of the nearby Vistula River, which drains 60 percent of Poland and connects Gdańsk with the Polish capital, Warsaw. Together with the nearby port of Gdynia, Gdańsk is also a notable industrial center. The city's history is complex, with periods of Polish, Prussian and German rule, and periods of autonomy or self-rule as a free city state. In the early-modern age Gdańsk was a royal city of Poland. It was considered the wealthiest and the largest city of Poland, prior to the 18th century rapid growth of Warsaw. In the late Middle Ages it was an important seaport and shipbuilding town and, in the 14th and 15th centuries, a member of the Hanseatic League. In the interwar period, owing to its multi-ethnic make-up and history, Gdańsk lay in a disputed region between Poland and Germany, which became known as the Polish Corridor. The city's ambiguous political status was exploited, furthering tension between the two countries, which would ultimately culminate in the Invasion of Poland and the first clash of the Second World War just outside the city limits, followed by the flight and expulsion of the majority of the previous population in 1945. In the 1980s it would become the birthplace of the Solidarity movement, which played a major role in bringing an end to Communist rule in Poland and helped precipitate the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Gdańsk is home to the University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk University of Technology, the National Museum, the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre, the Museum of the Second World War, Polish Baltic Philharmonic and the European Solidarity Centre. The city also hosts St. Dominic's Fair, which dates back to 1260, and is regarded as one of the biggest trade and cultural events in Europe. Gdańsk has also topped rankings for the quality of life, safety and living standards worldwide.
