Highlights

Gdansk
Like a ministate all to itself, Gdańsk has a unique feel that sets it apart from other cities in Poland. Centuries of maritime ebb and flow as a major Baltic port; streets of distinctively un-Polish architecture influenced by a united nations of wealthy merchants who shaped the city’s past; the toing and froing of Danzig/Gdańsk between Teutonic Prussia and Slavic Poland; and the destruction wrought by WWII have all bequeathed a special atmosphere that makes Gdańsk an increasingly popular destination.
Gdansk Old Town
When visiting Gdansk, you may feel that you are carried back to the Middle Ages, and even though substantial parts of the town consist of reconstructions from after WWII, you will still find plenty of authentic, genuine old buildings. Most streets are located where they were in medieval times, and more than 30% of the streets have had the same names for more than 500 years. The old town is one of Europe’s largest historical centres, and the medieval centre is around twice the size of the corresponding centre in Krakow.
Gdansk Shipyard
Gdańsk Shipyard is a large Polish shipyard, located in the city of Gdańsk. The yard gained international fame when Solidarity was founded there in September 1980. It is situated on the left side of Martwa Wisła and on Ostrów Island.

Itinerary

09:00

Your tour guide will show you points of interest, including the Gdańsk shipyard. The Gdańsk shipyard also holds its place in the history books as the location where communism started its long and gradual final act. You’ll also visit Solidarity Square and have the opportunity to take a look at the “European Solidarity Centre” exhibition. Here you’ll find out lots of fascinating background information on the Solidarity movement, a big part of Gdańsk history.

No tour of the area would be complete without a walk in the Old Town.  Your guide will take you on a stroll along the main street – Ulica Dluga – where you can see how the buildings have been inspired by an eclectic mix of nationalities and cultures.  From brick churches and gothic gates to striking historical monuments – see if you can spot Jewish, Dutch, Italian, and German influences. Whatever you discover, you can be sure to enjoy the sense of both past and present on this tour.
