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.
Sopot
Sopot is a town on the Baltic Sea in northern Poland. Along with neighboring cities Gdynia and Gdańsk, it forms the so-called Tri-City metropolitan area. Sopot is known for its healthy spas, sandy beach and its long wooden pier that extends into the Bay of Gdańsk. The Crooked House is a surreal building modeled on fairy-tale illustrations. It's on Sopot’s pedestrianized main street, Monciak, also called Monte Cassino.
St Mary Basilica
For several long centuries the largest Lutheran church in the world was St. Mary’s Church in Gdansk – an enormous structure built from brick in Gothic style. The interior vault supports 37 windows, over 300 tombstones and 31 chapels. It can hold up to 25,000 people, which was useful during the period of martial law between 1981 and 1983 when members of the Solidarity movement sought refuge here. Of note is the enormous astronomical clock dating from 1464. Its complex dials show the time and date, phases of the moon, the position of the moon and sun in relation to the zodiac signs, and the calendar of saints. According to legend, the clock's creator had his eyes gouged out so he'd never make a clock to better than this one. The 78-metre tower, which involves climbing 405 steps, houses a viewing platform with cracking views of Gdańsk Old Town.

Itinerary

10:00

In keeping with the holiday feeling, you’ll begin your day with a visit to the fashionable Polish resort of Sopot. This seaside town is enduringly popular with Polish holiday-makers and is also starting to attract more visitors from other parts of Europe and beyond. Sopot gives you an insight into the fun-loving and outdoor side of Poland – in fact, that’s why it is also known as the “summer capital”

The highlights of your visit to Sopot will be a stroll along the famous Monte Casino promenade.  Here you’ll discover Molo.  At an amazing 1700 feet long, Molo is the longest wooden pier in Europe and an important part of national history.

 From here, you’ll make your way to the very heart of Gdańsk – the Old Town. You’ll find much to see and do here – perhaps too much to fit into one day in fact.  There are plenty of famous and interesting places to visit in the Old Town, but a real ‘must’ is St Mary’s Street. Many people claim this is the most beautiful street in the whole of Europe – so you’ll need to take a look and decide for yourself. As you continue along St Mary’s Street, you’ll arrive at St Mary’s Basilica.  This world-famous historical site is the largest brick-built shrine in the world. Take a look inside for a feast of gothic and medieval spectacles including alters, the world’s largest medieval clock, and The Last Judgement, a painting by Hans Memling.

In between taking time out to sample the delicious food and drink available (not included), there are a whole host of hotspots to attract your attention including the Town Hall, Long Market, Neptune Fountain, Artus Court, and The Golden House. You’ll have to hurry to fit it all in!
