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.
Gdynia
Gdynia is a port city on the Baltic coast of Poland. It’s known for its modernist buildings, including the Museum of the City of Gdynia, which has exhibits about local history. Kościuszki Square, with a distinctive fountain as its center, leads to the waterfront. The WWII destroyer ORP Błyskawica and 1909 tall ship Dar Pomorza, now museums, are moored on the Southern Pier. Sharks and piranhas inhabit Gdynia Aquarium.
Oliwa Cathedral
Oliwa used to be a separate town, now it is part of Gdansk. In the past it was owned by the Cistercian monks. The monks no longer live there, but we can still admire their work. The church is the longest in Poland and is surrounded by old gardens. Oliwa Cathedral was built in the 13th and 14th centuries but the interior from this time has not survived due to the damage caused by various armies and citizens of Gdansk during periods of religious disputes. Inside we can see 23 altars built in the Baroque, Renaissance and Rococo styles. Tourists come to Oliwa Cathedral in Gdansk to listen to magnificent but brief 20-minute organ concerts that run every hour in the summer.
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

08:00

Your tour begins in the heart of the Tricity in the Old Town of Gdansk where you’ll find St Mary’s Basilica. This world-famous historical site is the largest brick-built shrine in the world and an impressive building to behold.  You’ll have time to take a look inside where you’ll find gothic and medieval spectacles including the Gothic Altars, the world’s largest medieval clock, and The Last Judgement, an iconic painting by Hans Memling.

The next stop is Sopot, also known as the “summer capital of Poland”. Sopot attracts holiday-makers and sun-worshippers from across the country, many of whom take time to visit Molo, the longest wooden pier in Europe, which is an amazing 512 meters long.

After a stop to enjoy lunch in a local restaurant, your last tour stop is the awe-inspiring Oliwa Cathedral. This is a stunning building which is world-famous and well worth a visit. Not only is it a beautifully calm and serene environment, but it is also home to a suite of church organs that will be played for you as part of your tour. Enjoying wonderful music in such magnificent surroundings is the perfect end to a perfect day of new experiences.
