3 Day Itinerary

Day 1.

Arrive Gdansk. Our weekend in Gdansk starts as we check in at our hotel, anytime after mid-day. Once settled in, the rest of the first day and evening is then left free to explore. Said by some to be amongst the finest cities of Northern Europe, the city was for a long time the wealthiest in Poland. The Second World War – which is said to have started here – brought wholesale destruction, but the city has been lovingly restored and is today a reminder of how history first shaped it. Most of the areas of interest are in the city centre, which is easily explored on foot; head for Dlugi Targ, the square with colourful buildings on all sides, and just wander from there. Close by are a myriad of cafes, bars and good restaurants. After dinner the Old Town comes alive until the early hours of the morning.

Day 2.

In Gdansk: Morning walking tour; afternoon free. After breakfast we join our guide for a private walking tour of the city. We will visit the Monument to Solidarity, part of the city’s story of the shipyard worker who rose to become the Polish President. We walk on then, through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, ending up on the quay by the Moltawa River. After our tour finishes, time to get yourself some lunch before spending the afternoon as you wish. Wandering further amongst the old streets of the city; taking a cruise on an old-style sailing ship to the River mouth; or just relaxing at a pavement cafe and watching the world go by; the choice is yours.

Day 3.

Tour ends. After breakfast our tour ends, and it’s time to head for the airport and the flight home. But if you have arranged a late flight, then there is time for a wander through the Old Town and perhaps a little last-minute shopping, before it’s time to go home.

Day 3.

In Gdansk. Full day visit to Malbork Castle. After breakfast our transport collects us and we head away from the coast on the short drive to one of Poland’s most impressive sights. Malbork Castle was built some 700 years ago by Teutonic Knights who ruled the area for just over 100 years. The Palace of the Grand Master is considered one of the major structures of medieval Europe, whilst the towers and battlements are determinedly imposing. We return to Gdansk in the late afternoon, for our last evening in the Old Town.
