Inclusions

Itinerary

1. A place where you can feel the spirit of the old Hanseatic League.

   15 min

2. One of the defining symbols of Gdańsk and represents what little is left of the city’s great trading age.

   10 min

3. Granary Island used to be the centre of Gdańsk trade for centuries and a major source of the city’s historic wealth. By 1643, there were 315 granaries on the island capable of storing up to 250,000 tons of grain and servicing over 200 ships, which helped make Gdańsk the largest harbour on the Baltic and one of Europe’s richest cities. Granary Island is being brought back into public use, thanks to a series of huge construction projects.

4. Opened in June 2017, the footbridge connects the main town near to the Hilton hotel with the Ołowianka

   5 min

5. Ołowianka Island gets its name from the Polish word 'Ołów' (English: Lead) due to the fact that lead metals, sailed upriver from Silesia, were stored on the Island in the Teutonic era. Centuries later, these warehouses were used as granaries, examples of which you see beside The Philharmonic Hall and also The Royal Granary.

   10 min

7. A shadowy gothic gate with the most beautiful street in Gdańsk behind it.

   5 min

8. This magnificent four-arched gatehouse on the waterfront was built as a palace for Polish monarchs. No Polish king ever stayed in the building, but Lech Wałęsa had his office here before moving to the European Solidarity Centre.

   5 min

9. Cow Gate is set on the Motława end of ul. Ogarna. The name probably comes from the road along which the cattle were driven.

   5 min

10. Gdańsk was surrounded by a bastion fort and a stone lock was built in Motława, which could be used to flood the surroundings of the city. We will see what's left.

About Gdańsk

Gdańsk is a Baltic port in northern Poland with a rebuilt Hanseatic old town, amber shops, a medieval crane and the shipyard where Solidarity began.

Gdańsk grew rich on the Baltic grain and timber trade, and its Main Town was rebuilt after the damage of the Second World War in the style of earlier centuries. The Long Market is the centre, with Neptune's Fountain and the Artus Court, and the gates at either end open onto the Motława River. St Mary's Church, one of the largest brick churches in the world, rises above the narrow houses.
