7 must-see sites in Gdansk
Although much of it was destroyed by war, Gdansk has emerged as one of the most beautiful Baltic cities. Its history of changing between Prussian and Slavic rule has made way for a rich cultural experience for anyone who visits.
Long Market
This is the closest thing to a main square that Gdansk has and is distinguished by its tall, colorful Mannerist buildings.
Neptune Fountain
Located at the center of Long Market, this statue survived World War II. Rumor has it that it once flowed with Goldwasser, the local liqueur. Like the rest of Long Market, the statue has a rather Dutch influence - it was built by Flemish artist Peter Husen.
European Solidarity Center
The Solidarity movement, led by Lech Walesa, sought to bring down the Communist regime. Let this museum educate you about events that would change the face of Europe.
Shakespeare Theater
For a multilingual Shakespeare experience, visit this theater, which has occupied the same site in different forms since the 17th century.
Stutthof Concentration Camp
This was the first Nazi concentration camp built outside Germany. Respectfully reflect on the conditions and events of Stutthof on a guided visit to the grounds and the museum.
Polish Post Office Museum
The theory goes that the post office in Gdansk was a front for the Polish government's intelligence. The museum shows history of the 18th century - from German annexation in 1939, to its present-day use as a post office.
St. Mary's Church
One of Europe's largest buildings constructed in the Brick Gothic style, the unusual flat roof of its tower and the huge black organ against the white walls make it a very imposing church.
Planning Your Gdansk Visit
Weather
Although you should bring summer clothing if you're visiting Gdansk in the summer months, the Baltic chill can be fierce - bring a jacket, especially if you go out in the evenings!
Toilets
In Poland, a circle on the toilet door indicates the ladies', and a downward-facing triangle means the gents'!
Twin cities
Gdynia, 30 minutes westwards, is one of Gdansk's twin cities. It offers a large naval base and a long seashore.
Kaliningrad
Although you're a couple of hours from Russia - Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave resting between Poland and Lithuania and you'll need a pre-approved visa to enter if you're not a citizen.

What people are saying about Gdansk
Gdańsk old and new brought to life by our charismatic guide
Having been to Gdańsk many times before, we were amazed that our tour guide Gabriella was not only able to enhance our knowledge of a truly wonderful part of the world, but also our appreciation, making for an unforgettable experience. We highly this tour and our incredible guide.
Monika was a great guide - we enjoyed the tour with her very much
Our guide knew so much about the city, she organised the visit in the best way, we saw the most important sights and got a vast understanding of the city’s history. We had a great time with Monika
A moving, informative and worthwhile experience.
Robert was a fantastic representative who went the extra mile to ensure our visit to Poland was over and above the excursion we were expecting. He was informative, giving us lots of interesting facts about the different places we travelled through. He squeezed in a tour of Gdansk and ensured a prompt return to our ship. The Stuttof Concentration camp tour guide, who grew up in the area, was both passionate and knowledgeable. A worthwhile, moving experience.
We had an amazing 3 hour guided tour by Weronica :-)
Weronica was a brilliant guide, her knowledge about the city was amazing. Very good English and we had a magnificent time. Thank you from Ingelise & Per and Karin and Allan
Great sightseeing tour. Everything was arranged and easy for us.
Our driver was prompt and informative. We enjoyed the drive to Malbork Castle. Our tour guide to the castle was amazing. She was friendly and informative and knew so much about the castle and the Knights. We had a great time.
