What you'll be doing

Day One: Arrive in Gdansk

Day One: Arrive in Gdansk

Upon arrival at Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, we transfer to our centrally located four-star hotel. The trip begins with a warm welcome dinner and drink, an ideal way to start our sociable city break. It’s a relaxed evening, perfect for getting to know our fellow solo travellers. With Gdańsk’s main attractions just a short walk away, we can choose to unwind after the journey or enjoy a gentle stroll for a first glimpse of the enchanting Old Town.

Day Two: Gdansk City Tour & Westerplatte Cruise

Day Two: Gdansk City Tour & Westerplatte Cruise

After breakfast, we meet our guide for our walking city tour of Gdańsk. Our exploration begins along Dluga (Long Street), one of the most famous and beautiful streets in the city. Together with Długi Targ (Long Market), it forms the city’s ceremonial thoroughfare, once used for royal processions and major public events. After near-total destruction during WWII, it was meticulously rebuilt, restoring its pre-war grandeur.
Starting at the Złota Brama (Golden Gate), a grand archway marking the street's western entrance, we pass by a vibrant array of pastel-hued Renaissance façades. Along the way, we encounter some of Gdańsk’s most notable landmarks – the towering clock of the Town Hall, the beloved Neptune’s Fountain, and the elegant Artus Court, once a prestigious gathering place for merchants and nobles. We visit the museum of Amber, which has been produced in Gdańsk for centuries. We continue to Most Zielony (Green Bridge) overlooking the Motlawa River and on to Żuraw (The Crane). One of the most recognised symbols of Gdańsk, it is the biggest middle aged port crane in Europe.
 
 
In the afternoon, we set sail to Westerplatte aboard the traditional White Fleet. Westerplatte is a small peninsula at the mouth of the Vistula River in Gdańsk, that in 1939 became the scene of the first battle of WWII. A towering stone memorial overlooking the Baltic Sea now commemorates its defenders. It is also a monument to a history that is still alive and important to Polish national identity. We transfer back to Gdańsk.

Today we visit Malbork Castle, the medieval capital of the Teutonic Order in Eastern Europe. Our guided visit of Malbork Castle offers a fascinating journey into medieval history and the power of the Teutonic Knights. As we explore the vast, UNESCO-listed fortress—the largest brick castle in the world, our knowledgeable guide brings the walls to life with stories of knights, sieges, and royal intrigue. 

We'll wander through grand halls, impressive chapels, and fortified towers, admiring the intricate Gothic architecture and defensive features. Along the way, our guide shares insights into the castle’s strategic importance, its role in medieval warfare, and the daily lives of its inhabitants. The castle’s cellars also host the History of Amber exhibition, presenting an astounding collection of Baltic Sea amber. We return to Gdańsk for our farewell dinner.

Gratuities

There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. To give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below.

Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters, and hotel staff of approximately 100 Polish zloty per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip.
