10 Cultural Tours in Gdansk That You Shouldn't Miss

November 20, 2021 Myesha Cogley

One of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, has played major roles in history, especially in the 20th-century. It was the 1939 flash point of World War II, and then in 1980, the birthplace of the Solidarnosc labor movement, ushering the end of Communist domination in Eastern Europe. Gdansk’s Old Town, painstakingly reconstructed to its Hanseatic League glory after being leveled in World War II, is a highlight. The 14th-century Town Hall houses the city’s historical museum.

I really wanted to do this tour, my husband. Didn’t really want to go , but the guild was very knowledgeable and informative. I was so glad we made the decision to go and so was my husband, the pick up and drop off was dead on time. If you are in the area I would recommend this tour, sad but knowledgeable.

Unfortunately the information on our voucher had not been updated and at the end of the season, only one bus was running. No chance to hop off, as it meant at least an hour wait before the same bus would return to pick you up. The company looked after us the best they could, but it would have been better if we had not missed that first bus because the departure time was not correct. If you are cruising check how far Gdansk is from the port when the cruise ships berth (Gdynia).We had to pay the cruise ship an extra $40 USD to get transferred to the old city of Gdansk. We were not prepared for that - probably our fault for not researching the details.

I joined the 3 hour cycle tour, which was a brilliant introduction to the diverse nature of Gdansk, including the port. Bozena is a great guide, very knowledgable, interesting, and patient when we wished to snap away more before moving on! She also frequently offered to take photos of us and provided some good tips on more hidden places to eat and visit. I strongly recommend this tour for getting a snapshot of this great city. Many thanks Bozena! Paul
