Description

Did you just arrive in Gdansk and are looking to learn a little about its history and most important landmarks? Then this free tour of the "Pearl of the Baltic" is unmissable!

Tour Details

We'll meet in front of the Golden Gate to begin our free walking tour of the historic centre of the city. During our tour, we'll discover why Gdansk, whose port is the most important in all Poland, is known as the "Pearl of the Baltic".

Throughout its cobbled streets, we'll admire the elegant architecture of the buildings, and visit the largest brick church in the world, and Europe's largest medieval crane! All this as well as essential sights such as the Prison Tower, Torture Chamber, St. Mary's Basilica, Arthur’s Court and more!

And we'll discover the stories of some of the city's most famous sons and daughters, such as Daniel Fahrenheit and Arthur Schopenhauer as well as the city's history as the first free city in Poland. Nonetheless, in 1933 the Nazis took control of the city and thus began one of the darkest periods in its history.

The tour finishes in the Gdansk post office, where the Second World War truly began. As Napoleon once said: "Gdansk is the key to it all".

il tour operator si è dimostrato essere un uomo incredibile, pieno di storie interessanti, un vero local fiero in grado di raccontarci per filo e per segno gli alti e i bassi di una splendida città martoriata dalla seconda guerra mondiale e non solo. abbiamo potuto immergerci completamente nel centro storico di Danzica, scoprendo luoghi e curiosità che da turisti solitari non avremmo mai potuto incontrare Translate this opinion into English.

Tour fantastico, Tufi è stato bravissimo, un inglese perfetto e comprensibile a tutti. Il suo orgoglio di essere un cittadino di Gdansk è visibile e lo trasmette in maniera pazzesca. Il tour dura anche più di quelli indicato perchè le spiegazioni sono nei minimi dettagli e tutte molto interessanti. Consigliato a tutti, è stato il miglior tour che abbia fatto. La città merita di essere conosciuta a pieno.
