WEDNESDAY, 8TH JUNE:

We meet at the airport at 7.30am for our Ryanair flight to Gdansk Airport departing at 10am.

Upon arrival at 1.05pm, we are transferred to the central 4-star Qubus Gdansk Old Town Hotel for check in.

Later we suggest joining the leader for a familiarization walk.

This morning after breakfast one may join the leader on a half-day optional guided walking tour of Gdansk Old Town.

We will start our walk along Ulica Dluga ans Dlugi Targ where we will see the Royal way, Upland Gate Prison Tower, Golden Gate, Neptune Fountain, Golden House and the Green Gate.

A stop at Artus Court is a must, which used to be the meeting place of rich merchants and the centre of social life.

In the afternoon, we can join leader for another optional excursion and visit the spa and resort town of Sopot having the longest wooden pier in Europe, at 515.5 meters.

Here we will have time to stroll along Bohaterow Monte Cassino, the pedestrian or main street of Sopot.

A highlight of this street is the Crooked House, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the town.

Before returning to Gdansk, we stop to see the Oliwa Cathedral, which is the longest Cistercian church in the world.

FRIDAY, 10TH JUNE:

Breakfast and today we can opt for an optional morning excursion and visit Malbork Castle, the seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, dating back to the 14th century, an outstanding example of medieval defensive construction.

This vast redbrick fortification which dominates the Vistula riverbank has been the backdrop for many medieval epic films.

We will have time to visit its wealth of treasures, including the Teutonic armor, the weaponry, and the amber room.

On our return in the afternoon to our hotel some free time to relax and prepare for the highlight of this trip.

We will be attending the much-awaited Andre Rieu concert (extra) at The Gdansk Ergo Arena.

Andre Rieu together with the Johann Strauss Orchestra will surely make this night a festive and memorable one for you!

SATURDAY, 11TH JUNE:

After breakfast today we can opt for an optional excursion to Stutthof Concentration Camp.

This memorial is part of the former Nazi concentration camps.

Several buildings and relics testify the tragic past of this area, including wooden prisoners’ barracks, the former camp commandant’s office, crematorium and the gas chamber.

However, most of the infrastructure of the former camp was destroyed or dismantled a few years after the end of the war, however The Monument to Struggle and Martydom has dominated the entire area since 1968.

In the afternoon we return to Gdansk and visit an impressive exhibition at the WWII Museum.

It’s good to remember that Gdansk–Westerplatte is a place where this catastrophe has started on 1st September 1939.

The main exhibition consists of three narrative blocks: The Road to War, The Terror of War and The Long Shadow of War.

These illustrates the Polish experience of war, against a background of the wider European and world context.
