The present image of the city was created by its complex history. Gdansk used to often change hands and in 1980 it witnessed the birth of the Solidarity movement, which brought the end of Communism.

The tour includes the very best of old Gdansk. You will have an opportunity to enjoy a pleasant walk around the Old Town area. One of the most characteristic features of Gdansk is the Crane Gate, situated in the old harbour. This is a short step from the Long Market Square with its wonderful Neptune Fountain and Artus Court - the meeting hall of merchants in the times of the Hanseatic League. The walk allows you to admire the Renaissance-style burgher houses and the Main Town Hall with its carillon of 37 bells. You will also see the Green Gate, the Golden Gate, the High Gate, the Prison Tower, and possibly the most stunning Gdansk attraction and arguably the biggest redbrick church in Europe, St. Mary's Church, with its famous astronomical clock made by Hans Düringer in 1464. On the way you will also learn about Polish amber extracted from the Baltic Sea - and Gdansk is the perfect place to buy beautiful jewellery.
