This full day tour visits the Stutthof Concentration Camp and also enjoys a walking tour of Gdansk's Old Town. After meeting your licensed guide at the pier you immediately depart for Sztutowo.

The Stutthof concentration camp was the first Nazi camp built outside of Germany and was the last camp liberated by Allied forces. Situated about 20 miles outside of Gdansk, the camp was the place of death for over 85,000 people. Although the actual number killed is assumed to be much greater. Originally a small prison for Poles and P.O.W.’s, the camp would become the site for some of the worst atrocities of the War.

Between 1939 and 1945, 127,000 prisoners were officially registered in the camp, but those who were immediately singled out for execution were not registered at all, so there is no way of knowing the exact number or people brought to Stutthof.

Finally liberated on May 10, 1945 by the Soviet Army, the camp was shut down and its prisoners were released. People from 26 different nations had been kept there, a testament to the scale of the Nazi war effort.

After this sobering visit, you return Gdansk where you have free time for lunch on your own before enjoying an Old Town walking tour.

You'll stroll along the main thoroughfare called Dluga Street and see the Old Town Hall, the High Gate, the Torture House Prison Tower, the Golden Gate, Artus Hall Court, Neptune fountain, and St. Mary's Church.

Later this afternoon you return to the pier by vehicle.
