This tour visits Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, known together as the Tri-Cities. In Gdansk you enjoy a walking tour with visits to the Gothic Town Hall and St. Mary's Church. In Sopot you walk out onto Europe's longest wooden pier. In Gdynia you explore Kosciuszki Square. The Tri-Cities were originally three separate cities along this stretch of the Baltic coast, now grown together into a combined metropolitan area of over a million people.
After meeting your guide you drive to the old town of Gdansk, which is mostly a pedestrian zone, so the majority of your time is spent on foot. With a private tour you can control the pace and stop for a coffee break if needed.
You stroll along Dluga Street, the main thoroughfare, with a stop at the Golden Gate, a 17th century entry gate built in the Renaissance style. Also on this street is the Neptune Fountain, whose statue was cast between 1612 and 1615 and unveiled in 1633, symbolizing the city's link to the sea. You visit the interior of the Town Hall, a Gothic red brick building dating from the 14th century, whose Red Room, originally used for town council meetings, is notable for its gilded background, sculptures and paintings. You also see the Artus Court, the city's former Merchant Guild hall and Poland's Stock Exchange, with windows the height of nearby three story buildings; the building survived the war undamaged.
Your tour concludes in Gdansk with a visit to St. Mary's Church, one of the three largest brick churches ever built. Made of red brick in the Gothic period, the church can hold 25,000 people. You'll see its Gothic altars, one of the world's largest medieval clocks, and Hans Memling's The Last Judgment.
Following your Gdansk walking tour you have free time for lunch (meal not included) or shopping. After the break, you drive to Sopot, with a brief stop in the neighborhood of Oliwa to see the Oliwa Cathedral. Founded as a Cistercian monastery in 1186, the current Gothic cathedral was built mainly in the 14th century and is the longest church in the Gdansk area. Its Baroque organ, built between 1763 and 1788, was the largest instrument of its kind in Europe when completed and today still has more than 6,000 pipes across five manuals.
In the resort town of Sopot, a park runs the length of the seaside beach. You have the chance to walk out onto the Sopot Pier, at 1,678 feet (511m) the longest wooden pier in Europe, with views over the city and coastline.
Next is a stop in the planned city of Gdynia. Built from a fishing village of about a thousand residents in the early 1920s after Poland regained access to the Baltic Sea, the city grew to roughly 125,000 residents by 1939. You visit Kosciuszki Square, on the city's main street, with a fountain surrounded by flowers through the warm months and a memorial to Polish seamen lost during World War II. The square is lined with houses dating to the 1930s.
After a full day visiting the Tri-Cities, you return to the cruise pier in Gdynia.
