This tour visits the Memorial and Museum at the former Stutthof Concentration Camp, including the camp site and its museum, then continues in the afternoon with lunch and a walking tour of Gdansk's Old Town.
After meeting your guide, you depart directly for the town of Sztutowo, where the camp is located. Stutthof was the first concentration camp the Nazis built outside Germany, opened in September 1939, and among the last camps liberated by the Allies. An estimated 110,000 people were deported there between 1939 and 1945, of whom around 65,000 died from execution, starvation, disease, and forced labor. Many of those brought to the camp for immediate execution were never formally registered, so the precise total will never be known with certainty. Originally built as a small prison for Poles and prisoners of war, Stutthof grew into the site of some of the worst atrocities of the war, holding prisoners from 26 different nations before it was finally liberated by the Soviet Army on May 9, 1945.
A visit to the camp site and museum takes about 2 hours. The museum shows a series of short films and displays artifacts recovered after liberation, including jewelry, artwork, and clothing.
After this sobering visit, you return to Gdansk, where you have free time for lunch (meal not included) before an Old Town walking tour. This afternoon you stroll along Dluga Street, the main thoroughfare, passing the Old Town Hall, the High Gate, the Torture House and Prison Tower, and the Golden Gate, a 17th century entry gate built in the Renaissance style. You also see the Artus Court, Gdansk's former Merchant Guild hall, the Neptune Fountain, whose statue was cast between 1612 and 1615 and unveiled in 1633, and St. Mary's Church, one of the three largest brick churches ever built, able to seat up to 25,000 people. At the end of the tour, you are driven back to the pier.
