Your sightseeing tour will include a walk around the streets of Old Town, painstakingly restored after WW II. Today the area’s inclusion on UNESCO’s World Heritage List speaks volumes for the effort involved. The historic center is home to St John’s Cathedral, Warsaw’s oldest church connected to celebrations of proclamation of Poland’s Constitution of May 3, the first constitution in Europe and only the second in the world and the important city’s landmark – the Royal Castle, former residence of Polish kings and the seat of parliament. See the lovely Old Market Square guarded by the Mermaid, the symbol of Warsaw, walk through the Barbican, old city’s fortifications to reach the co-called New Town with many restaurants, churches and the famous Monument of Warsaw Uprising.

Morning walking tour of Gdansk with your guide.
We start the tour from the Upland Gate – a fragment of the city’s fortifications and one of its main gates. Just behind it, we pass by a baked-brick construction consisting of the Prison Tower and the Torture House – relics of the Gothic defense walls from the 15th century. The Golden Gate, situated next to the Prison Tower, opens onto the Long Market – a magnificent street, with Patrician mansions decorated with late Renaissance and Baroque facades – a real feast for the eyes!!! It is here that the richest burghers of Gdansk used to live. Next, we can see the Main Town Hall, with a life-sized figure of king Sigismund Augustus on the top. Just behind the Artus Court building rises the tower of St. Mary’s Basilica, a part of the most precious and largest red-brick Gothic church. On our way back we pass by Mariacka Street, with its gabled terraced houses and elegant boutiques, leading to the Long Wharf on the Motlawa River. At the river’s edge stands the characteristic Gdansk Crane, where the tour ends.
