Upon arrival to Gdansk, check in at Hotel Mercure Gdansk**** or similar. During the afternoon old town walking tour we see Dlugi Targ, or Long Market, St. Mary's Church, St. Bridget's Church, Artus Court and Gdansk Town Hall.

In the afternoon we offer an optional tour out of Gdansk to Malborg Castle. Our first stop is at Elblag, a town with a bitter-sweet past and a seemingly bright future. After a short visit of the Old Town with the red-bricked St. Nicolas Cathedral we continue to pay a visit to Malbork Castle - a massive fortress founded by the Teutonic knights in the 13th century and beautifully sat on the banks of the sluggish Nogat River.
