Description
We took into account the needs and interests of the Scandinavians and created a trip especially for you. During this original tour, we will look for Scandinavian symbols hidden in the Old Town of Gdansk and explore the long history of relations between Poland and Denmark, Norway and Sweden. There is more to discover here than you might think. Come and see! Book a 2-hour Scandinavian-style tour of Gdansk. Like on our regular walking tours of the Old Town we will introduce you to local history and legends but with a special focus on Scandinavian influences. You will hear the stories of the first Vikings who sailed up the Vistula river and the Polish Princess Swietoslawa who first married Eric the Victorious of Sweden then King Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark and Norway. Are you curious to find out how these unions shaped the history of Europe? As you walk through the iconic Long Market, your Expert Guide will share more stories about the trade and cultural contacts that developed between Gdansk and Scandinavian cities on the Baltic Sea during the Hanseatic League. You will discover the hidden symbols of the Polish kings of the Swedish Vasa League on the facade of Artus Court, and learn about the merchants who flowed into the city from the Motława River. Inside St. Mary’s Church you will find more traces of Scandinavian visitors and citizens of Gdansk. The tour will end at the Great Armory,, an ideal place to tell you about the Swedish invasion of Poland and the Great Northern War and how the Polish-Scandinavian relations developed after Poland regained its independence. Book an extended 3-hour tour to enhance your Scandinavian experience with a visit to St. Bridget’s Basilica. This basilica church is named after the celebrated St. Bridget of Sweden, whose funeral procession passed through the Motława town. The guide will tell you the story of Swedish noons who attended Gdańsk’s former Bridgettine convent. You will also see the world-famous amber altar. Tickets are included.Includes
