Description

Discover a different side of Gdańsk on a unique bike tour through Wrzeszcz and the post-industrial docklands. Explore the city's forgotten mansions, vibrant street art, communist relics, hidden gardens, and the soul of the Solidarity movement. This will be a relaxed pace ride with a lot of local touchups. We are here to have fun! Roughly ~14 km / (8,7 miles) where we will not be in rush... unlease you ask for it :-) Easy bike ride. Great for any fitness level. Mostly paved surfaces. Suitable for all. Start your 2.5–3 hour guided ride in Wrzeszcz, a former spa town turned modern cultural hotspot. Pass through leafy parks and historical villas to Soviet-style blocks and modern hipster hubs. (if you opt for hotel-pickup - we will need extra 1h for in/out logistics - so please take into account ~4h for the whole activity). See the fascinating ruins of shipyards and the monumental cranes on the horizon. Admire legendary graffiti walls, secret murals, and street art, expireince the freedom. Visit secret spots and hidden gems, Günter Grass's family home, the mysterious Freemasons' Lodge, and the historic Politechnika Gdańska (Königliche Technische Hochschule zu Danzig). We will see the picturesue points of the Old Town - but stay out of the most turist crouded places, puting real feel expirences in favour of the 'must see' places. Learn about the stories of revolution, resilience, and rebirth in Gdańsk's beating heart. Stop at over 40 points of interest, stopping often for short stories, photos, and local insights. Get to touch and feel the atmosphere of historic events at the places where they have happened. Ever heard the legend of Lech Wałęsa or Henryka Krystyna Krzywonos-Strycharska? We are eager to share it. The pace is relaxed, the route is flat and safe, and your local guide will make sure you see parts of Gdańsk that most tourists never encounter. Please dress appoprietly for the weather conditions, in Gdańsk we often have windy eveninigs - please take that into count while dressing, and make sure to have 'extra layer clothing' in your backpack.
