Description

Join a local guide to discover Gdansk’s Old Town, exploring legends and fairytales from Pomerania while learning about the medieval amber route and maritime history. This tour is suitable for children of all ages and combines fun with education.

The 2-hour option covers the main Old Town highlights, including Polish history and culture through child-friendly games and activities. Walk the Royal Route past the High Gate and Golden Gate, visit the lively Long Market with cafes and shops, and hear the legend of Neptune’s Fountain. Discover the Artus Court’s medieval merchants and learn about amber’s significance along the Motlawa River Embankment. See historic ships and the Żuraw crane, ending at St. Mary’s Basilica, one of the world’s largest brick churches. Children will be intrigued by the basilica’s astronomical clock, which moves daily before noon. For an additional fee, St. Mary’s Tower can be visited for views over the Old Town.

Located in an old mill, the museum offers interactive exhibits showing amber’s formation, extraction, and uses in medicine and art. See unique amber treasures, like the prehistoric “sunken lizard” and a full-size guitar.

The 4-hour option adds a visit to the Maritime Culture Center, part of the National Maritime Museum. This interactive space features hands-on exhibits, computer simulators, and remote-controlled ships, ideal for active children who learn through play.
