Gdansk Boat Ride

We'll meet at the appointed time in the port of Galar, located in the former imperial shipyard in Gdansk. The tour begins with a ride aboard a galley boat, where we will sail along the Motlava River for 1 hour and 20 minutes to explore the most characteristic places of Gdansk from a unique perspective. Participants will view great merchant ships and the historical center up to the ruins of a 14th-century Teutonic castle, including a wall fragment of a battlement.

Highlights include the medieval crane of Gdansk, regarded as the oldest in the Baltic, which suffered significant damage during World War II, leading to extensive renovations. We will also pass by the historical buildings on Olowianka Island, constructed by the Knights of the Teutonic Order, and see the remains of barns and warehouses that once held hops and hemp, contrasting with modern architecture.

The tour concludes with a return to the starting point.

What is the boat like?

The boats are inspired by medieval galleys, constructed from wood, and accommodate up to 12 people.
