Gdansk Boat Ride

Discover the attractions of Poland's largest port city with this Gdansk Boat Ride - a tour full of curiosities and surprises!

Gdansk Boat Ride

We'll meet at the port of Galar, located in the former imperial shipyard in Gdansk. From here, we'll start a boat tour aboard a galley boat. The sailing duration is 1 hour and 20 minutes along the Motlava River, where participants will see the most notable places of Gdansk from a unique perspective. This includes the great merchant ships of the port and a view of the historical center, extending up to the ruins of a 14th-century Teutonic castle, which includes remnants of a battlement.

We will also pass by the medieval crane of Gdansk, the oldest in the Baltic, which has undergone significant renovations due to WWII damage. Additionally, historical buildings on Olowianka Island built by the Knights of the Teutonic Order will be observed, along with remains of barns and warehouses that historically stored hops and hemp, highlighting a contrast with modern architecture.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point to conclude the ride.

What is the boat like?

The boats are designed in the style of old galleys from the Middle Ages, constructed of wood with a capacity of 12 people.
