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 appointed time in the port of Galar, located in the former imperial shipyard in Gdansk. From here, we'll start an interesting walk aboard a galley boat. Are you ready?

We'll sail along the Motlava River for 1 hour and 20 minutes to explore the most characteristic places of Gdansk from a unique perspective. The route includes views of great merchant ships of the port and part of the historical centre, reaching the ruins of a 14th-century Teutonic castle, including a wall fragment of a battlement.

Next, we'll pass by the medieval crane of Gdansk, the oldest in the Baltic, which underwent extensive renovation due to damage during the Second World War.

Additionally, we'll view the historical buildings on Olowianka Island, erected by the Knights of the Teutonic Order, as well as the remains of barns and warehouses used for storing hops and hemp in medieval times, highlighting the contrast with the modernist structures today.

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

What is the boat like?

The boats are inspired by old galleys of the Middle Ages, constructed of wood and accommodating up to 12 people.
