Overview

In this walking tour you will be offered a unique perspective of Gdańsk through different layers of history & development affecting the everyday life of the people living in. Smells, sounds, historical images of the city… You will be projected into all of it.

The tour is guided by a local architect and urban planner passionate about the history of the place. #historyandarchitecture #architectandguide

I use educational materials to keep you focused and curious about the next steps.

You can take your kids and they will like it as well. Thanks to playing cards (optional) they will be involved in the tour.

So let yourself be carried away by the historically richest city in the Baltic Sea basin: Gdańsk, known also as Danzig. You will never forget this city. You will talk about Gdańsk to your friends.
And so I also hope that you will keep this tour in good memory:)
