MALBORK

Malbork - a city located about 60km from Gdańsk (one hour drive). This place is not to be missed during your stay in the Pomerania region. The main attraction is a fortified castle from the late 13th-century, belonging to the Teutonic Order, enlarged and embellished after 1309, when the knights conquered Gdańsk and the seat of the Grand Master moved from Venice to Malbork. In 1997 the castle was put on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "... the most complete and elaborate example of the Gothic brick castle complex in the characteristic and unique style of the Teutonic Order, which evolved independently of the contemporary castles of western Europe...". Today it is a museum with many interesting expositions (with a splendid collection of amber, medieval armory and much more). Price includes transfer from Gdańsk and back to the hotel, local guide service and entrance tickets. On the way to Malbork there is a chance to learn some interesting facts about the lowland area called Żuławy, located at the mouth of the Vistula river.
