About this activity
This tour is designed to give you an insiders view of the area's tumultuous past, while at the same time, showing you its current beauty.
Westerplatte by cruise
You are going to meet your private guide near the Golden Gate in Gdansk. So you will have opportunity to take a walk through the Royal Way and hear how this route was only accessible to the powerful monarchs in former days. Then you will take a
45-minute long cruise to the Westerplatte by
the “Black Pearl” or “Galleon Lion” and after 2-hour of sightseeing you will return in the same way. During the boat trip you will have the opportunity to see the Main Town from river Motława side, Dead Vistula River, shipyards and harbour.
About Westerplatte:
This tour is designed to give you an insiders view of the area's tumultuous past, while at the same time, showing you its current beauty
Westerplatte was for centuries a military base for many different armies, most people associate it with a date: the 1st of September 1939. Also known as
the beginning of WW2. Even though we know now that other polish cities were attacked a few minutes earlier than Westerplatte, this place is the symbol for the beginning of the Second World War.
Here
200 Polish soldiers heroically fought the Nazis which outnumbered them 8 times. Nowadays in Westerplatte we can see the remaining
Guardhouse No.1 and the remains of a barracks. The whole area is quite small so we will walk though it. We will see a small military cemetery and a huge Monument to the defenders of the Polish Coast. A large
monument pays tribute to those Polish defenders and marks the spot where the entire world was plunged into war just 60 years ago.
