Gdansk culture reviews

Malbork Castle

Hi David, I have checked the link to their website and it works fine for me. It is zamek.malbork.pl if you are having any probs - and they have a section in English too.

Oliwa Cathedral

We are very lucky to see this magnificent church while we are in Rematowa drydock Gdansk,our Superintendent arrange this trip and this church was one of the place we have been.I can tell every one that its one of a kind church that can be visited because of the magnificent organ that they have and the interior of the church.I thank GOD to give me this opportunity to see such place.

just to let you know that your link to Malbork Castle does not seem to work.

Malbork Castle

The castle itself is one of those most stunning I have seen anywhere & well worth a visit,( I speak as a very well-travelled person) but for those who speak no Polish, bee warned that you need to purchase a guide in your own language before entering the castle as there are no other language signs or indications available. I had taken the time from a recent business trip to travel the distance from Warsaw especially to see it, but fortunately the unhelpful & uncaring museum staff failed to completely spoil my enjoyment of such a splendid place. Speaking to other nationalities, during my visit, who also endured the same bad behaviour, I can only hope that the local tourist office can take some time to put at least some signs (words not even necessary) for foreigners & train their staff to behave with politeness towards their visitors. Possibly it's only independent visitors they resent, but sometimes it's not possible to visit in a group, for history enthusiasts such as myself!!!

Forest Opera

The best way to see a concert in Gdansk!

Malbork Castle

Yes! I agree. We went on a 10 day Baltic cruise and this was the most interesting and enjoyable day we spent. It rained all day, but we did not care. Malbork Castle was FANTASTIC. The old part of Gdansk has been refurbished and the shops were not only beautiful outside but also inside. Plus the shopping was excellent. Some cruises are dropping this port and I think it's a shame. If you can get to this area, be sure to visit both places.

Artus Court

Quite a sight. As if one were to be pulled back in time.

Maybe Theatre Company

I went to see their performance of RENT few years ago and it was amazing. I've seen the show on Broadway and I must say that their version of it was just as worthy. Amazingly talented and great people, very memorable performance. I like the musicals better but that could just be a personal preference. Go see them!

Laznia Culture Centre

Don't miss this place - it has some great exhibitions and concerts

Theatrum Gedanense

buongiorno, mi chiamo monica bonomi sono un'attrice e regista italiana. Il vostro festival di Shakespeare è molto interessante e mi piacerebbe partecipare. Volevo avere informazioni circa i termini del bando e il materiale. Ho uno spettacolo tratto da Amleto. Per conoscenza vi invio l'indirizzo di youtube su cui potete visionare un pezzo di un monologo recitato da me tratto da un testo di F. Kafka. Grazie mille e buona giornata.

Malbork Castle

National Museum

Perhaps Krakow's has the edge but enjoyed a saunter round here. Happy to recommend

Malbork Castle

Don't deny that Wales has some fine castles, but surely what makes this fascinating to those of us further West, is the fact that its red brick. And of course that it was the seat of the Teutonic Knights. A real feast for the eyes.

National Museum

Enjoyed a stroll around here - ideal for a rainy day!

Malbork Castle

This castle is indeed nice but please remember it is made pout of brick. If you want to see some fine castles, I'm absolutely positive that the UK/Wales has some of the best in the world

Malbork Castle

Gdansk is one of the finest cities in Europe and Malbork is the frosting on the cake! If you haven't seen either site, you haven't seen Europe!

Artus Court

Worth dropping by. Gives an idea of how wealthy the city was in Renaissance times. Likewise the facades of buildings, all beautifully restored

Westerplatte

Was interesting come here, so close to the 70th anniversary of the start of the war. Certainly gets the brain ticking over...

Malbork Castle

Amazing. Apparently, the Hitler Youth used to make pilgrimages here from across Germany, this being the seat of the Teutonic knights. They had special ceremonies.

Malbork Castle

what information were You looking for? I had no problems :)

National Museum

Brilliant!

Malbork Castle

Getting to Malbork from Gdansk is easy. Make sure you know how to ask for 2 train tickets!!! You can get off the train outside the castle, but this is the stop before the main Malbork station. The staions are badly sign posted so keep an eye out. Only 10 Zloty on the train from Gdansk. Once there it is 25zloty to get in. The signs were really poor inside. We had no idea which door to go through, however this turned into a bit of a game by the end to see who could find a door that would open!!! Once you do find an open door it is well worth it.

Museum of Amber

I had gone Amber blind by the time we stumbled on the museum. At 10zloty (£2) I was Excellent!!! You also get the Jaling Museum within the admission fee. All kinds of Amber are at the museum. Creatures stuck in amber, amber fashion, amber rings, necklaces etc. I wasnt too sure I would enjoy it. But at £2 it was one of the best things to do in Gdansk!

Jailing Museum

The Jailing Museum is attached to the Amber Museum and you get a 2 4 1 deal here. Only 10 Zloty to get in!!! Thats £2. The Museum is a must see, but as ever bad signs dont let people know just what is in there. Spent nearly 2 hours wandering around. You also get great views from the top of the tower. A MUST see if going to Gdansk.

Oliwa Cathedral

My visit to this church was just so breathaking... I was visiting thil wonderful place in september 2008.It was my great wonderful polish friends who invited my to Gdansk. As a part of what they wanted to show me, was this wonderful church in Oliwa Park. At the time we had our visit, it was also an amazing organ concert, also playing Bach,Toccata and Fugue in D. It was really so unforgettable... I just have to come back soon......
