Gdansk is a great city break destination thanks to the fact that it is located by the sea so you can take the advantage of activities connected with water such as cruises, swimming, etc. It is also a very good choice if you are interested in the history of World War II or era of communism and Solidarity movement.

Beside Gdansk’s beautiful city centre full of marvelous monuments we recommend to visit other two cities of Tricity - Sopot & Gdynia during the holiday to Gdansk, Poland. For history geeks JTP Group can arrange the one day tour to Stutthof - Nazi concentration camp or to Malbork Castle to see one of the biggest castles in Europe.

Yes, of course, there are some. You can arrange city breaks to Gdansk from London or Birmingham directly. Due to the current situation with the pandemic of COVID-19 it is worth checking as it may change.


Is it possible to combine city break to Gdansk with any other Polish cities?


As Gdansk is a part of Tri-city we recommend visiting just this area during the 3-days city break. Our cheap city breaks to Gdansk, Poland do not combine with Warsaw or Krakow but you can take a look at our programme Best of Poland that takes 12 days and enables the group to see more of our country.
