Description

Discover Gdańsk by bike on a guided sightseeing experience that combines the city's historic heart with its fascinating shipbuilding heritage.

Choose the route that interests you most. The Old Town tour takes you through the historic centre, where colourful facades, charming streets and monumental architecture tell stories of Gdańsk's rich past. See the famous Neptune's Fountain, admire the impressive Main Town Hall and discover the atmospheric streets around Długi Targ and the Motława waterfront. Cycle past historic gates and waterfront landmarks while your guide shares stories about the city's merchants, maritime traditions and remarkable history.

Alternatively, explore the Gdańsk Shipyard and discover a different side of the city. This area played a major role in Poland's industrial history and became internationally known as the birthplace of the Solidarity movement. Ride past historic shipyard buildings, industrial landscapes and places connected with the workers' struggle for freedom and political change. Discover how former industrial areas are being transformed into lively spaces for culture, creativity and modern urban life.
