Description

Discover the fascinating history of Gdańsk on a guided e-scooter tour exploring the legendary Shipyard and the places connected with the Solidarity movement. Choose a 1.5-hour Shipyard & History tour or extend your adventure with the 3.5-hour Full Experience, combining the Shipyard with Gdańsk’s historic Old Town.

The 1.5-hour Shipyard & History tour takes you through one of the most important areas in Gdańsk’s modern history. Ride through the historic shipyard area and see Solidarity Square, the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers, the historic Shipyard Gate and the characteristic shipyard cranes. Your local guide will share stories about the workers’ protests, the Solidarity movement and the events that helped shape modern Poland.

Choose the 3.5-hour Full Experience to discover both sides of Gdańsk. Start in the historic Old Town, where you’ll see the Golden Gate, Long Market, Neptune’s Fountain, Artus Court, Mariacka Street, St. Mary’s Basilica and the picturesque Motława waterfront with the famous Medieval Crane.

After exploring the Old Town, enjoy a 30-minute break at Stara Stocznia 20. Relax, grab a drink or snack and recharge before continuing to the Shipyard and its historic landmarks.

The Full Experience gives you more time to understand how Gdańsk developed from a medieval trading port into a major industrial centre and why the shipyard became such an important part of Poland’s modern history.

Riding an e-scooter lets you cover more ground than walking while enjoying an open-air and interactive experience. Before the tour, you’ll receive a short training session and safety instructions. No previous e-scooter experience is required.
