Places worth seeing
Gdańsk - a thousand-years-old city, the cradle of Solidarity, a required visit during a stay on Pomorze. Beautiful monuments and renovated tenement houses are only some of many attractions in Gdańsk. Especially noteworthy are the famous organs at the Oliwa Cathedral and the St Mary's Street, with its unique atmosphere. Gdańsk has an international airport with direct flights to London, Copenhagen and many German cities.
Toruń - the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, famous from over 300 monuments firmly ingrained in the history of European art. The layout of the market square and its adjoining streets has not changed since 700 years. A peculiarity of the city is its Leaning Tower, built on the turn of 13th and 14th century, and leaning like the famous tower in Pisa.
Malbork - the castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is awe-inspiring - it is the largest gothic stronghold in Europe. It consists of three castles surrounded by separate fortification, and is spread on a surface of approx. 20 ha. It also has a museum with a collection of amber. Night-tours of the castle are a special attraction, and in summer, on the courtyards of the castles light and sound shows.
Frombork - at the Nicolaus Copernicus museum you may watch the souvenirs left by the great astronomer, watch a show at the planetarium, or visit the observatory for a show of the night sky. Within the Radziejowski tower a Focault's pendulum has been hung - an instrument that enables one to see with one's own eyes the rotational movement of the Earth, and from the observation deck of the tower (70 m asl) you will have a view on the entire neighbourhood of Frombork.
