Day 2. Gdansk

Sightseeing Gdansk

Visiting Westerplatte peninsula where the first battle of the Second World War took place on September 1, 1939 is just one of the highlights of our half-day private tour. You also shouldn’t miss the former Lenin Shipyards with the Road to Freedom exhibition as well as the picturesque Main Town with its fabulous town houses and the world’s biggest brick church.

In 1939-1945 it was one of the cruellest of Nazi camps, and was established to round up and annihilate the Polish opposition in the Gdansk region – but after 1942 it became one of the extermination camps for the Final Solution. Over 100,000 people were kept in the camp, and the number of dead is estimated at 65-85,000.

This day is dedicated to discover one of the most weird little towns in Poland – Borne Sulinowo. After the WW II this area was closed for people and excluded from the management of Polish authorities. Behind the Iron Curtain there was a huge group of Soviet soldiers and Borne Sulinowo was their biggest training field. There was a complete town build specially dedicated to the Russian soldiers, including the railway system, bunkers, casino, orthodox churches and barracks.
