Gdansk Retro Car Tour

OVERVIEW

Board a comfortable motor coach and enjoy a drive through Gdynia as you make your way to the neighboring city of Gdańsk, where you will transfer to a retro car. Ride through Gdansk in a retro car that will make the trip more fun than ever and then explore the Old Town at your leisure. As you drive through the city, you will hear about its heyday during the 14th century when it was part of the Hanseatic League, a mercantile organization that controlled the Baltic Sea. You will also learn about the city’s turbulent past, especially during World War II and while under Communist rule. The highlight may well be stopping at the Gdansk Shipyard, where in 1980 electrician Lech Walęsa – who later won the Nobel Prize for Peace and served as president of Poland – helped form the Solidarity trade union that challenged the Communist regime. With all this history fresh in your mind, you will then enjoy free time to browse Old Town on your own. As an alternative, you could just relax over a drink in a cozy café.
