The glamour of Gdansk, which has evolved into a major centre of commerce, culture and politics over its 1,000-year history, is reflected in majestic town houses, the impressive St. Mary’s Basilica and the town hall on the Dlugi Targ (“long market”). A kayak tour** will provide exciting views of the city. The majestic Malbork Castle**, formerly the headquarters of the Teutonic Order and the largest brick building in Europe, is just as worth a visit as Gdansk itself.

The four round churches, which were built around 800 years ago and which were originally used to protect the population, are the landmark of Bornholm.
