27. Feel the Freedom and Solidarity
Visit the Shipyard with Subject ive Bus Line, See Lech Wałęsa’s Workplace
An unusual bus and bus route through historic sites of Gdańsk Shipyard. The remarkable journey takes place on board
a vintage bus, Jelcz RTO – the so-called ‘cucumber’. The passengers are accompanied by former Gdańsk Shipyard
workers who take them on a guided tour of their old workplace and share their personal subjective experience of the
history of the shipyard and its economic and political role. The bus stops are mapped out by remarkable events and
places: the wall which Lech Wałęsa jumped over, the slipways, the BHP Hall (Occupational Health and Safety Hall)
where the August Agreement was signed and Lech Wałęsa’s workplace.
City Game ‘The Solidarity Trail’
City game is a journey into a recent past, the end of
the previous system in the 1980s. We can witness a
reality full of astonishing rules, customs and humour.
The feature sites include: Gdańsk Shipyard, Solidarity
Square, Roads to Freedom Exhibition, St. Bridget
Church, murals in Zaspa and Oliwa. The game won an
award in the Gdańsk Tourist Organization
competition for the best Tourism Product.

28. Meet the Teutonic Knights
Night tours of the Malbork Castle
A night visit to the castle is an unusual opportunity to discover the secrets of the stronghold. We will follow in the footsteps
of its former owners – knights of the Teutonic Order. Fascinating stories and gothic architecture will take you on a journey
to the Middle Ages. We have an array of attractions on offer such as knights tournaments, archery and crossbow shooting
topped off with dinner within castle walls which makes you visit memorable.

The Culinary Academy of the Teutonic Grand Masters
Although cooking is something everyone is familiar with, the
richness and diversity of the Teutonic cuisine is still a secret
to most of us. The Culinary Academy at Malbork Castle
reveals the secrets of medieval dishes and the traditions of
the order and its knights. Our chef – instructor is a graduate
of Kurt's Scheller Culinary Academy as well as one of the
most prestigious culinary schools in the world – the Culinary
Academy of New York. Classes take place in the stylish
surroundings of the castle restaurant. The programme of the
course includes cooking sophisticated dishes in original
costumes followed by merry feasting.
