Malbork Castle – by bus
Duration – 6 hours
Price – from – from 56 Euro per person

The drive from Gdańsk to Malbork takes about 1 hour. Approaching Malbork , you can see the monumental stronghold dominating the town. The castle and the town were established in 1276 by the Teutonic Knights , a military-religious order that was invited to Poland by the duke Konrad of Masovia in order to protect his duchy against attacks of the pagan Prussians. The huge castle complex had been constructed by the middle of the fifteenth century and today it is still one of the biggest fortresses of medieval Europe .

The area of this complex is 21 ha. Passing over the moat and through the main gate, you will enter the courtyard of the Middle Castle. Here you can see the Grand Master’s palace - the place where the Grand Masters of the order used to live.

The castle complex was badly damaged at the end of World War II. The castle was reconstructed after the war and the reconstruction work is still continuing. This means that not all spaces and chambers are accessible for tourists. Some rooms hold different exhibitions presenting collections of ceramics, glass, armour and a large display of Baltic amber. The walking tour of the castle, with a local guide, takes about 2 hours.

Note : Lunch can be served in the traditional castle restaurant “Zamkowa”.
