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.

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 Malbork Castle Museum, karwan@zamek.malbork.pl, www.zamek.malbork.pl

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.
