The experience

The route starts in Gdańsk's historic center and moves through the Old Town to the Shipyard: the place where the largest social movement in world history took root. You'll see the Occupational Health and Safety Hall where Solidarity was founded, and the shipyard cranes still in active use for ship construction. From there, the tour shifts to Wrzeszcz, a recently revitalized district now filled with cafes and restaurants, then to Zaspa's mural gallery, one of the world's largest collections of street art painted on concrete apartment blocks.

After the city sightseeing, the route follows the Baltic coast by bike to Sopot, a summer resort known across Europe. The ride uses the boulevard and dedicated bike paths, so the cycling stays smooth and scenic. In Sopot itself, you'll explore the town's architecture and layout by bike, seeing it from angles most visitors miss on foot.

The return to Gdańsk passes through Oliwa, a district that preserves the city's original architecture. Oliwa Park sits at its heart, and next to it stands Poland's longest church, where organs over 200 years old still play. The tour ends with a ride back to central Gdańsk along the bike path, taking in the city's varied architecture and landscape.
