Gdansk half day tour from Port of Gdansk or Gdynia

Did you know that gold of Baltic Sea is amber? We have the biggest International Amber Fair in the world. In the museum there is 40 mln old lizard trapped in a piece of amber. What is the biggest brick church in the world? St Mary's Church in Gdansk, of course! Big Church and next to that there is The Beer Street. Johannes Hevelius who comes from Gdansk was famous astronomer but brewer and businessman as well. Gdansk is also the symbolic place where World War II began in Poland. 90% of historic part of the city was destroyed but it was rebuild. Gdansk is the birthplace of Solidarity movement and the city where Lech Walesa lives. The other famous peope from Gdansk are Gabriel Fahrenheit (physicist) and Günter Grass (writer). One thousand years of Gdansk history and only half day tour. That's a challange. Last spring when I was in USA I rented a car. Customer service woman looked at my ID and screamed: - You live in Gdansk! - Yes, so what? - I visited Gdansk on the cruise ship trip and it was beautiful!
