At dawn on 1 September 1939, the first shots fell on the Polish garrison at Westerplatte, where around 200 soldiers held out for seven days. Boats leave from the Old Town embankment, pass the shipyards, and reach the peninsula where the Monument to the Coast Defenders now stands.
Meander through Gdansk's captivating history aboard a replica of a historic Polish boat, uncovering the city's iconic landmarks and intriguing secrets.
