Introducing Malbork
It’s not hard to figure out what the tourists streaming out of Malbork’s train station every day are heading towards – this quiet hamlet’s spectacular castle. The top dog among Polish fortifications, the magnificent Unesco-listed structure is a classic example of the medieval fortress, and Europe’s largest Gothic castle as well. In summer it’s at its busiest, playing host to crowds of both local and international visitors. Malbork is an easy day trip from Gdańsk, but you could also stay overnight to appreciate the town and its famous stronghold in a less hectic atmosphere.
