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.

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.
