Things to do in Malbork

    Skwer Esperanto

    If you've seen the castle and have more time to kill in Malbork, walk south along the line of the river, past impressive remnants of the old city walls, to Skwer Esperanto, behind the Hotel Stary Malbork. This scrappy park isn't much to look at, but around its edge are commemorative stones placed by keen international speakers of Esperanto from as far away as Korea and Congo, in honour of the world language invented by Ludwig Zamenhof. There's a monument to the great man in the middle of the park. The explanatory signage is in Polish…and Esperanto, naturally.

    Restauracja Piwniczka

    Situated in an atmospheric cellar beneath the west wall of the castle, facing the river, this restaurant dishes up excellent, flavoursome Polish standards along with specials like Castle’s Pot Soup (pork and mushroom) and The Knight’s Plate (two kinds of pork and a chicken shashlik).
