Overview

Visit this enchanting and breathtaking German town in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle picking up and dropping off directly at your cruise ship, and a passionate local guide who will take you to all of its gems. Marvel at its iconic gate, one of the most recognized symbols of the Baltic, see the stunning St Mary's Basilica - the predecessor of all red-brick Gothic Churches in this region, dating back from the mid-13th century.
