See the Defenders of the Polish Post Office memorial, one of the first battlegrounds of the war. Pause at the Church of St. James and the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970, honoring the victims of communist oppression. Pass by the European Solidarity Centre and BHP Hall, where Poland’s fight for independence reached a turning point. Admire the symbolic "Obrońca" mural and the preserved WWII air raid shelter, ending at the Imperial Shipyard, where echoes of wartime industry still remain. This extended tour is a must for those seeking a complete and immersive look into Gdansk’s complex wartime and post-war history, offering you the chance to ask questions and explore the city’s living memory at your own pace.
