We invite you to another extraordinary walk.
Oliwa: “800 years of history in 90 minutes”
What is Gdańsk like seen away from tourist paths? What stories and secrets escape the authors of publicly available guides? You can find out during alternative city science walks, to which “Local Guides” invite you.
As part of the “O! Summer” we invite you to a series of walks around Gdańsk’s districts. Learn about 800 years of history of this extraordinary district enclosed in a 90-minute walk.
Join us on July 30 at
17.00.
Again, we will start from the “Oliwa Manhattan” to head towards the Park.
We will pass, visible on the other side of ul.
Grunwaldzka, Federal-Mogul plant , and then we will enter two streets, whose patrons will tell us about their extraordinary stories. We will see a tram terminus, which until 1963 was much smaller because of the building that stood there, and it remembered the age…. XVII. After crossing Abbot Rybiński Street, we find ourselves on the reverse side of the so-called Rybiński Street.
Royal Telescope, and immediately afterwards we will be able to look through it to… Sea .
Ominiemy pocysterską katedrę i zaznajomimy się z dość nietypowym przedstawicielem oliwskiego drzewostanu. Stamtąd udamy się ku pięknemu ceglanemu kościołowi, który niektórym turystom z katedrą się mylił. Od kościoła już tylko krok do gmachu V Liceum, który kryje w środku pewną tajemnicę o niezwykłej historii. Zaś patron szkoły, Stefan Żeromski przeniesie nas nieoczekiwanie ku gmachom Olivii Centre.
Po drodze czeka nas wiele dygresji, anegdot i wspomnień, a także odpowiedzi na pytania uczestników.
Route: Olivia Centre – ul. Opata Rybiński – Major Bezruczka Square – ul.

Local Guides
It is an initiative that brings together the inhabitants of Gdańsk who show around the lesser-known corners of the city with passion, knowledge and commitment. Each walk is carried out according to the original scenario of the guide. During it, you can hear about the surrounding nature and architecture, learn about the history of the district, look into its secret places usually known only to residents. Guides talk about literary inspirations or artistic threads related to a given place, and their narratives are often embellished with personal notes.
Walks allow you to get to know the city from a different side. It happens that the stories told by the guide surprise the oldest residents of a given district. Tourists, on the other hand, appreciate the “insider” knowledge of the guides, which reveals the atmosphere of the place to them and allows them to delve deeper into the specificity of the city. More about Local Guides…
The organizer of the project is the City Culture Institute – a local government cultural institution that creates events for and with the participation of residents.
Its aim is to increase the role of culture in the life of the city and its local identity. For more events, please visit www.ikm.gda.pl.
The place of our meeting: Olivia’s patio, in front of the entrance to Olivia Tower.
We are waiting until 5:10 p.m. at the latest.
