stop-off on Gdansk - Warsaw train journey?
We're due to travel from Gdansk to Warsaw this summer which will take
about 4.5 hours. As we will be travelling with 2 small children I was thinking of breaking the journey. The stops en route a Tczew, Malbork, Ilawa Glowna and Dzialdowo. Are any of these places worth a look or can anyone suggest an alternative route? Thanks |

Malbork is the best choice - one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, within a walking distance from the train station, ideal for a half-day visit. http://www.zamek.malbork.pl/en/index.html An alternative route could be Gdansk - Torun - Warsaw. http://www.visittorun.pl/ igor |

With them, I'm not so sure tim |

Malbork is good for the abso-friggin-lutely huge fortress, but there's not much else there. Torun is also worth a look if you go through there, but the station is a bit of a walk from the old town. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Yeah, I had looked at Malbork as a possibility but there seems to be
the castle and, er, that's it. Torun looks promising - anyone know if the railway station has a left luggage facility? |

I don't think the rest of Malbork would love it though :-) |

Man, you're in luck today, I needed to call them for some other stuff. Yes, there are facilities for left luggage there. The guy I spoke to said there are "boxes", which presumably means lockers. You can walk to the centre, which involves crossing a very soviet looking steel bridge, or there is also a bus. Don't forget to stamp the tickets. The tourist office number is +48 56 6210931, and they speak English. One of the curious things about the town is how the prison is right in the middle of the old town. A really odd place to put it. I guess you wouldn't be interested in nightlife there, which is a pity, because it has a big student population, and can be great fun. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |
