Soldek is the first ship build in the Gdansk Shipyard after the Second World War. Soldek is now a part of the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk. Actually it the first ocean-going ship in the history of the Polish shipbuilding industry. Now it is moored on the Motlawa river.

Amazing Combi visit, the ship, museum and granary takes you back in time with wonderful exhibit for kids and adults. A must see!

Really interesting if your into ships and sea faring, but more could be made of the space.

It's good for a quick visit. May be interesting for kids who never been on a ship before. Would be much better if there were any interactive items there.

Quite a nice to go around the ship, though there are no translations in English, which is a bit of a shame... The paint has been piled on as opposed to proper maintenance, but interesting nonetheless. Make sure that you wear decent footwear, as you would expect lots of ladders

Monet's Garden

Claude Monet lived for forty-three years, from 1883 to 1926, in Giverny. With a passion for gardening as well as for colours, he conceived both his flower garden and water garden as true works of art. Walking through his house and gardens, visitors can still feel the atmosphere which reigned at the home of the Master of Impressionnism and marvel at the floral compositions and nymphéas, his greatest sources of inspiration.

In 1890 Monet had enough money to buy the house and land outright and set out to create the magnificent gardens he wanted to paint. Some of his most famous paintings were of his garden in Giverny, famous for its rectangular Clos normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around colored shrubs, and the water garden, formed by a tributary to the Epte, with the Japanese bridge, the pond with the water lilies, the wisterias and the azaleas.

Today the Monet's Garden is open to the public.
