Gdańsk, Poland

Discover Culinary & Precious Treasures of Gdańsk

Attend a Cooking Workshop and Meet an Amber Specialist Stroll through Gdańsk on a city walk, take a Polish cooking class, visit a jeweler’s shop and sample Goldwasser. Following your city walk, attend our Polish cooking workshop and try making your own pierogi. These delightful pockets of unleavened dough are filled with either a savory or sweet filling before being cooked in boiling water. Enjoy the fruits of your labor served with a glass of compote, a traditional Polish beverage. Call on a local amber shop to observe a specialist as he prepares these ancient, semiprecious stones used in the art of jewelry making since the Stone Age. Visit a restaurant and try some Goldwasser, a strong root and herbal liqueur that has been produced in Gdańsk since at least 1598. The most prominent characteristic of this beverage is the small flakes of 22 or 23 karat gold suspended in it.
