Gdansk, Poland
Oliwa Cathedral stands in the Oliwa district of Gdańsk, Poland, about ten kilometres north-west of the historic centre, next to the beautiful Oliwa Park, and entry is free outside services. It is famous for its enormous rococo organ, and organ concerts, lasting about twenty minutes, are held several times a day in summer and less often in winter; they are the main reason many visitors come.
Gdansk, Poland
Saint Mary's Basilica stands in the heart of Gdansk's Main Town, near the Long Market and the Neptune Fountain, and it is one of the largest brick churches in the world. Entry to the church is by a small fee for tourists outside service times, and climbing the tower costs extra; the climb of about four hundred steps leads to a viewing platform with views over the old town, the Motlawa river and the shipyards.
