Last summer, as part of the “Discover Lower Town with ACCIONA” campaign, we had the pleasure of organizing a series of unique walks around Lower Town. We would like to thank all the participants and our indispensable partners who helped us showcase this extraordinary, yet still undiscovered, area of ​​Gdańsk to a wider audience.

The Lower Town – a rough diamond on the tourist map of Gdańsk.

The Lower Town, once the industrial heart of Gdańsk, is now regaining its former glory thanks to extensive revitalization efforts. This “patrimony” of the Main Town, nestled between the boulevard on the New Motława River and the green spaces along its Opływ, in close proximity to major tourist attractions, remains a rough diamond on the map of the Capital of Pomerania. Our goal was to showcase the unique character of the Lower Town – a place where tradition intertwines with modernity.

Unique Walks with Storytellers

The summer walks took place on five dates, with over 120 participants. All walks were led by local guides from the Lower Town Storytellers Association in Gdańsk: Jacek Górski, Anna Nawrocka-Morze, and Elżbieta Woroniecka. Thanks to their passion, knowledge, and incredible storytelling skills, each tour became an unforgettable journey through time.
The walks began at the Academy of Music on Łąkowa Street and ended at the “toMy” social café on Reduta Miś Street, where participants received small gifts: guidebooks about the Factory Chimney District, postcards featuring Kamienna 28, and vouchers for delicious coffee.

Thanks to participants and partners

We are incredibly grateful to all the walk participants for their active participation and keen interest in the history of Dolne Miasto. Your presence and curiosity are a huge motivation for us to organize more events of this type.

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful partners and neighbors of the Kamienna 28 development: the Dolne Miasto History Tellers Association in Gdańsk, which was the heart of this initiative.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Incubator of Neighborly Energy – ISE Dolne Miasto and the Lena Grochowska Foundation, which runs the “toMy” community café. We especially thank the entire café team, led by Aleksandra Wiśniewska, for their help in organizing the finale of each walk. We also thank ARCHE Dwór Uphagena for their help in publicizing the event.

Thanks to our collaborative work and the support of the local community, we were able to show residents and tourists from all over Poland the enormous potential of Dolne Miasto. We hope that this is just the beginning of many inspiring events that we will organize together with our neighbors in the future. Once again, we would like to thank everyone for discovering the Lower Town with us and we invite you to follow our next initiatives.

See you in Lower Town!
