We opted for an excursion: Gdansk on your own. Bus trip there and back with a visit time of 4 hours. We saw the Neptune Fountain, the Golden Gate structure, the Prison Tower and St. Mary's Basilica. Enjoyed this excursion as much as the price was reasonable. ...
The Princess description said we'd see the old city and two specific churches--I especially like visiting old churches. We saw only one, and then at 12:15pm the tour guide said "and the next 2.5 hours are on your own; meet back here at 2:45. This is not a guided tour.

Two special churches are worth a visit, we thought. ...
