The photogenic city of Malbork, Poland, 25 mi/40 km southeast of Gdansk and 150 mi/242 km northwest of Warsaw, is the home of the Castle of the Order of Teutonic Knights, a huge, well-preserved medieval fortress.
The 13th-century Gothic structure (Europe's largest brick fortress) housed more than 700 knights and thousands of attendants. Inside is a wonderful amber museum. We suggest planning a half-day there. http://www.zamek.malbork.pl.
