Malbork castle is pretty much all this place has going for it. It's clearly the economic driver, but I don't get the feeling anyone local much cares or notices. The surrounding town is dismal. I stayed overnight. If I were going to do it over, I would try to organize it as a daytrip from Gdańsk and pack a lunch. 3-5 hours around the castle is enough. Skip the town and the kitschy restos altogether.

If you are interested in history and chivalry, then you should definitely visit Malbork. Here is the largest brick castle in Europe. The town itself is small, and in addition to the castle, another important object is the sugar factory. However, I do not think this is a tourist attraction. From my point of view, Malbork needs two days. On the first day, come, check in and take a walk around the city, eat and relax. The second day to play at the castle. The best season to visit is summer. In the summer, many events take place in Malbork, summer cafes unfold, many guests in the city, so this is the best time.

The castle is so well organised for viewing. The best audio guide I have ever used! And it’s very good value for money in comparison to the UK Malbork is easy to walk around, lots of dining opportunities. I ate vegetarian so that was somewhat limiting. Travel to Gdansk and the seaside at Sopot very good from this accom with a minor rail station 10 mins walk. Travel is cheap in comparison to the UK too

Castle is much bigger than you can imagine. Reserve enough time. Good guide will show plenty of details which might be easily missed. Numerous town buildings which you can find in different Malbork/Marienburg sites still could be found in the same shape.

Malbork it’s a small clean city there is plenty of restaurants and food it is very nice we have ate in Karolinka restaurant and directly in castle restaurant ( food was amazing long wait -40 min but well worth it !!!) ... for people who love history obviously castle to explore and for families entertainment parks ...truly enjoyed it town is very small so everything is in walking distance

The water fountain in the center is pretty at night. We were just there for the castle and it was amazing. It is huge!! We spent 5 hrs there walking inside and around the outside of the castle and we could have been there even longer. The audio guide was very informative. We were traveling with family from Poland so having the availability to stay together and each listen to everything in our native language was awesome. We also ate in the castle at one of the restaurants. The food was good but slightly overpriced. The kids loved getting a souvenir at one of the many tents outside the castle. On the other side of the river right next to the foot bridge is a great restaurant. Food was good and reasonably priced. And you get a great view of the castle as you sit by the water and eat.
