Hi David, I have checked the link to their website and it works fine for me. It is zamek.malbork.pl if you are having any probs - and they have a section in English too.

The castle itself is one of those most stunning I have seen anywhere & well worth a visit,( I speak as a very well-travelled person) but for those who speak no Polish, bee warned that you need to purchase a guide in your own language before entering the castle as there are no other language signs or indications available. I had taken the time from a recent business trip to travel the distance from Warsaw especially to see it, but fortunately the unhelpful & uncaring museum staff failed to completely spoil my enjoyment of such a splendid place. Speaking to other nationalities, during my visit, who also endured the same bad behaviour, I can only hope that the local tourist office can take some time to put at least some signs (words not even necessary) for foreigners & train their staff to behave with politeness towards their visitors. Possibly it's only independent visitors they resent, but sometimes it's not possible to visit in a group, for history enthusiasts such as myself!!!

Yes! I agree. We went on a 10 day Baltic cruise and this was the most interesting and enjoyable day we spent. It rained all day, but we did not care. Malbork Castle was FANTASTIC. The old part of Gdansk has been refurbished and the shops were not only beautiful outside but also inside. Plus the shopping was excellent. Some cruises are dropping this port and I think it's a shame. If you can get to this area, be sure to visit both places.

Don't deny that Wales has some fine castles, but surely what makes this fascinating to those of us further West, is the fact that its red brick. And of course that it was the seat of the Teutonic Knights. A real feast for the eyes.

This castle is indeed nice but please remember it is made pout of brick. If you want to see some fine castles, I'm absolutely positive that the UK/Wales has some of the best in the world

Gdansk is one of the finest cities in Europe and Malbork is the frosting on the cake! If you haven't seen either site, you haven't seen Europe!

Amazing. Apparently, the Hitler Youth used to make pilgrimages here from across Germany, this being the seat of the Teutonic knights. They had special ceremonies.

what information were You looking for? I had no problems :)

Getting to Malbork from Gdansk is easy. Make sure you know how to ask for 2 train tickets!!! You can get off the train outside the castle, but this is the stop before the main Malbork station. The staions are badly sign posted so keep an eye out. Only 10 Zloty on the train from Gdansk. Once there it is 25zloty to get in. The signs were really poor inside. We had no idea which door to go through, however this turned into a bit of a game by the end to see who could find a door that would open!!! Once you do find an open door it is well worth it.
