Welcome to Malbork
 The
Malbork Castle - former capital of Teutonic Order's state
- is one of the best known tourist attractions in Poland
and Europe. The beauty and uniqueness of its architecture
as well as its interesting history are the reasons for which
over half a million tourists enter the Malbork Castle Museum
every year and more than 700000 tourists visit our town.
In 1997 the castle was inscribed on the prestigious UNESCO
World Heritage List.
 Presence
of such an important monument obligates the town authorities
to undertake many ventures connected with tourism. The town
center is now being rebuilt. The purpose is to create a
zone of high quality tourist services in the castles neighbourhood.
Therefore, the town is realizing investments which are supposed
to improve tourist infrastructure in the town center and
surroundings. In two years' time those who have visited
the Malbork town before will not recognize its center, for
the huge changes are going to be introduced here. A promenade
reach in greenery, with a fountain and stylized small architecture,
modern four-stars hotel with SPA center, restaurants and
cafes - these are only some of the changes we plan to implement.
One of the most important investments in town is renovation
of the old building in the town center in order to create
a professional center of tourist services Malbork Welcome
Center. The MWC is a result of a project co-financed by
the EU funds. Three basic parts of the institution are:
- Center of Tourist Services and Cooperation with the
Tourist Branch;
- The Office of Towns Culture and Tourism Promotion;
- The Office of Events Marketing;
Malbork Welcome Center cooperates with the
Malbork Castle Museum while organizing one of the most important
cultural events in Poland - "The Siege of Malbork".
A meeting with knights, craftsmen and traders from around
the world, old weapons, archery tournaments, old music,
knights fights and a night battle with participation of
few hundred knights - that's what "The Siege of Malbork"
is about. All attractions of the event make over 100000
tourist visit Malbork on the third weekend of July every
year. This year we want to invite you to join us during
the 9th edition of the event.
Come to Malbork and find out for yourself
why it's worth staying here longer...
