Pro tip: Buy your ticket to the castle combo with the museum nearby. It saves money and you get to skip the long line if you go right at opening.
Malbork in early fall is great, the weather was perfect for walking. Food was decent but a bit pricey, would recommend 2 days max here.
Food scene is hit or miss, some places felt touristy. Overall vibe is chill but not much nightlife, so don’t expect too much after dark.
The castle is stunning but gets crowded midday, maybe go early morning or late afternoon for better photos and less hustle.
Avoid eating right around the main square, walk a block or two out for authentic Polish meals at better prices. Taxi apps worked better than buses for getting around.
