★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 360 reviews · 50 min · from $29

Hear Chopin and great classical composers by candlelight in Gdansk’s Gothic St. Catherine’s Church during this intimate 50-minute concert.

I will say spending extra for VIP seating probably isnt worth it as people were moving up closer when they realised not many had booked to sit in the first two rows.”
