Operated by Olivia Star · Bookable on GetYourGuide

Gdansk goes vertical with dinner and jungle plants. This package pairs a 130-meter viewpoint with an Olivia Garden “tropical” stop, then ends on the 32nd floor for pizza and cocktails. It’s a high-altitude break from sightseeing, built around one simple idea: eat well, look far.

What I like most is the two-scene setup: you start mellow in the plants with a welcome Prosecco, then you go up for the skyline. I also really value the food and drink combo—pizza on the 32nd floor plus a cocktail—because you’re not paying extra to make the view part of your meal.

The main drawback to consider is location and timing: the venue sits a bit outside the old-town core, so you’ll want to plan your ride, and arrival can feel a touch unstructured if your reservation timing isn’t clear.

Key highlights to look for

Olivia Star’s 130-meter viewpoint: the skyline you’ll remember

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Olivia Star’s 130-meter viewpoint: the skyline you’ll remember
Olivia Star is the kind of place that makes you stop walking and just stare. You’re heading to the top viewpoint in Gdansk, and the big payoff is the “get your bearings fast” factor: from up there, Tricity reads like a map. The views cover Gdańsk Bay and the Hel Peninsula, and on a clear day you can pick out the major landmarks without squinting at street names.

The observation floor also works as a planning tool. If you’re doing the rest of your day by neighborhood, this is where you quickly understand where everything sits. It’s especially useful if your itinerary includes a mix of old-town wander time and waterfront time.

One more thing: the setup isn’t just for photos. Reviews repeatedly point to how the view makes the whole meal feel special, not like a standard restaurant stop. You’re eating with the horizon in your line of sight, so even if you’re not a hardcore viewpoint person, it changes the mood.

If you're still narrowing it down, here are other tours in Gdansk we've reviewed.

Olivia Garden: Prosecco time inside a real tropical plant room

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Olivia Garden: Prosecco time inside a real tropical plant room
Before you go up, you start in Olivia Garden, a tropical plant space that covers more than 800 square meters and houses about 4,000 plants from four continents. That plant count matters. It’s not a token display; it’s a full-on indoor jungle vibe where you can actually slow down.

The garden is also where you’ll get your welcome drink: a glass of Prosecco as part of the package. The idea is simple—treat the first part like a warm-up. You’ll be standing, looking around, and taking in the palm-trees-and-leaves atmosphere, then you step into the height portion of the experience.

In reviews, people describe it as a relaxed start. Some note it’s a smaller space than they expected, but that can be a plus: you’re not trapped in a long maze. It’s more like a calm pocket you can enjoy in 20–30 minutes, enough time to set the tone before the 32nd-floor meal.

Practical tip: since the welcome drink is included, give yourself a moment at the start to confirm everything is attached to your booking. One review mentions arriving with confusion and not receiving the complimentary drink, so it’s worth a quick check when you’re there.

Dinner on the 32nd floor: Italian pizza and a cocktail with gravity-defying views

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Dinner on the 32nd floor: Italian pizza and a cocktail with gravity-defying views
The heart of the package is pizza dinner on the 32nd floor of Olivia Star. You get access to the observation floor and tropical garden as part of the same booking, but the real food payoff happens up high. According to the details you can order your choice of any Italian pizza, plus a cocktail on the 32nd floor.

The “any pizza” part is underrated because it keeps the experience from feeling fixed. If you’re traveling with someone who has strong pizza preferences, you should be able to keep things easy.

On the quality side, the strongest praise is consistent: pizza is called delicious and amazing, and cocktails are described as very well made and excellent value. People also connect the food directly to the setting—pizza tastes better when the view is doing half the work. That’s not marketing fluff. On a height like this, you’re eating with a backdrop that keeps drawing your attention, so the meal feels like part of the event.

If you like cocktails, this is also a smart structure. You’re not stuck ordering only one drink and leaving. The rooftop environment encourages lingering, and reviews mention staying for extra cocktails afterward.

How the timing works (and what to do when you arrive)

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - How the timing works (and what to do when you arrive)
This isn’t listed as a strict guided tour with a hard script. It’s more like a timed-entry experience that strings together garden + viewpoint + dinner + cocktail.

The booking is valid for 1 day, and you’re asked to check availability for starting times. One review says the reservation can allow you to attend anytime between 12:00 and 20:00 after an automatic table booking. If your confirmation email doesn’t make it obvious, don’t guess when you arrive. Go to Olivia Star reception and confirm your table and your schedule.

Meeting point is straightforward: go to the Olivia Star reception. The experience ends back at the meeting point, which makes it easy to plan the rest of your evening.

My best advice for avoiding stress:

  • Arrive a little early so you can settle into Olivia Garden without feeling rushed.
  • If you’re arriving close to your meal time, start with the reception check first, then go up.

Also note that one review mentions a lack of greeting and confusion around table status. That doesn’t sound like the norm based on the overall rating, but it does suggest you should keep it simple: check in, then follow staff guidance.

Getting there from Gdańsk old town: plan the ride, not the route

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Getting there from Gdańsk old town: plan the ride, not the route
Olivia Star can be a bit out of the way if you’re staying in the historic center. One review specifically calls out that it looks like a business park location and that it’s out of town from old town.

That doesn’t mean it’s bad. It just means your experience can be smoother if you treat transportation as part of the plan. If you’re staying near Long Market or the main old-town streets, expect you’ll spend some time getting there. If you’re already doing other sights across Tricity, it may fit naturally.

If you’re deciding whether to add this experience, think like this: a viewpoint meal is at its best when you can arrive without friction. Spend a few extra minutes checking directions and transport options before you go. It’s the difference between a relaxed start and a rushed one.

If you have more than a couple days in Gdańsk, this is easier to absorb. If you only have a tight schedule, it might feel like a detour. That’s the tradeoff.

A few more Gdansk tours and experiences worth a look

Value check: why $43 can feel like a smart deal here

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Value check: why $43 can feel like a smart deal here
At $43 per person, you’re not just paying for a view. The package includes:

  • entrance ticket to the observation floor
  • entrance ticket to the tropical garden
  • a glass of Prosecco in Olivia Garden
  • pizza dinner
  • a cocktail on the 32nd floor
  • skip-the-ticket-line access

That combination is where the value comes from. Viewpoints often sell the scenery only. Here, the scenery is paired with dinner and a drink, so you’re buying one ticket that turns into a full experience. Reviews back this up by repeatedly calling it good value for money and saying nothing feels overpriced.

The best way to decide if it fits you is to ask: do you want a meal that’s part of the attraction? If yes, this works. If you only want the view and you’d rather roam with a cheaper snack plan, then you might feel the cost more.

But for most people, the package makes the math simpler than piecing it all together yourself.

Is it a tour or just dinner with a view? Know what you’re signing up for

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Is it a tour or just dinner with a view? Know what you’re signing up for
The experience is sometimes described as not really a tour in the traditional sense. It’s more a set of timed stops with food and drinks—garden, then viewpoint, then the 32nd-floor meal.

That matters if your ideal trip includes meeting people, hearing a structured narrative, and chatting in a group. If that’s your style, you might prefer a guided walk elsewhere in the city.

But if you want an easy plan with wow factor and minimal effort, this is a strong match. Reviews also mention friendly staff and good English communication, which helps keep the experience smooth even if the flow is more independent than guided.

Small practical notes: pets, accessibility, and the welcome drink

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Small practical notes: pets, accessibility, and the welcome drink
A few practical things you’ll want to know:

  • Pets aren’t allowed.
  • The venue is wheelchair accessible.
  • You skip the ticket line, which can save time when you’re just trying to get to the good part.
  • Your welcome Prosecco is included as part of Olivia Garden.

One review notes a moment where a complimentary drink wasn’t received despite being listed as included. So use common sense on arrival: confirm your drink at the start rather than assuming it’s automatic.

Also, because the venue is a bit outside the old-town core, think ahead about when you want to go back out for more food or nightlife. This experience is a built-in anchor meal.

Who should book Olivia Star in Gdańsk?

Gdańsk: Olivia Star Sky-High Views, Dinner, and Cocktails - Who should book Olivia Star in Gdańsk?
I think this package suits a few clear types of travelers:

  • Couples on a birthday or special night who want a clean plan and a view that feels like an event
  • People who want one memorable “food + skyline” stop without a complicated itinerary
  • Anyone who likes cocktails and wants the drink to be part of the setting, not an afterthought
  • Visitors who like plants and indoor atmosphere as much as outdoors

It may not be ideal if you’re hunting for a long guided tour or a group social vibe. Also consider the location if you’re staying only in the tightest old-town area and don’t want any detours.

Should you book Olivia Star?

If you’re ready to trade extra walking for a smart setup—garden Prosecco first, then skyline pizza and a cocktail—I’d say book it. For $43, you get more than a meal: you get two different atmospheres in one outing, and the view is the kind you can’t easily recreate elsewhere in Tricity.

But if you hate travel time out of the historic center or you only want a casual snack, you may find the package feels like it’s designed for an all-in-one evening. In that case, consider whether you’d rather spend that money on a guided tour or a different dinner closer to your base.

If you do book, show up, check in at Olivia Star reception, and take your time in the garden before you go up. That order is part of what makes the evening work.
