A 130-meter-up pizza sounds unlikely. It somehow works: you start with Prosecco in Olivia Garden and thousands of plants, then head to the 32nd floor for pizza, a cocktail, and Tricity views that help you orient the whole day. The main catch is location, since this is more of a business-area stop than a walk-out-of-Old-Town kind of plan.

I like how the experience is built like a simple loop—garden first, then height—so you’re not rushing from place to place. I also appreciate the language-friendly setup, with staff able to communicate in fluent English, which makes the food and drink portion feel easy. One drawback to consider: it’s not a guided group tour with lots of interaction; it’s mostly an indoor, self-paced visit plus your meal and drinks.

Key things you’ll remember

• Olivia Garden’s tropical setup: about 800 square meters, with around 4,000 plants from 4 continents
• Skyline dining at 32nd floor: Italian pizza plus a cocktail with Gdańsk Bay and Hel Peninsula views
• A built-in start to sightseeing: the observation floor helps you map out the Tricity
• Skip-the-line entry: you’re not stuck waiting just to get inside
• Good value for the views: solid food and cocktails in a setting that’s hard to beat

Olivia Garden first: Prosecco and 4,000 tropical plants in Gdańsk

If you’ve ever wanted a mood reset between sightseeing spots, Olivia Garden does that fast. You’ll begin at the Olivia Star reception, then step into an indoor tropical garden space designed for slow strolling and relaxed photos.

The biggest reason I like this start is the contrast. Before you go up high, you get a warm, plant-filled environment—about 800 square meters with roughly 4,000 tropical plants from 4 continents. It feels like you’ve stepped into another climate without leaving the Tricity.

You’ll be served a welcome glass of Prosecco in Olivia Garden as part of the package. The vibe is casual: think “cool-down break” more than fancy ceremony. One small practical note from real-world visits: on some days, it can be easy to miss details like the welcome drink if staff are moving quickly—so when you check in, I’d quietly confirm it’s marked as included.

The garden itself is not trying to be huge. You can cover it without feeling trapped for hours, which is ideal if you’re on a one-day schedule in Gdańsk. If you’re the type who likes plants but hates long waits, this is a nice middle ground.

Pizza on the 32nd floor: Italian comfort with a skyline soundtrack

After the garden, you head up to the 32nd-floor area for your meal and drink. This is the part people talk about for a reason: pizza while you’re 130 meters above the ground changes the whole feel of dinner.

Your dinner includes your choice of any Italian pizza, which keeps things simple if you don’t want to think too hard about menu options. You’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all dish; you can match your pizza choice to your appetite and your mood—especially helpful if you’re sharing with someone who likes different styles.

What really makes it worth it is how the view turns the meal into a “moment.” At this height, the city reads differently. You see the coastline feel of Gdańsk, you get the bigger shape of the Tricity, and you understand how the neighborhoods relate to the bay and the harbor.

If you’re thinking about timing, aim for a slot when you’ll have light in the sky. Even without promising a specific sunset, going at a time with decent daylight usually makes the skyline portion more rewarding. And since the package includes both the garden and the observation experience, you get two different atmospheres without adding extra planning.

The observation floor: get your bearings across Gdańsk and the Hel Peninsula

Your ticket includes entry to the observation floor, so you’re not just dining at height—you’re also there for the views. From up there, you can admire key landmarks across the Tricity area, plus the Gdańsk Bay and the Hel Peninsula.

I love observation decks for one specific reason: they help you connect what you saw on the map with what you actually walked. When you can zoom out and see the layout, your next sightseeing stops make more sense. It turns “I went there” into “I understand where everything fits.”

The views are also a good check-in point for your itinerary. If your day has a few different directions—coastline sights, city-center sights, maybe some longer walks—the observation floor gives you a fast orientation. That means less guessing and more confident route planning.

One thing to keep in mind: views depend on weather. If it’s rainy or foggy, you might still enjoy the space, but the far-distance look won’t be as crisp. If the forecast looks changeable, you might prefer an earlier slot so you’re not stuck with the worst visibility.

Cocktails on Olivia Star: when the drink comes with the view

Your package includes a cocktail on the 32nd floor. In plain terms: this is where you relax after the meal and let the height do its job.

People consistently highlight the quality of the cocktails, so I’d treat this as part of the main event—not an afterthought add-on. If you like classic cocktail time, you’ll probably enjoy having it paired with a panoramic backdrop instead of trying to find a bar with the right vibe.

Because the garden comes first and the meal follows, the pacing naturally builds toward a slow finish. That matters. If you’re doing Gdańsk in a day, you need at least one planned “sit-down, look-around” block that doesn’t involve trains, long walks, or constant decision-making.

Also, if you’re celebrating—birthdays show up a lot in similar experiences—this setup is easy to enjoy. You don’t need a big script. You just eat, drink, and take in the view while everyone’s relaxed.

Getting there from Old Town: plan for the extra travel time

Here’s the practical reality check: Olivia Star isn’t right in the historical core. One common theme from real visits is that it can feel out of the way if you’re staying in or near the old town area.

That doesn’t make it bad. It just changes the planning. If you want to minimize rides and keep everything walkable, this might feel like an extra trip. If you’re staying longer, or you’re fine with a short transfer in exchange for a truly unusual experience, it can be a great use of your time.

My advice: treat it as a planned anchor. Don’t tack it onto a day that already has too much moving around. Pair it with a light schedule before or after, so the travel time doesn’t squeeze the fun out of the experience.

And if you’re traveling by taxi or rideshare, keep your return plan simple. The activity ends back at the meeting point, so you’ll want to be able to get back without hunting for transport right at the end of your meal.

Value and comfort: what $43 buys (and what it doesn’t)

At about $43 per person, this package is priced like a “views plus food plus drink” experience. And for many people, that’s exactly what they’re paying for: not just pizza, but pizza with a high-up perspective plus a cocktail.

You’re getting multiple included elements in one place:

• Entrance tickets for the observation floor and the tropical garden
• A welcome Prosecco in Olivia Garden
• Pizza dinner (your choice of Italian pizza)
• A cocktail on the 32nd floor

That combination is the value story. If you tried to replicate it yourself—separate attraction tickets, a top-floor meal, and a cocktail at a premium view location—you’d likely spend more time and money piecing it together.

Where the package isn’t trying to be anything else: it’s not a full guided tour with a group agenda. It’s a straightforward program built around visiting the garden, dining at height, and enjoying the views. If you’re looking for lots of narration or group mingling, you may find it more like a well-planned “activity block” than a social tour.

Also: pets are not allowed. If you’re traveling with an animal, you’ll need a different plan.

Who should book Olivia Star, and who might skip it

This is an easy win if you want:

• Big views without complicated logistics
• A relaxed break that includes both plants and skyline time
• A straightforward food-and-drink experience that’s good for couples, dates, and casual celebrations

You might consider skipping (or replacing it) if:

• You’re staying deep in the old town and you want everything walkable
• You want a group tour with lots of interaction and structured commentary

If your Gdańsk day is already packed with the usual sightseeing, this can still work well because the experience gives you a different kind of “sight”—the wide-angle version. And it’s especially good as a mental reset before you head back into streets and monuments.

Should you book Olivia Star? My take

Yes, I think you should book it if you want a memorable afternoon with minimal decision-making. You get a welcome drink in a genuinely unusual setting, then you move to one of the best payoff moments in Gdańsk: pizza and a cocktail with serious height and coastline views.

If you’re sensitive to extra travel time and prefer staying strictly in the old town bubble, plan your transport carefully and don’t treat this like a quick stop between nearby sights. But if you’re happy to make it an anchor, it’s a strong-value choice for the Tricity.
