Nowy Dwór Gdański is called the ‘Capital of Żuławy’ because of its location in the centre of the Vistula Żuławy. Its location in the arms of the Vistula and the Nogat rivers creates the perfect conditions for fishing, water tourism and water sports.

Lowlands and the lack of natural hills mean the Żuławy in many places lies in areas of depression. Near Nowy Dwór Gdański is the village of Raczki Elbląskie which is the lowest point in Poland (1.8 meters below sea level). There is a lot of interesting architecture in the area, the legacy of the former inhabitants of these lands, including the characteristic arcaded houses of ‘zagrody żuławskie’ and hydraulic structures such as sluices, pumping stations and a drawbridge over the river Tuga. An important part of the village, are Gothic churches built in the late Middle Ages and Mennonite cemeteries, the remains of which can still be found in some villages.
