2

Main Town Hall - Museum of Gdansk

Stand before the Gothic-Renaissance command center where mayors once ran the city like a theatrical production, complete with carillon bells, secret exits, and a golden king riding the wind atop the spire.

3
Neptune's Fountain (Fontanna Neptuna)

Pause at the bronze sea god who waited twenty years to be installed, judged centuries of merchants, survived a war in storage, and allegedly once turned his fountain into gold-flecked vodka.

Duration 12 minutes
4
Artus Court

Look up at the merchant palace where wealthy guild members drank, negotiated, and occasionally scandalized the clergy — a Renaissance clubhouse disguised as a royal hall.

5
St. Mary's Church

Admire the world’s largest brick church, a Gothic heavyweight rebuilt after wartime ruin, home to a legendary astronomical clock and 400 steps of pure cardio in its tower.

6

Mariacka Street (Ulica Mariacka)

Walk down the city’s amber runway, lined with elegant terraces, carved gargoyles, and shops that still trade in warm Baltic resin and centuries-old charm.

Duration 12 minutes
7
Green Gate (Brama Zielona)

Pass under the riverside arch built for visiting kings who almost never stayed — now a photogenic bridge between the Long Market and the Motlawa waterfront.

Duration 12 minutes
8

Crane. Branch of the National Martime Museum

Wrap up your tour at the medieval Crane. Take a moment to face the wooden giant once powered by men walking inside treadwheels, Gdansk’s most dramatic symbol of human-powered engineering.
