Overview

Our guide will be waiting for you with your name by the main entrance of the Golden Gate in the Old Town (Długa 1, 22-100 Gdańsk) and invite you for the fully private sightseeing.
The charm of Old Town Gdansk attracts millions of tourists each year. We will start by taking a walk down Długa Street, which is one of the most beautiful European markets that is nestled around a dazzling selection of renaissance buildings. It leaves from the Golden Gate and passes by the Town Hall, Neptune fountain, Arthur's Court and finishes by the Green Gate overlooking the Motława River. On a way you may visit The Museum of Arthur's Court and the Amber Chamber at which point, you will see an amber polishing demonstration with a short lecture on amber. The tour continues to the Old Crane, which happens to be one of the most popular symbols of the city.  After that, the tour finishes at the church of St Mary, Europe's biggest gothic brick church.

Old Town

The city's history is complex, with periods of Polish, Prussian and German rule, and periods of autonomy or self-rule as a free city state. In the early-modern age, Gdańsk was a royal city of Poland. It was considered the wealthiest and the largest city of Poland, before the 18th century rapid growth of Warsaw. In the late Middle Ages it was an important seaport and shipbuilding town and, in the 14th and 15th centuries, a member of the Hanseatic League. The area of Old Town is just a part of historic city centre, but still allows us to understand and appreciate the glory and importance of Gdansk as medieval city. A walk along cobblestoned streets and the historical waterfront is a chance to discover the city’s history and to see technological wonders of the 14th century.

Dlugi Targ Square

Dluga and Dlugi Targ (its extension) Streets are also known as the Royal Route, since it was once the former path of processions for visiting Kings of Poland, and rank among the most beautiful streets in Gdansk. This charming pedestrian thoroughfare is surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical style (primarily from 17th century) and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates. It leaves from the Golden Gate and passes by the Town Hall, Neptune fountain and Arthur's Court, the former meeting place of the city’s merchants, now a branch of the Gdansk History Museum. The street finishes by the Green Gate overlooking the Motlawa River. This area was once inhabited by patricians, which is why the houses are richly ornamented with crests, allegoric figures and images of ancient heroes.

Neptune's Fountain (Fontanna Neptuna)

The Neptune Fountain has stood in front of the Artus Court since 1633 and is seen as a symbol of Gdansk. It was built on the initiative of Mayor Bartłomiej Schachmann, and the town council. The sculpture on which the fountain is based represents Neptune. It was designed by Abraham van den Blocke and cast in bronze in 1615 by Peter Husen and Johann Rogge in Augsburg. In the second half of the 18th century the fountain base was renovated in the rococo style and a large array of sea creatures were added. People say that tossing a coin into the fountain brings luck.

The Crane, built in the first half of the 15th century between the pylons of Brama Szeroka (the Wide Gate), became the city's symbol. In the Middle Ages it was the largest port crane in Europe, used for moving goods and raising ship masts. It was able to lift 4 tons to an altitude of 36 feet, and was powered by workers walking inside two tread wheels. The crane is currently part of the National Maritime Museum.
