- Walk the length of Dlugi Targ. Dlugi Targ, also known as the Long Market or Royal Way, is the main thoroughfare through Gdansk. The entire street is only 500 meters long, so you can walk it in just 10 minutes, but for the best experience, there are some things to stop and see along the way.
- The Main Town Hall (Ratusz Glownego Miasta) The Main Town Hall is located on Dlugi Targ, next to the Neptune fountain. Just look for the green, Gothic clock tower and you are in the right place.
- St. Mary’s Church. St. Mary’s Church dominates the old town of Gdansk. It is one of the largest brick churches in the world. As far as churches and cathedrals go, it ranks low in beauty and grandeur (in my opinion).
- The Waterfront and Motlawa River. This is just as nice (and maybe even better) than Dlugi Targ for a nice stroll. For the best views (and just a little more walking), I recommend walking down both sides of the Motlawa River.
- Trakt Królewski (Royal Way) To cut to Gdańsk’s core and see a host of top monuments in one walk, take this horizontal route east towards Motlawa River between two city gates.
- St Mary’s Church. This humungous Gothic church was started in the 14th century and, with a volume of up to 190,000 cubic metres, is counted among the three largest brick-built churches in the world.
- Neptune’s Fountain. On Long Market, a few steps from the Artus Court is an enduring symbol for Gdańsk. Neptune’s Fountain is a Mannerist monument cast in bronze in the city in 1615, but wouldn’t be installed for another 18 years.
- Golden House. Staying on the Long Market, two doors to the right of the Artus Court is a building often lauded as the most beautiful in the city. It’s not easy to disagree when you glimpse the white and gold facade.
