Gdansk Attractions

Gdansk Pictures

There is no shortage of amazing buildings for tourists to enjoy when visiting Gdansk. Most of these buildings are from the Hanseatic League period and are situated along the Ulica Dluga or Dlugi Targ (Long Street or Long Market). This area of the city is more commonly known as the Royal Way, as it was through these streets that any kings visiting the city used to progress. Both ends of the street have magnificent city gates that are a tourist attraction in themselves. Other attractions of note on this street include the Torture House, the Prison Tower, the Main Town Hall and the Neptune Fountain. Given its strong ship-building heritage, it is unsurprising that there is a museum ship anchored on one of the many rivers. The SS Soldek is open for visitors and is permanently situated on the Motlawa River.
