Discover the maritime charm and medieval grandeur of Gdańsk on this 3-hour private walking tour through one of Europe’s most beautiful historical centres. Blending Hanseatic heritage with colourful merchant houses and Baltic vibes, this tour takes you deep into the heart of the city’s Old Town.

We start at the Upland Gate and walk the Royal Route past the Golden Gate, Town Hall, Neptune Fountain, and the iconic St. Mary’s Basilica — one of the largest brick churches in the world. Stroll down the picturesque Mariacka Street, known for its amber shops and ornate façades. Then continue to the historic Market Hall (Hala Targowa) and churches of St. Catherine and St. Bridget.

Crossing over to the Motława River promenade, we pass the medieval Gdańsk Crane, the Traders’ Gate, and the historic Fish Market. The route includes modern contrasts too, like the Gdańsk Ferris Wheel and the red-brick Baltic Philharmonic.
