Many travelers start their Old Town explorations at Długi Targ (Long Market), home to Neptune’s Fountain, the Gothic-Renaissance town hall, and a host of restaurants and bars. But a cruise along the Motława River is an equally atmospheric way to see sights such as the Crane, a medieval crane lovingly reconstructed after World War II that can lift 2.2 tons (2 tonnes) using human power alone.
Gdańsk Old Town tours can be a great way to discover more of the city’s heritage and architecture. Walking tours often focus on the historical side of things, while street food tours, craft beer crawls, and vodka tastings are a fabulous way to discover the town’s vibrant culinary scene.
