Gdansk is a historical city, the biggest economic, academic and cultural centre on the coast of Poland. Gdansk is the Polish maritime capital and lies on the bay of Gdansk and on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea.

The city is a thousand years old and, as well as its history and beautiful architecture, it has many museums and art galleries, illuminating the city’s culture and history. The city has countless monuments, mostly located in the Old Town, but also in the suburbs. The most beautiful and popular streets of Gdansk are Long Street and The Long Market. These streets are often busy and are a thriving, vibrant hub of activity, full of locals as well as tourists. Here you can find the famous Neptune Fountain - the symbol of Gdansk, The Artus Court and the Main City Hall - the former seat of the Gdansk authorities. Long Street and The Long Market are the ideal place to begin sightseeing in Gdansk, admiring the Old Town and its surrounding streets. Do not miss St. Mary's Street, which leads from St. Mary's Church to the medieval St. Mary's Gate. The street is one of Gdansk’s real gems.

Crane over the Motlawa River (0.8 km) - The crane once played a dual role as a port crane and as Gdansk’s city gate. It has been in its present form since 1442-1444. The machinery of the crane is driven by a huge wooden wheel inside it, which was powered by men walking on it, like a giant hamster wheel. The crane was not only used to unload and reload cargo, it was also used to put up ships’ masts.
