Cześć! Hello Traveler!
My name is Maciek, I'm a licensed Tricity tour guide. Join me on a stroll through history down the Royal Route and into the heart of Gdańsk's Main Town. We’ll see all the major attractions and dive deep into their fascinating stories.
This tour will focus on history, architecture, fun and interesting tidbits, with plenty of laughs along the way!
We’ll enter the Main Town like royalty - via the Royal Route, the city’s most representative street, where triumphant entries of Polish kings once took place. We’ll walk straight into the heart of the Main Town, marveling at the magnificent patrician townhouses on Long Street, stroll across one of the most beautiful markets in Europe - The Long Market, soak up the Hanseatic character of the city along the Motława River Embankment, and wander the charming little streets of the Main Town. We'll finish our journey right at the doorstep of the largest medieval brick church in the world - St. Mary's Church.
The tour is completely free, but you are more than welcome to leave a tip at the end if you enjoyed it.
