Best Free Self-Guided Walking Tour of Gdansk, Poland

By Author Paulina

Posted on Published: October 3, 2018  - Last updated: November 9, 2022

Free walking tour incl. Danzig guide to see the best of Gdansk, Poland in one day!

Gdansk is becoming quickly the most visited city in Poland after Krakow. Due to its extraordinary beauty it has been voted several time as a destination of the year and is thus an absolute must-do when traveling to Poland. Many people even take a tour to Gdansk for the day from other cities, but if you can stay longer, you should!

The city is so full of history and sights that you can easily spend more than 2 days in Gdansk. On top, there is a wide range of day trips from Gdansk that you can choose from.

This post is how to visit the town with a self-guided free walking tour of Gdansk – and how to see the best of Gdansk in one day !

There are a few free walking tours Gdansk offers. But, they are tip based, and so technically not free. If you are on a budget and looking for a truly free walking tour of Gdansk, I will show you how to do it.

This self-guided free walking tour of Gdansk , or Danzig as it was known in German, will take you to many of the highlights and attractions that you must see when visiting Gdansk. This tour is designed to help you see the top sites in Gdansk in one day, and includes a lunch and dinner recommendation.

This walking tour is foreseen to be done at daylight, however I strongly recommend to re-do the first part of this Gdansk city tour in the evening, when it’s dark.

At night Gdansk has a magic of its own and it’s paradise for photography lovers. Gdansk is the largest city of the Kashubian Switzerland, the ideal setting for slow and sustainable travel through Pomerania .

You can find a Gdansk free walking tour map at the end of the post!

Where to stay in Gdansk, Poland

It’s key to have your hotel as close to the city center as possible so that you don’t need to take any public transportation.

1. Royal Route and Long Market Gdansk

Let’s start our free walking tour Gdansk at the Long Market ( Dlugi Targ ), the heart of Gdansk. It used to be the nerval center of the town and the place where the main city market was held.

Book here your walking tours of Gdansk

The street that leads from one from Golden Gate to Green Gate, is also known as the Royal Route. Only the wealthiest merchants and patricians could afford to live here.

Like in other towns with Flemish heritage, you needed to pay higher taxes the more windows you have. Thus the more windows, the richer the owner of the house. 

The oldest house on the Royal Route dates back to the Middle Ages. Gdansk has been entirely destroyed during the Second World War, however the old town has been reconstructed during the communist regime and some parts of the outskirts are still under construction. 

Nowadays the Royal Route is considered one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in Europe .

2. Neptune Fountain

The Neptune Fountain is situated since 1633 on the Long Market in front of the Artus Court and has become the symbol of Gdansk. The statue was made by a Flemish artist and is one of the oldest monuments of Gdansk. It’s a perfect meeting point as well before starting your free walking tour of Gdansk.

Book here your walking tours in Gdansk

The legend says that Neptune created Gdansk’s famous herbal liquor “ Goldwasser ”. Apparently he got angry because the extremely rich citizens of Gdansk (10% of the population were billionaires in Gdansk best times!!) kept throwing golden coins in the fountain.

With his trident he moved the water so much that all the gold fell into pieces and created the golden flakes that are typical for Goldwasser. 

Just in front of the Neptune fountain you’ll spot the Fahrenheit monument that was built to honor Daniel Fahrenheit that was born in Gdansk in 1686. It is considered one of the top places to visit in Gdansk.

3. Gdansk Main Town Hall

The Main Town Hall, next to Neptune fountain, dominates the skyline of Gdansk. It is one of the major attractions and has been rebuilt in Renaissance style after a fire. It’s interior is inspired by Dutch mannerism and certifies the important role of Gdansk in Europe and the worlds.

From the observatory you’ll enjoy a gorgeous view and hear the music from the bells ringing every hour.  

From here it’s only a stone’s throw to the Golden House, one of the most beautiful buildings in Gdansk built in 1609. The richly decorated facade and the sculptural decorations create one of the most stunning house fronts in Gdansk.

4. Green Gate of Gdansk

Head towards the Green Gate (which is not green but rather orange) to continue your free walking tour.  

The Green Gate has been inspired by Antwerp City Hall and marks the eastern end of the Long Market and Royal Route. It is a yet another evidence for the Flemish and Dutch heritage and legacy of the Polish town.  

Cross the bridge across the River Motława and turn left immediately towards the end of the bridge on Chmielna road to approach the Crane from the opposite river bank.

5. The Crane

The Crane on the Motlawa river bank became one of Gdansk’s symbols and is represented on almost any postcard. It is easy to spot as it sticks out among all other houses. 

The crane is the largest wooden crane in Europe and handled cargo coming from the sea. You can still visit the driving mechanism which needed several man to make it work. Nowadays the crane hosts the National Maritime Museum. 

The crane is a popular photomotive of every Gdansk walking tour and you’ll get your best shot from the other side of the river.

6. Gdansk Marina and Lunch Stop

Continue the side paths along the river (streets names: Pożarnicza and Motławska ) and walk along the marina of Gdansk until you reach the next bridge ( Stągiewna street).  

Book here a food tour of Gdansk

After my boat hitchhiking adventure , I am obsessed with spotting boats and there were quite a few gorgeous boat models in the harbor. They made me daydream about a sailing trip on the Baltic Sea.   

In this Gdansk free tour, you’ll walk along buildings that are being renovated or even rebuilt in the traditional style.  

At Stągiewna street you’ll stand in front of the Milk Can Gate, part of the fortifications and an important entrance gate. 

It’s time to indulge in some typical Pomeranian food but with a modern twist. I recommend the restaurant Dancing Anchor at the Puro Gdansk Stare Miasto **** . It’s not only a very stylish place to stay at , but also the restaurant is absolutely top-notch when it comes to food and intriguing interior design. They serve Polish-Asian fusion cuisine and it’s one of the top places to eat in Gdansk.

7. St. Mary Street (Mariacka Street)

From Puro Gdansk Stare Miasto **** cross the bridge towards the Green Gate again. However you bend left to continue your the self-guided walking tour of Gdansk and continue along the river on Długie Pobrzeże street. The street is considered one of the top things to see in Gdansk.

Book here guided city tours Gdansk

After the Gdansk Archaeological Museum turn left and you’ll stand at the beginning of Gdansk’s quaintest street: Mariacka .  You’ll enter street by passing below the medieval St. Mary’s gate  and it ends at the St. Mary’s church. 

Every single house of St. Mary’s street is absolutely gorgeous: entrances are terraced but narrow and the richly decorated house fronts testify the wealth of their former owners. No wonder that the street has inspired several painters and was a movie setting for several films.  

Formerly Mariacka street was mostly inhabited by merchants and goldsmiths, nowadays it’s packed with amber shops. The Amber museum and amber souvenir shopping are some of the top things to do in Gdansk. 

Book here walking tours in Gdansk

8. St. Mary Basilica

Cross St.Mary street until you reach St. Mary church, the largest brick church in the world. The church was used by Catholics and protestants. It’s interior is bright white nowadays and forms a welcoming light contrast to the massive, heavy impression that you get from the outside.

The main tower is 77 metres high and after climbing the 400 steps you’ll enjoy one of the best panorama views on Gdansk. It’s a mandatory stop on every Gdansk walking tour. 

Next to St.Mary Basilica is the Royal Chapel, a baroque beauty which is often overseen next to the towering basilica. However it is an absolutely beautiful building to be visited.

9.  Academy of Fine Arts and Golden Gate Gdansk

Walk from the St. Mary Basilica through Piwna street which is packed with numerous terraces in summer. The street ends at the impressive house front of the Academy of Fine Arts. To me, this place was one of the most beautiful corners in Gdansk.

Turn left and you’ll find yourself at the Golden Gate ( Złota Brama ) from which you’ll enjoy a gorgeous view on the Town Hall and the Royal Route. The gate was built in the Renaissance style in 1612 and the statues represent an allegory of citizen’s virtues: Prudence, Justice, Piety and Harmony.

Continue the walking tour by passing through the Golden Gate which will lead you to the tower of the former prison of Gdansk.

10. St. Catherine’s Church

From the massive former prison tower, turn right to Targ Węglowy street. It will lead you in about 10 minutes to St. Catherine’s church which is the oldest parish church of the Old Town . It was built in 1227 but it was completely destroyed during the Second World War.

Fully rebuilt in the after-war years, the church nowadays hosts paintings by by Anton Möller and Izaak van den Blocke. The 76 metres high towers host a carillon and a museum of tower clocks.

11. Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers

From the emblematic St. Catherine’s church, it is only a stone’s throw (or 12 minutes) to the Monument of the Fallen Shipyard Workers. The impressive monument stands in front of the Solidarnosc European Center and at the former entrance gate to the shipyards of Gdansk.

Book here your Gdansk Solidanosc Tour

More than 40.000 people used to work in the shipyards of Gdansk, which was one of the most important European harbors at that time . The imposing crosses with anchors have been built to commemorate the victims of the bloody workers’ strikes in December 1970.

The monument was finished in 1980 and was one of the most important postulates from the workers who fought for their rights. The memorial is considered one of the top things to see in Gdansk.

It’s actually the first monument to the victims of communist oppression to be erected in a communist country. It is one of the best ways to engage your self-guided free walking tour in Gdansk.

12. European Solidarity Centre

Visiting the European Solidarity Centre in Gdansk is an absolute must do when traveling to Gdansk.

It is not necessary to be a history buff in order to visit, in my opinion, a visit to the museum about Solidarnsc movement and the bloody strikes in December 1970 are an investment in your general knowledge and an essential lesson about how every single person can contribute to change. All you need to do is take action!

The building itself is stunning and although it looks quite massive from the outside, it is very light and green inside. It’s full of trees and plants.

The European Solidarity Centre is much more than a museum to this tragic episode of history, it holds the Solidarnosc offices where Lech Wałęsa is still working today, a library, archives, a winter garden, a bar… The center is actually an open meeting space for young and old.

The permanent exhibition is organized in a very interactive and realistic way. There is original footage on the negotiations between the communist regime and the dockers.

Original communist-era apartment interiors have been rebuilt and interrogation and prison cells as well. The museum thus provides a rare, realistic insight in the oppressive system of the communist regime. I definitely learned a lot during my visit.

I particularly liked the hall dedicated to the individual backgrounds of the strikers and the implication of Pope John Paul II in the transformative process.

It’s an absolutely unmissable experience when visiting Gdansk, calculate at least 2 hours.

13. A Local’s Tip: Panorama view from Gradowa Hill

In case you still have some energy left, I absolutely recommend to visit Gradowa Hill to enjoy one of the best panorama views on Gdansk and the immense area of the shipyards. According to our guide Michal, you haven’t seen Gdansk, if you haven’t been to Gradowa Hill.

Book here a walking tour of Gdansk

Gradowa Hill is located 20 minutes by walking from the European Solidarity Center.

The hill hosts the a 19th century fort and a large cross which illuminated at night. Some of the buildings on the hill are still used for military purposes and visiting the museums might be a good option in case you’re interested in military history. 

On the same area you’ll find a interactive science center, the Hawelianum Center , named after the Polish astronom.

Don’t forget to reserve at least one day for a  day trip from Gdansk .

14. Celebrate Polish Style in Gdansk

After visiting the most important attractions of Gdansk, I bet you’ll want to experience Polish hospitality and sense for celebrating food and drinks.

So , why don’t you finish your day with a Food Tour through Gdansk best restaurants or enjoy a local Vodka Tasting ?

I hope some of these, admittedly very personal, highlights of my visit to Gdansk, Poland , could convince you to include Gdansk in your travel plans. I’m biased, but I think this is the best guided tour in Gdansk to do by yourself, and I hope it helps you!

The best free walking tours and paid tours in Berlin by Walkative guides.

Tours in berlin pay what you wish tours.

What to see in Berlin?

Berlin is Germany’s capital and largest city, and one of the most important destinations in the whole of Europe. With its rich history, interesting architecture and delicious local cuisine, it attracts millions of tourists from all over the world every year. If you don’t know which of the many sights are worth visiting on your trip to Berlin, you can opt to take a so-called free walking tour with an experienced guide . Let yourself be taken to the most beautiful corners of the city! What will you see?

The most important and recognisable building in Berlin is the famous Brandenburg Gate. It was erected in the 18th century as a symbol of peace and freedom. Supported by massive 15-metre high columns, the structure is crowned by a beautiful sculpture. It depicts Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, in a carriage drawn by four speeding horses. The monument has even been immortalised on German coins. Definitely a must-see at least once in a lifetime!

What shouldn’t you miss on a trip to Berlin?

However, the Brandenburg Gate is not the only thing worth seeing while visiting Berlin. Other notable sights include the Reichstag, which is the seat of the Bundestag – one of the chambers of the German parliament, the Victory Column, and the remains of the Berlin Wall. This symbol of the Cold War divided Europe for almost thirty years, marking the border between West and East Berlin.

During a trip to Berlin, the so-called Red City Hall is also a must-see. It is a true architectural gem! This neo-Renaissance building with a distinctive tower is the seat of the city mayor. Also within walking distance (about 10 minutes on foot) from the city hall is the impressive Berliner Dom cathedral with its magnificent domes and turrets towering over the city. Berlin’s most beautiful buildings also include Charlottenburg Palace.

Architecture lovers will also be delighted by the 19th century Evangelical Memorial Church. Although the building suffered damage during the Second World War, it is still possible to admire the surviving part and the geometric blocks of the new church built right next to it. The New Synagogue in Oranienburger Straße is also worth a visit. It is a building with a rich history, an interesting façade and domes that look beautiful in photographs – especially on a sunny day.

We had just one day in Wroclaw and a decision to join Walkative tours was the right one! These guys are amazing! Their stories are very informative, full of history, legends, funny jokes! They took us to all astonishing places of Wroclaw. Perfect for a day trip to this lovely city! Thank you, Lukasz and Matt for the brilliant tours!

Dawie’s tour was the best theatre in Paris as well as informative!!!! He is great – even in the rain. Do it.

My group really enjoyed the amount of history explained in the tour, it was a nice way to get a lot of information on several of the key sites in the center of Paris in a compact amount of time. Excellent for orientation and background. I would certainly do other tours in the future.
