Długi Targ — Attraction in Gdansk

One of the must-see places in Gdańsk. Długi Targ is an extension of the same-named street, forming together the so-called Royal Route. It also serves as Gdańsk's main market square. Its most distinctive feature is the 17th-century Neptune's Fountain, standing near the Artus Court and the Main City Hall, which marks the boundary between the market square and Długa Street. To the east, it is bordered by the largest Green Gate in Gdańsk, which leads to the Green Bridge across the Old Motława River - another must-see tourist attraction.

The surrounding Baroque townhouses house mainly restaurants, cafes, and bars.

Despite the large amount of cobblestones and the limited greenery for such a large area (which, in my opinion, is always a drawback), I believe that the rather unique type of townhouses and the elongated shape of Długi Targ make it a very nice market square, standing out from other popular destinations like Kraków or Wrocław.

Long Market Square is the vibrant heart of Gdańsk and easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Poland. Lined with colorful, historic buildings and filled with street performers, cafes, and shops, the square is always buzzing with energy.

Despite the crowds, it’s very much a must-see. Whether you’re visiting for the history, the views, or just to soak in the atmosphere, Długi Targ captures the charm and soul of Gdańsk in...

It's an amazing historical long "strip" street which is also unique in Poland as it's something unusual despite of very common market places around several cities in Poland. The architecture, buildings, statues, streets and all details basically are forming a true heritage. Walking along this street you can observe a lot of German and Dutch influence of the centuries, expressions of inimitable renessainse style and unique features of a port city. The Long Market is one of the most important tourist attraction in the city including many object located along it. Also, you can find here restaurants, shops, souvenir retailers, local and international cousins to try and so on. But the list should be longer as the city became a very popular tourist destination in 2014 and it's still popular since then, so the opportunities are...
