The city
Gdańsk has merchant façades along the Długi Targ axis and an old port beside the Motława. The Żuraw crane and St. Mary’s Basilica help identify the brick city. The ensemble invites walking along both banks near the centre.

The local experience
Długi Targ extends Długa Street toward the river, forming the representative axis of Gdańsk’s centre. Narrow, tall façades line the old market space, where the Neptune Fountain and buildings connected to mercantile life can be recognised.
The Żuraw projects over the Motława riverbank with a wooden structure between brick towers. The former port crane is a landmark in Gdańsk’s landscape and shows how cargo infrastructure was integrated at the city’s entrance.
St. Mary’s Basilica occupies a large brick volume in central Gdańsk. Its scale is felt both from the narrow surrounding streets and inside, where pillars and vaults organize a nave that looks different from the decoration of many Baroque churches.
The Museum of the Second World War occupies a contemporary building in Gdańsk, with a significant portion of the exhibitions underground. The visit brings together objects, documents and accounts about the war and its effects on people’s lives, in a wide-ranging narrative.
The Gdańsk Amber Museum occupies the Great Mill, a brick building tied to the city’s history. The subject connects the natural formation of fossilized resin with the craftwork that linked amber to Baltic culture and trade.
Słowiński National Park protects a coastal landscape of dunes, lakes, and belts of woodland on the Baltic. Visits are usually organised from the Łeba sector, but the park has separate access points and does not correspond to a single beach near Gdańsk city centre.
