Hear a stop from this walk

St Mary's Church: The Brick Church That Could Hold a Small City

0:00 / 0:20
  • Main Town: The Royal Way of the Hanseatic City: A self-paced walk along the ceremonial route by which Polish kings entered Gdansk, from the ornate landward gates through a street of merchant houses to Neptune, the guild hall of King Arthur, the river gate, and the colossal brick church of St Mary's.
  • Waterfront: The Crane, the Shipyards, and Solidarity: A riverside walk that reads Gdansk like a sentence whose subject is trade and whose predicate, up north, becomes freedom: from the medieval Baltic port and its giant Crane to the shipyard gate where Solidarity was born.
