What you'll see and do
Langgasser Tor (Goldenes Tor)
The Golden Gate is a building of exceptional architectural value, designed by the eminent architect Abraham van den Block and built by Hans Strakowski, a construction entrepreneur. The ideological message of the building, expressed in the form of inscriptions and allegorical sculptures, reflects the main aspirations of the city and the attitudes expected of its citizens.

Great Armoury (Wielka Zbrojownia)
The Great Armoury building - one of the most spectacular examples of Dutch Renaissance in Poland - constitutes a truly masterful finishing touch in the landscape of Piwna street and an important architectural landmark of the Coal Market area.
10 minutes here
Royal Way
The Royal Way was the route along which the Polish kings traditionally paraded during their periodic visits.
20 minutes here
St. Mary's Church
St. Mary's Basilica is believed to be the largest brick church in the world. The interior vault supports 37 windows, over 300 tombstones and 31 chapels. It can hold up to 25,000 people, which was useful during the period of martial law between 1981 and 1983 when members of the Solidarity movement sought refuge here.
15 minutes here
Fontanna Neptuna
The Neptune Fountain is located in the most representative part of Gdańsk - on the Long Market, in front of the Artus Manor. Its creation was initiated by Mayor Bartłomiej Schachmann and the city council in 1633.
15 minutes here
Main Town Hall - Museum of Gdansk
The Main City Hall, a spectacular building and the seat of the city authorities, is full of multicultural references. Its architectural form itself, at least its shape and the main decorative elements bear resemblance to the “Hanseatic House” (Osterlinghaus) in Bruges.
15 minutes here
Crane
Just like the Neptune fountain, the Crane, a former port crane, is one of the most famous symbols of Gdańsk, especially if it comes to its maritime past and glory. Therefore, no other place is more suitable for an exhibition devoted to activities of the former Gdańsk port.

Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze)
Historical harbour of Gdansk. Pleace where in VII century even 300 ship moored every day.

Absolutely loved this city
We did a walking tour organised by our cruise ship (Viking) that was just wonderful. Our guide Olga Libura was so knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour & made our short one day in Gdańsk very memorable. We walked & walked & took in the Golden Gate, Main Town Hall, the Green Gate, Artus’ Court, the amber shops & so much more. Wish we had more time here.

Walking Wikipedia .. very informative
Booked a 3 hour walking tour around the "Old" town area, (which we had a walk around the day before) and was astounded at how much we had walked past and not observed or taken in. Michael Maj arrived slightly ahead of time and was therefore prompt at hotel lobby and from the first moment all 5 of us were interested. Michael is fluent in Mandarin / English / Norwegian / Russian / English and learning more. We nicknamed him the walking encyclopedia (without Malice) his knowledge of history, dates, recommendations etc far surpassed what we expected. We had a very pleasant break for a coffee ( my wife is Singaporean and was astounded at how good his written and spoken Mandarin is) and extended his tour length as we were so interested ... Highly recommended, cannot praise enough .. the walk is at your pace .. not rushed not fast .. suitable for most. Thank-you Michael from all of us .. even from the scouser who must have embarrassed you at the Amber alter !!

Fun and Informative!
We thoroughly enjoyed our full morning tour though Gdansk Old Town with our guide, Agnieszka Syroka. She has an in-depth knowledge of Polish/Eastern Europe history, which she shares in an easy-to-understand and entertaining way. At the time, we thought her descriptive knowledge of brick-making to be odd on a tour, but we employed the information she gave us multiple times over the next three weeks of our Eastern Euporean travels! We would happily do another tour with Agnieszka if we ever get back to Gdansk!

Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gdansk.
How much does Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town cost?
+
Prices start at $177 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gdansk usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gdansk is not rushed.
Is Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gdansk, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gdansk can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gdansk and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gdansk within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gdansk?
+
On Outty we rank every Gdansk experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gdansk Food and Sightseeing Tour with Bart, Discover Gdansk Walking Tour, Gdańsk: City Sightseeing Tour by Buggy/Golf Cart LIVE GUIDED 1H. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gdansk?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gdansk?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town?
+
Included: Professional guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town?
+
Departure Point: Upland Gate/Tourist Information Point Address: Wały Jagiellońskie 2A, 80-887 Gdańsk Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and Polish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Walking Tour of Gdansk Old Town?
