    This is the gate which leads to pedestrian way to Motlawa river. Very crowded bustling with lot of people, restaurants, eateries. Tower clock is here, basilica church is also on the side of this way, half way mark we will get Neptune fountain. You get to hear music, see paintings done in matter of few minutes, get hold of snakes around your neck etc. One can spend easily some time strolling around starting from this gate.

    (Translated by Google) The gate was erected in 1612 on the site of a 14th century gothic gate. It was the main entrance to the city and did not have defensive but representative functions. The magnificent façade design is distinguished by a stone balustrade crowning the gate with statues symbolizing the desires of the townspeople. Peace, freedom, wealth and fame, and civil virtues: foresight, piety, justice and agreement. This was where parties were held for the city's elite. (Original) Brama została wzniesiona w 1612 roku na miejscu XIV wiecznej bramy gotyckiej . Stanowiła główne wejście do miasta i nie pełniła funkcji obronnych lecz reprezentacyjne . Wspaniały wystrój elewacji wyróżnia wieńcząca bramę kamienna balustrada na której znajdują się posągi symbolizujące pragnienia mieszczan . Pokój wolność , bogactwo i sława oraz cnoty obywatelskie : przezorność , pobożność sprawiedliwość i zgodę . Tutaj odbywały się przyjęcia do elity zarządzającej miastem .

    The old city of Gdansk was truly amazing, many of the buildings were damaged in WW2 but the fronts are wonderfully reconstructed. Would go again.

    Gdańsk is a very nice city. It's definitely worth to visit. Special atmosphere at the water. But it's very crowded in the summer.

  • 4/5 adrian m. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the major landmarks of Gdańsk. Like most of Gdańsk, it was effectively destroyed in WWII, so what you’re seeing is basically a recreation, rebuilt in 1957. The fact that it’s not original, & is currently surrounded by construction, kinda makes it not all that impressive…but, it’s still a required stop on most tourist itineraries (& an easy meeting point)

  • 5/5 Eduard 2 years ago on Google
    On small reconstruction now

  • 3/5 Jani F. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Yogendra N. 2 years ago on Google
    Lot of opinions on the internet which says it's really very awesome. However in my opinion I didn't find the place to be that great as has been mentioned. The street inside the golden gate is really awesome and worth visiting as it leads u til the river in the end. Can be visited once

  • 5/5 Inga R. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rechenzo I. 2 years ago on Google
    Didn't notice it was a historical landmark, you walk straight past it unless you're looking for it. Area is nice though so it gets 5 stars

  • 5/5 Silke J. 5 years ago on Google
    This gate was one of the most beautiful buildings I saw in all of Gdansk. Go through it and you'll see even more beautiful buildings like it, shops and cafes on both sides, and eventually you'll get to the channel, which is also beautiful, but walk slowly and savor every moment and every pastel pink, green and blue building, decorated with paintings and gargoyles.

  • 5/5 Ellegancia S. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a nice place to visit, early 17th century construction. The door is right at the beginning of a pedestrian street and opposite the amber museum. Now at Christmas time there is also a Christmas market in front of Golden Gate. Inside the door you can see photos of the city when it was destroyed in the II World War.

  • 4/5 Brett G. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful architecture on this gate. It leads to the entrance of one of the main streets in Old Town. The green is color is very different than most other gates around here

  • 4/5 Atte G. 5 years ago on Google
    Met our new best friend in town here. Local guide who showed us things we would never have experienced otherwise. Great story to tell in the future. Zura if you're reading this, we'll see next summer for sure!

  • 2/5 Asha A. 1 year ago on Google
    Well they been doing something to it so it's hard to get the full view. As well as when you walk around you don't even spot this "Golden Gate, " it's on the wayof the other main attractions.

  • 4/5 George C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful Beautiful area... great for families and eating

  • 4/5 Lin N. 1 year ago on Google
    The building is being renovated at the moment so there is boarding around the lower level. It detracts slightly from the experience but obviously needs to be done. Still worth a visit to this iconic building.

  • 4/5 TheElz 1 year ago on Google
    It's OK, walk around the sides to see more of the architecture

    Always bustling, it's being renovated now (September 2022), but still worth going through; everything you've ever wanted to see or taste in Gdansk is behind it. 😃
