  • 5/5 Oliwia B. 4 years ago on Google
    Waterfront gothic style gateway. This defensive brick structure with two towers was built in the 15th century and used to be one of the main entrances to the city of Gdansk. It gives pedestrians access to the beautiful cobbled Mariacka street. From here you can admire restored polychrome of two lions holding Gdansk's coat of arms. This gate is best to be looked at from the other side of the river (the Granary Island) to appreciate its beauty. #letsguide, #poland, #gdansk, #visitgdansk, #oldtown, #royalroute, #touristattraction, #landmark, #river, #motława, #motlawariver, #waterfront, #mariacka, #gate, #gothic, #gothicarchitecture

    (Translated by Google) Another beautiful building on the Motława shoreline, once serving as the city gate. It closes Mariacka Street, the most beautiful street in Gdańsk Old Town. (Original) Kolejny piękny budynek w linii brzegowej Motławy, mający kiedyś funkcję bramy miejskiej. Zamyka ulice Mariacka, najpiękniejszą uliczkę Gdańskiej starowki.

  • 5/5 Long Hua L. 4 years ago on Google
    A somewhat hidden and easily neglected gate between Green gate, which leads the tourists to Doug's Tart, and the famous Crane, one of the landmarks of Gdansk. St. Mary's Gate takes one from Motlawa River to St. Maria's Basilica through cobble-stoned Ulica Mariacka where many amber shops are located. It is lots of fun visiting these shops but be careful not to spend the last penny in your pocket.

    You don't feel like you are in Poland - more likely if you are in a Mediterranean city. A good place to go for a weekend - leave Friday night or Saturday morning and coming back on Sunday afternoon with Ryanair.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most characteristic buildings in the Gdansk waterfalls. Together with the crane, they form an impenetrable panorama. The view from the water will never get bored. (Original) Jeden z najbardziej charakterystycznych obiektów w gdańskim waterfroncie. Wraz z żurawiem tworzą panoramę nie do podrobienia. Widok od strony wody nigdy się nie znudzi.

  • 5/5 Andrzej K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The gate is located at the end of Mariacka street. The building has late Gothic forms. It was probably built in the last quarter of the 15th century. Mariacka Street is one of the most beautiful in Gdańsk. (Original) Brama znajduje się u wylotu ulicy Mariackiej. Budowla posiada formy późnogotyckie. Została zbudowana prawdopodobnie w ostatniej ćwierci XV wieku. Ulica Mariacka należy do najpiękniejszych w Gdańsku.

  • 5/5 Artek 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The gate through which we enter the most beautiful street in Gdansk - St. Mary's! The perfect place - no matter whether by day or night - to take pictures or simply to admire the beautiful corner of the old part of Gdansk. A must see! (Original) Brama, przez którą wchodzimy na najpiękniejszą ulicę Gdańska - na Mariacką! Idealne miejsce - nie ważne, czy w dzień, czy w nocy - do robienia zdjęć, czy po prostu, do podziwiania pięknego zakątka starej części Gdańska. Punkt obowiązkowy!

  • 5/5 Ahsan H. 5 years ago on Google
    Lively waterfront place in Gdasnk. Be cautious about the restaurant. They are expensive in Polish standard and you have to wait in the queue as well. There is a portable bridge over the river. It's fun to walk over it.

  • 5/5 Teo G. 6 years ago on Google
    A grand gate in front of river. Great spot for photo taking

    (Translated by Google) One of the few beautiful gates in Gdańsk. It leads from Długa Pobrzeże on the Motława River straight to the magnificent St. Mary's Church. (Original) Jedna z kilku pięknych bram w Gdańsku. Prowadzi z Długiego Pobrzeża nad Motławie wprost do wspaniałej Bazyliki Mariackiej.

  • 4/5 Cyprian C. 4 years ago on Google
    Another gate into the walled city of Gdańsk. Much more decorated than some other gates so worth the walk to check it out. If you zig zag the streets you’re bound to find yourself walking beneath it.

    (Translated by Google) Probably the most beautiful street in Gdańsk ... I especially recommend a walk at night, when the lights come on and the amber stalls disappear, revealing the most interesting architectural gems of this street .... an interesting atmospheric place worth seeing ..... (Original) Chyba najpiękniejsza uliczka w Gdańsku...polecam zwłaszcza spacer nocą, kiedy zapalą się światła i znikną z niej kramy z bursztynami odsłaniając najciekawsze architektoniczne perełki tej uliczki....ciekawe klimatyczne miejsce warte zobaczeni.....

    (Translated by Google) An interestingly built bridge, while walking you can see both the old and the new part of Gdańsk. As you know, it is used to let ships turn by turning, and this is where it is worth admiring. It is one of the newer attractions of this city. (Original) Ciekawie zbudowany most, podczas przechodzenia widać tu zarówno starą jak i nową część część Gdańska.
