The old city hall (built 1378-1492) has a museum inside showing off a nicely decorated room where the town council once met and some historic exhibits about the history of Gdańsk. There are also impressive photos of the destruction after World War II. It is possible to purchase tickets to the tower, which offers a great view of the surroundings and St. Mary's Church.
Main City Hall is a historic town hall located in Gdańsk, Poland, within the Main City borough of the Downtown district. It is one of the finest examples of the Gothic-Renaissance historic buildings in the city, built at the intersection of Ulica Długa and Długi Targ, in the most popular part of Gdańsk. The Main Town Hall in Gdańsk houses the History Museum of the City of Gdańsk.

Dwór Artusa
Impressive merchants' hall, a symbol of the city's power in the 16th and 17th centuries, served as an exchange and as the seat of St. George and the brotherhoods of rich patricians. Now part of the Gdańsk History Museum.
Statue of Neptune, patron of the city, installed in 1549. During World War II, the statue was hidden. In 1954 it was put back to its original location on the Long Market.
Złota Kamienica
Bazylika Mariacka
One of the largest Gothic churches in Europe and one of the three (almost equal sizes) second largest brick churches in the world. There is space for more than 20,000 people in the church. The church contains a large astronomical clock from 1464, with automata which display every day at 11:57. It is possible to take the stairs to the tower (78 m), but the view is not as inspiring as the one from Main Town Hall. Entry to the church is free — donations are appreciated! — but one must pay to visit the tower (20 zł, reduced price 10 zł).
Kaplica Królewska
Differs from typical Gdańsk architecture.
