History of the Long Waterfront

The Long Waterfront is not only a place for strolls but also an important part of Gdańsk's history. For centuries, it has been a bustling center of trade and navigation. Ships from all over the world docked here, and goods were unloaded along the quays. Today, the Long Waterfront is a place for locals and tourists to meet, where you can admire both historic buildings and modern architecture.

What to see on the Long Waterfront?

• The Crane: This impressive port crane, one of the largest in Europe, is an inseparable part of Gdańsk's skyline. Today, it houses a museum that showcases the history of navigation and maritime economy. Visiting the Crane, you can feel like a real sailor and learn what life on board a ship was like in ancient times.
