Your route begins at Katownia, the old prison and torture house beside the city gate, where thick brick walls and sharp rooflines set a dramatic tone. From there, you follow Długa, the city’s ceremonial spine, lined with narrow façades, carved portals, and polished windows. Along the way, you stop at Uphagen's House for a close look at patrician life, then continue to the Main Town Hall and Artus Court, where Gdańsk displayed its civic pride and mercantile power. The walk then reaches the Green Gate at the edge of the Motława waterfront.

After that, the tour turns back into the lanes around St. Mary's Church, one of the largest brick churches in the world, before ending on Mariacka Street. There, stone terraces, carved gargoyles, and amber shop windows create one of the city’s most unforgettable scenes. The moments you are most likely to remember are the stern silhouette of Katownia, the elegant rhythm of the Long Street façades, the towering red-brick bulk of St. Mary's, and the warm honey glow of amber along Mariacka.
