[2024 Gdansk Attraction] Travel Guide for Bazylika Mariacka (Updated Oct)

The architecture in Gdańsk, Poland is so beautiful

1. Gdańsk, Poland is a seaside city known for its amber production. However, the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, so it is recommended to visit in summer (it is extremely cold in winter). Remember to bring a thick piece of clothing. The currency in Poland is the zloty, and credit cards are accepted. The exchange rate with the euro is approximately 1:0.2. 2. First day Amber Museum - Town Hall - St. Mary's Basilica - Amber Street - Long Street - Neptune Fountain - Artus Court Amber Museum: Ticket price is 25 zloty, about 6 euros. Free on Mondays. The first floor is a dedicated area for selling amber, with a wide variety and reasonable prices. All are natural amber and very beautiful. The second and third floors are exhibition areas for amber, which are particularly exquisite. 3. Town Hall: Free admission to the museum on Mondays. The overall appearance is pink, in Gothic style. St. Mary's Basilica: Free admission. This is the largest brick church in the world. You can climb to the top for 5 zloty. The stairs are very long, so it is recommended to wear flat shoes. It takes about twenty minutes to reach the top, which is quite small, but you can see a panoramic view of Gdańsk. Any photo taken here is very impressive. 4. Amber Street: This street is full of amber shops. Some do not have price tags, and the shop owners display unique amber pieces at the entrance. Each shop is luxuriously decorated. Long Street: One of the oldest and most representative streets in Gdańsk, with many restaurants nearby. It is quite crowded. Neptune Fountain: Located in front of Artus Court, it is a landmark of Gdańsk and a symbol of the city. Artus Court: The most representative white building on Long Street. 5. Second day Sopot - Baltic Sea Buy a ticket from Gdańsk Główny station to Sopot, which takes about 15 minutes and costs about 5.5 zloty, less than one euro. Crooked House (Krzywy Domek): Use Google Maps to navigate to the Baltic Sea, and you will see this house along the way. In winter, you can capture the entire appearance of the house, but in summer, the trees in front of the house block the view. The house feels a bit rundown inside, very small, and not many shops are open. Overall, it still feels nice.
