Old Town

The city's history is complex, with periods of Polish, Prussian and German rule, and periods of autonomy or self-rule as a free city state. In the early-modern age, Gdańsk was a royal city of Poland. It was considered the wealthiest and the largest city of Poland, before the 18th century rapid growth of Warsaw. In the late Middle Ages it was an important seaport and shipbuilding town and, in the 14th and 15th centuries, a member of the Hanseatic League. The area of Old Town is just a part of historic city centre, but still allows us to understand and appreciate the glory and importance of Gdansk as medieval city. A walk along cobblestoned streets and the historical waterfront is a chance to discover the city’s history and to see technological wonders of the 14th century.
