Long Market

Długi Targ in Gdańsk is a place with a rich history, dating back to the 13th century, when it functioned as the main merchant route. After the invasion of the Teutonic Knights, it was still the center of city life. The street, then called Longa Platea, has witnessed numerous historical events, including parades honoring royal visits and the site of executions following the Lutheran rebellion in 1526. The tenement houses that flank it were the residences of the wealthiest residents of Gdańsk, which only confirms its prestige. In modern times, Długi Targ, full of restaurants and cafes, is a place where residents and tourists can feel the historical atmosphere of Gdańsk, while admiring the Main Town Hall and other historic tenement houses reconstructed after the war destruction.
