Hotels near Long Market and the Neptune Fountain Christmas Tree

The Long Market (Długi Targ), the grand square at the end of the Royal Way, is home to Gdańsk's main Christmas tree, set up beside the famous Neptune Fountain. The square is lined with colourful merchant houses, the Main Town Hall and Artus Court, all lit up for the season.

The walk from the Coal Market along ul. Długa (Long Street) passes through the Golden Gate and some of the most beautiful facades in the city, decorated with Christmas lights.

At the end of the Long Market, the Green Gate opens onto the Motława river and the medieval Crane, which looks especially atmospheric on a winter evening.

Pro Tip: Walk the whole Royal Way from the Upland Gate to the Green Gate after dark, then continue along the river to the medieval Crane for the classic view of the waterfront.
