Full Description
The Royal Way and the Long Market
The Royal Way is the ceremonial route that Polish kings followed when they visited Gdańsk, running from the Upper Gate through the Golden Gate to the Long Market and on to the Green Gate by the river. A Gdańsk Old Town golf cart tour follows this historic line, so in under an hour you cover what would otherwise take half a day of sightseeing.
The Long Market is the heart of the city, a wide street of tall, richly decorated merchants' houses, many rebuilt with great care after the Second World War. Your guide explains the carved façades, the town hall tower and the history of the free city, and you stop where the light is best. Anyone planning how to see Gdańsk in a short visit will find this the quickest orientation.
Neptune's Fountain, Artus Court and the Golden Gate
Neptune's Fountain, cast in bronze in the early seventeenth century, is the symbol of Gdańsk's relationship with the sea, and every guide has a favourite legend about it. Beside it stands Artus Court, a former meeting hall of merchants whose interior is famous for its tall Renaissance tiled stove, and nearby rises the ornate Golden Gate with its allegorical statues.
These are the sights that appear on every list of what to see in Gdańsk, and the golf cart lets you reach them comfortably even on a cold or wet day. The photo stops are timed so you can take pictures without hurrying, and the guide helps you pick out details you would miss alone.
Mariacka Street, St Mary's Church and the waterfront
Mariacka Street is often called the most beautiful street in Gdańsk, lined with raised terraces called beletages and with gargoyle-shaped drainpipes. At its end stands St Mary's Church, one of the largest brick churches in the world, whose tower dominates the skyline. The street is where many of Gdańsk's amber workshops are found, a tradition your guide explains.
The route also reaches the Motława waterfront with the medieval Crane. If you are wondering whether an Old Town tour in Gdańsk is worth doing by golf cart, the answer for many guests is yes: you hear the stories, see the main sights and still have energy left for a museum or lunch afterwards.
Choosing your ride and the best time for a Gdańsk golf cart tour
There are two options on this page. The shared 60-minute ride starts from the meeting point in the Old Town and includes an optional multi-language audio guide. The longer per-person ride lasts between one and two hours and gives more time for stops. Both use electric carts with heating, protection from wind and rain and a live guide.
The best time to take a Gdańsk sightseeing tour is in the morning, before the Long Market fills, or in the early evening in summer. In winter the heating makes the ride pleasant. Booking in advance is wise for weekends and holidays, because carts are limited.
