At the intersection of Long Street and Long Market stands – not exactly the Gdańsk Town Hall, but the Main Town Hall. It is arguably one of the most beautiful in the world, both inside and out. Rebuilt after a fire in the 16th century, its interior furnishings largely date from that period as well. Heavily damaged in World War II, it was rebuilt exactly as it was originally. Remarkable. It can be visited daily, though it hasn't actually served as the town hall for quite some time.

Beautiful interiors, the museum makes a stunning impression. I recommend visiting with an audio guide; you'll learn much more about the history of the rooms and Gdańsk itself than if you simply walked around. It's truly worth it. It's an incredible story of the city, how it rose from the ruins after World War II, and what life was like during the glory days of the Free City of Gdańsk.

Very interesting and, above all, very beautiful to look at. The audio guide is highly recommended. It provides many historical details from the early days of Gdansk. The images showing how destroyed the city was during the Second World War were shocking, making it all the more impressive to see how superbly everything was rebuilt and restored.

It is one of Gdańsk's most distinctive landmarks, a building that dominates the Royal Route. Its Gothic-Renaissance structure, tall tower, and richly decorated attic embellish the powerful and prosperous city of old. The current appearance of the town hall is the result of numerous reconstructions carried out from the 14th to the 16th centuries, and the tower's Renaissance dome, rebuilt after wartime damage, is particularly impressive. The town hall from Długi Targ is particularly worth viewing – the decorative attic wall with corner turrets and the slender, over 80-meter-high tower create a truly impressive composition. It was here that Gdańsk's political life was centered for centuries – from the mid-15th century until 1921, the town hall served as the seat of the city government. The town hall suffered significant damage during World War II. In 1945, a fire destroyed the roofs, ceilings, and dome of the tower, among other things, and the building was severely damaged. The reconstruction, begun in 1946, was a massive conservation undertaking and restored one of Gdańsk's most important symbols. This time, as with the Uphagen House, I didn't have time to explore the interior. It's a shame, because that's where the famous Red Hall and White Hall are located, as well as the incredibly rich Renaissance décor. So I'm saving the inside of the Town Hall for my next visit to Gdańsk. For now, admiring its impressive silhouette from the street had to be enough – and I have to say, it was definitely worth it :)

The city is beautiful, but the way drivers are treated is appalling: after driving just 20 meters in the old town, we were stopped by the police (who spend all day there, which must be very lucrative) and had to pay 100 sloths (about 23 euros) for entering a residents-only area. We checked afterward: there are signs, but not in English. Furthermore, the manager of the apartment we rented through a platform (with parking) didn't tell us that access to the apartment wasn't possible by car... In short, we left Gdansk very disappointed by the reception and the information provided by the municipality, which clearly only aims to fine foreign tourists.

In the most beautiful part of Gdansk stands the impressive old Town Hall. It is of Gothic-Renaissance style, built with the characteristic red bricks. The first building began to be built in 1326. Over the centuries, it was expanded, but it also suffered damage. In particular, after the great fire of 1556, the Town Hall was reconstructed and in 1561, a gilded statue of the then Polish King Sigismund II Augustus was placed on the top of the Clock Tower. This gave the Tower a final height of 83.45 m. At that time, the Town Hall also acquired its sound identity with the installation of a carillon of 37 bells. We were lucky enough to hear its melodic chimes when the hour was marked. A sundial is also attached to one corner of the building. Undoubtedly, the old Town Hall of Gdańsk (now a museum) reflects the glory of the past!

The Main Town Hall is a must-see during a visit to Gdańsk. In 1945, it was severely damaged, and its reconstruction required a tremendous amount of work. Today, it once again impresses with its grandeur, history, and attention to detail. Each room tells a different story, and the manner in which the historic interiors were saved and restored deserves special recognition. A brilliant and incredibly far-sighted decision was to dismantle almost all of the original furnishings of the Red Hall in 1943 and transport them outside Gdańsk. Thanks to this, the most valuable elements survived, although the town hall itself was severely damaged in 1945. After the town hall's conservation and reconstruction, they were returned to the hall. Therefore, not the entire hall survived intact, but almost all of its historic furnishings from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The knowledge that one is now viewing original, centuries-old works saved from wartime destruction is truly impressive. The Red Hall is the gem of the Town Hall and, in my opinion, the most beautiful room in all of Gdańsk. The richly decorated ceiling with 25 paintings, wall paintings, gilding, carved details, dark wood, and a monumental fireplace create an extraordinary interior. There's immense opulence here, but without exaggeration or chaos—everything contributes to a dignified, almost fairytale-like whole. This room isn't one to be explored in just a few moments. The longer you spend inside, the more detail your eye notices, and it's difficult to simply leave. Photos can't capture its true beauty or atmosphere. You can truly feel the former splendor and power of Gdańsk there. The Red Room alone is worth visiting the City Hall. It's an absolutely unique place that lingers long in the memory. While wandering through the building, it's also worth stopping in the Winter Room (Small Council Chamber) for the moving exhibition "The Mayor's Desk," dedicated to the memory of the tragically deceased Paweł Adamowicz. His massive pre-war desk and leather armchair were moved here from City Hall. His personal belongings are left on the counter: stacked books, a 1989 election leaflet, and a calendar with the last entry dated January 13, 2019. The exhibition is complemented by items such as his official attire. It's a deeply personal, contemplative space and a beautiful commemoration of a man inextricably linked to this city.

The Main Town Hall in Gdańsk is definitely worth a visit. It's a museum with beautifully preserved interiors and a rich history. I was most impressed by the Great Hall, with its exquisite ceiling paintings and impressive paintings – it's one of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen. Inside, there's also a charming café where you can relax after sightseeing. It's a shame the tower is currently closed for renovations, as the view from there would certainly be a welcome addition. It's worth noting, however, that the building is not accessible to people with mobility impairments – there are many stairs and no elevator. Despite this, the visit was a great success, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone visiting Gdańsk.

While exploring the center of Gdańsk, I visited the Main Town Hall, one of the city's most important and representative monuments. Entrance to the museum is 26 złoty for adults. On Mondays, admission is free! Even from afar, its slender, tall tower, crowned by a gilded statue of King Sigismund II Augustus, commands attention. It has dominated the Royal Route for centuries. The building captivates with its combination of Gothic architecture with rich Renaissance and Mannerist elements. The brick structure of the town hall, its ornate gables, and its numerous architectural details attest to the power and wealth of old Gdańsk. The town hall's history dates back to the 14th century, when the first seat of city government was built. In the following centuries, the building was expanded and rebuilt numerous times, reflecting the city's growing importance as one of Europe's most important trading ports. It was here that city councilors met, key decisions concerning trade, finance, and politics were made, and monarchs and foreign envoys visiting Gdańsk were received. Upon entering, I was most impressed by the Great Council Chamber, also known as the Red Chamber. It is one of the most magnificent Renaissance interiors in Poland. The richly decorated ceiling, carved decorations, and numerous paintings create an exceptionally impressive space. Of particular note is the series of paintings depicting civic virtues and the values that should guide those who govern the city. This chamber hosted the most important meetings and ceremonies related to the life of Gdańsk. Many prominent figures were associated with the town hall. One of them was Antoni van Obberghen, a Flemish architect and builder who participated in the building's reconstruction in the late 16th century. Artists such as Isaac van den Blocke, the author of the famous painting "The Apotheosis of Gdańsk," and Willem van den Blocke, the creator of numerous sculptural decorations, also played a significant role. Polish kings also visited the town hall, including Sigismund II Augustus, Stephen Báthory, and John III Sobieski, whose visits highlighted the city's importance in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The building was not spared the tragic events of the 20th century. During the fighting for Gdańsk in 1945, it was severely damaged, and parts of the priceless interior were destroyed by fire. Thanks to the enormous efforts of conservators and art historians, the town hall was meticulously rebuilt. Today, as a branch of the Gdańsk Museum, it displays rich collections related to the city's history, culture, and the daily lives of its former residents.

A huge disappointment. A specially planned visit for Sunday, April 19th, I checked the museum's website and social media the morning before leaving to make sure it would be open. I couldn't find the phone number for Galeria Palowa, but since the only information I could find was about the museum's other closing days and opening hours, I assumed it would be fine and we set off from the other side of Tricity. Upon arrival, I was informed that it was closed this weekend :( Within 10 minutes of sitting on a bench opposite the entrance, I counted at least a dozen people bouncing off the door. Some confirmed they had also checked the information online. To confirm, a screenshot from the website versus reality! Seriously – shameful, and I wonder who's in charge here???!!!

To jedna z najbardziej monumentalnych wież w Gdańsku, na którą można się wspiąć w określonych porach roku, aby podziwiać widoki z jej szczytu. Znajduje się tam również muzeum historii miasta, do którego wstęp jest płatny. Jeśli masz wystarczająco dużo czasu, zdecydowanie polecamy wizytę.

The Main Town Hall in Gdańsk is the historic town hall in the Main Town of Gdańsk. This Gothic-Renaissance structure, situated at the intersection of Długa Street and Długi Targ, dominates the panorama of the Royal Route, the most representative thoroughfare in this part of the city. The Main Town Hall houses the Gdańsk Museum.

A beautiful Gothic-Renaissance building dominating the Royal Route. From the mid-15th century, it served as the center of power for the entire Motława River agglomeration. Mayors held their offices here, the City Council and the Bench met here, the Veto Court delivered its verdicts, the burgrave, representing the Polish king in the city, held his seat, and the so-called Third Order convened. The most important rooms of the Town Hall are the Great Council Chamber (Red Hall, Summer Hall) and the Great Veto Chamber (White Hall). Here, you'll find a collection of silverware, some paintings, photographs, and staged rooms (a clerk's office, a pharmacy, and a tailor's workshop). It's worth a visit, although the chronology of events isn't readily apparent.

Main Town Hall and the Museum of Gdansk are effectively the same location inside the same building. If you can purchase tickets beforehand, I would. There was a line outside the building when I went before opening. It is worth the wait. Once inside, the rooms are overwhelmingly beautiful. The first room I entered were large portraits of Kings from yesteryear and an enormous tapestry on the wall, with large beams on the ceilings. Then you enter the next room with a tapestry on the celing and a beautiful wooden spiral staircase in the corner. Follow out of the ornate doorway and into a room with artwork on the ceiling and a golden decorated fireplace large enough to walk in. Spend time in this room, it's stupendous! Then you enter all white rooms that house another beautiful fireplace, artwork, books, silverware and crowns. This Town Hall/Museum has many levels and I recommend seeing them all. You can also see the large room with a wooden ceiling and beautiful furniture, to a room of bells. The upward levels take you to the Tower access. Please check with the ticket counter to see if it's open. Sometimes winter weather will prevent access due to snow and ice. There's a cafe, with ample seating, and a very small giftshop. I strongly recommend but please check hours because it's not open everyday, Ticket prices are fair and worth it.Posted on Google

Minor museum inside the.old town hall full of history. Notice the impressive oak wood stair from the entrance hall. So beautiful. In the next room, you will find a beautiful room that was previously the city council hall. The ceiling is covered with detailed paintings telling a history. The displays are a good mix of art, silverware and in the end the museum has reconstructed old stores and small rooms with real things from the time in question. The tower was closed because of the winter season. We knew that in advance. Go there on a Monday, where many of the minor city museums are free.Posted on Google

How can you organize a tour system for a wheelchair user that requires calling the museum 2-3 days in advance to let them know you'll be there in those three days? And you have to call ahead so someone can operate the elevator... In a large Central European city, where this type of monument is a major attraction right in the city center. Who's responsible for this? The receptionists are very nice, and they're probably not the ones behind this idea. INFORMATION for the museum: visiting with a disabled person is difficult and as unpredictable as a lottery draw, and the additional demands placed on them can be compared to "kicking someone while lying down"...

For me, it's the most beautiful town hall in Poland and beyond. Beautiful interiors, with the stunning Red Hall and White Hall, are worth admiring from a lying position. And finally, climb the town hall tower for a panoramic view of the entire city. The entrance steps to the town hall are adorned with the famous Gdańsk Lions holding a coat of arms, the city's emblem. The lions look west, watching for the kings of Poland who entered the city from the west. Those with very good eyesight should take a closer look at the statue of King Sigismund II Augustus in his golden riding armor.

I can't comment on the museum's collection because we weren't able to get in. It's strange that the museum closes at 4 PM on Mondays. But that's our fault; we could have planned things differently. One star, however, goes to the offended young man at the ticket desk. Not only did he ignore the tourists, pretending he simply didn't see them, but he was clearly angry that a group of foreigners showed up 15 minutes before closing time. He could have informed them that they were no longer allowed in and at least pretended to be sorry, or invited them back at another time. We explained that the exhibition was already closed, but the young man was still clearly waiting for the end of the workday.

I really enjoyed the museum; the room with a completely frescoed ceiling and an exhibition by Leon Wyczółkowski are noteworthy. However, I didn't appreciate the fact that we weren't informed at reception that the tower was closed; other visitors also noted the same thing.

The late medieval Gothic town hall, which suffered severe damage during World War II but was rebuilt, was built in the 14th century and acquired its current form in the late 16th century.

Additional exhibitions include "Our Boys: Residents of Gdańsk Pomerania in the Army of the Third Reich," a book about forced conscriptions, which is very necessary for our historical awareness.

The Gdańsk Town Hall Museum is a landmark steeped in history and artistic value! Its towering bell tower, visible from afar, is one of the Old Town's most striking landmarks. Inside, admire the well-preserved Gothic and Renaissance décor, especially the magnificent council chamber with its exquisite ceiling murals, which evokes a sense of transport back in time. The museum's rich exhibitions, covering the city's development, historical events, and art and culture, offer a valuable insight into Gdańsk. Ascending the tower offers breathtaking views of the Old Town and the Vistula River, a truly worthwhile experience. The admission price is reasonable, the staff friendly and informative, and the visit is a truly enjoyable experience. This is more than just a museum; it symbolizes the very spirit of Gdańsk. Whether you are a history lover or a general tourist, you can find surprises and touching moments here.

An interesting museum showcasing the history of Gdańsk through the centuries. The day of the visit was Monday (September 8, 2025), so admission was free, but tickets had to be collected at the ticket office. It's a shame that an audio guide wasn't available for rent that day. Fortunately, there are information boards (in Polish and English) and small, handy plaques (in Polish, English, German, and Ukrainian) throughout the rooms, which complement the tour well. The interiors, which didn't survive the war, have been reconstructed in the spirit of the period. Isaac van den Blocke's "The Apotheosis of Gdańsk" is particularly worth a visit. The entrance to the museum is to the left of the main stairs. To the right of the corridor are the ticket offices, and in the courtyard is a café and the entrance to the tour route. Tickets for the observation tower can be purchased at the ticket office downstairs or from a vending machine on the top floor of the museum just before entering. The tour takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.

I'd happily give it 4.5 stars – it's a very interesting museum, but the rooms are rather stuffy. Too many people can visit at once, which means some rooms get very crowded. The highest level is the most interesting – the pre-war city is shown. A plus is that you can buy a ticket for the tower during the tour. A big minus, however, is that you can't avoid paying for an exhibition you don't want to see – the animal exhibition. For various reasons, I walked through it blindfolded.

Karol S14 August 2025
The "Our Boys" exhibition at the Gdańsk Museum is, in my opinion, scandalous – it fuels emotions rather than accurately tells history. The way the heroes are presented gives the impression of an attempt to imbue them with an aura of glory, ignoring the tragedy of the victims and the full context of the war. The title is particularly unfortunate – it suggests a closeness and community that is difficult to find in the case of service in the occupying army. Instead of a solid historical education, the audience receives a message that teeters on the edge of relativizing guilt. As a result, the exhibition provokes outrage among many who feel that the memory of true heroes has been violated in this way. Such initiatives should be based on full sensitivity to history and the victims, not historical revisionism.

Great View, but Be Ready for Waiting and Lots of Stairs The museum is free to enter on Mondays, which is a big plus, but expect longer waiting times—especially if you want to go up the tower. It’s important to note that there are two separate tickets: one for the museum and another one for the tower. Tower access is charged separately even on Mondays (20 PLN), and you can buy the ticket right before the entrance. Only 20 people are allowed at the top at the same time, so entry is regulated. The wait can be uncomfortable, especially if the air gets stuffy. The climb itself is manageable, and the view from the top is absolutely worth it. The museum is well done and interesting, but be prepared for a lot of walking and stairs throughout the visit.

What you've done is beyond comprehension. You're perpetrating German historical policy with our money. Shameful, abysmal, and a disgrace.

I've been to this museum and seen some interesting exhibitions. However, recently I've been disappointed. The exhibition "Our Boys" controversially tells the story of Poles in the Wehrmacht. The excuse is about some Pomeranians, instead of Poles, Germans, and Kashubians. The email response is for a layman. And this topic also deeply concerns my family. Too much ideology, too little professionalism.

No German will spit in our faces, nor Germanize our children. Our armed troops will stand, the Spirit will be our hetman. We will go when the golden horn sounds... - So help us God!

I was stunned by the "Our Boys" exhibition. For a moment, I thought I was in Berlin, but not Poland. The subject of these soldiers is interesting, but presented from a subjective, rather German, perspective, certainly not Polish. Historical truth is certainly impossible in such a biased, one-sided narrative, starting with the title. You'll learn about the Wehrmacht's excellent equipment and that conscription was an exciting experience for many of "our boys." It feels like it was perhaps even a little good for them, but the fact that it was forced conscription into a criminal army, which the "boys" wanted to avoid, doesn't quite resonate. It feels as if Nazi Germany did us a favor by allowing "our boys" to travel the world and experience German, "higher" military culture, and other cultures. This exhibition should be supplemented with the broader context of the German partitions, Nazi attacks, crimes, and coercive policies applied to Poles in Pomerania, etc. The name itself should be changed immediately—it distorts history, sugarcoating the reality of these people, suggesting from the outset that perhaps the incorporation wasn't so unwanted, uncomfortable, and evil after all. It subtly glorifies the Wehrmacht and German policy, but I certainly don't feel like it condemns it. The title should be changed immediately—in reality, this is an exhibition that should be titled "Poles Conscripted into the Wehrmacht," then perhaps someone would understand its true historical context from the outset. The current title distorts and softens this cruel history of the incorporation, relativizing the Wehrmacht and German policy. And the fact that it's being financed with Polish money is a true scandal!

Plow down this German museum, it's a mess and has nothing to do with Gdansk.

The relativization of Polish history and the lack of historical context make this museum a place you can safely skip on your trip to Gdańsk.

The Gdańsk Museum – Main Town Hall is one of the most important and beautiful monuments in Gdańsk, and an extremely important place for all history buffs. Built from the 14th to the early 17th century, the Town Hall building is a jewel of Gothic-Renaissance architecture and served as the seat of municipal government for centuries. The Town Hall impresses with its slender, tall tower, which rises to a height of 83 meters. From its vantage point, a beautiful panorama of Gdańsk and the surrounding area unfolds. The Town Hall interiors are richly decorated – the Great Council Chamber, also known as the Red Chamber, is particularly impressive, considered one of the finest Mannerist works in Europe. Inside, visitors can admire the exquisitely carved ceilings, beautiful frescoes, and portraits of Polish kings. Today, the Main Town Hall houses a branch of the Gdańsk Museum, which collects and presents memorabilia related to the history, culture, and everyday life of the city's residents. Visitors can admire both permanent exhibitions, showcasing the history of Gdańsk from the Middle Ages to the present day, and numerous temporary exhibitions on various topics. This place is worth visiting not only for its valuable collections, but also for the architecture itself and the unique atmosphere of its historic Gdańsk interiors. The Main Town Hall is a testament to Gdańsk's rich history and its commercial, cultural, and political importance in the Baltic Sea region.

We only went up the tower, which offered a great view. The staircase had two-way traffic, but it was all doable. Admission without the museum was 20 zloty per person.

An interesting museum of the town hall, covering the history of Gdansk. Parts of the town hall were heavily damaged in the war. Quite a few stairs, especially if you want to go to the tower. Looks like you can either get a ticket to the tower and the museum or whichever one you want. We didn't do the tower, be a fair few stairsPosted on Google

The first town hall was built based on the privilege of King Władysław the Elbow-high in 1298. Further expansions took place in the 14th and 15th centuries and were related, among other things, to urban reforms and the development of local government.
