Neptune's Fountain is one of the iconic historical landmarks in Gdansk, Poland, located in the Long Market (Długi Targ) in the heart of the Old Town. Its history dates back to the early 17th century. It was designed by German sculptor Abraham van den Blocke and completed in 1613. The centerpiece of the fountain is a bronze statue of Neptune, who stands on a shell chariot holding a trident, symbolizing Gdansk's prosperity as a Baltic Sea trading port and its deep connection to maritime culture. Neptune's Fountain'sbase is decorated in Rococo style, surrounded by sculptures of marine creatures and reliefs of Greek mythological scenes, such as seahorses, dolphins, and mythological figures, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of 17th-century European Baroque art.

The AmberSky ferris wheel turns quietly like a glistening piece of amber between the ancient pier and the red-tiled roofs. Step onto the boarding platform by the pier and ride the enclosed observation cabin as it slowly rises, unfolding a view of the city's rooftops, church spires, ship masts, and harbor waters. As the cabin slowly rotates, you can overlook the coastal city's scenery from above: the brick-red roofs of the old town, historic cranes quietly watching over the harbor, and yachts gently swaying on the water. At dusk, the setting sun paints the old city in golden hues, and the ferris wheel lights up, reflecting on the river's surface to create a romantic yet serene city silhouette. AmberSky became one of Gdansk's landmarks ten years ago, symbolizing a new dimension for this port city as it moves from its rich history toward modern exploration. A ride on it offers more than just a view. It is like embarking on a journey through the city's memories.Gdansk · 974m from downtown

St. Mary's Church is the largest brick church in the world and is a Gothic structure. The church is 105.5m long and 66m wide. Unlike churches in Italy, it is not overly luxurious or flashy; it features deep red exterior walls, a towering spire, and heavy, ajar doors, giving it a simple yet substantial feel. The pipe organ inside is also very classical—magnificent yet refined. Climb the tower for a panoramic view of Gdansk, and you can even see the Baltic Sea in the distance.Gdansk · 481m from downtown

The Neptune Fountain in Gdansk is a magnificent and iconic piece of art that stands as a symbol of the city's maritime heritage and artistic prowess. This ornate masterpiece was crafted by the German sculptor, Abraham van den Blocke, in the early 17th century.Located in the heart of the bustling Long Market, the Neptune Fountain is an exquisite representation of the sea god, Neptune, sitting atop a colossal seashell chariot. The figure of Neptune, crowned with a trident, exudes power and grace. Surrounding him are intricate sculptures and bas-reliefs, depicting scenes from Greek mythology and Gdansk's maritime history.Visitors can admire the fountain's craftsmanship, intricate details, and its significance to the city, as it serves as a reminder of Gdansk's historical connection to the sea and its enduring artistic heritage.

【View】If you are in the area, please come over. It is worth seeing that the particularly damaged buildings are impressive and remind you how cruel and terrible the war was. There is free parking, but it is very small and there is no parking in the morning.
