The Green Gate in Gdansk (or the Brama Zieolna) is one of the city’s most notable tourist attractions, and perhaps just as important as the Neptune’s Fountain statue nearby. Located on the Dlugi Targ (the Long Market street) and the River Motlawa, the Green Gate is actually a building that was inspired by the Antwerp City Hall in the Netherlands and for a long time period served as the formal residence of many Polish monarchs. Many of Poland’s finest queens and kings were entertained in this building, along with notable foreign leaders, royalty, and distinguished public figures.
These days the Green Gate house the National Museum in Gdansk with various exhibitions, meetings, conferences, and shows organized inside. There’s also one room that is the office of former Polish President and Solidarity leader Lech Walesa. Guided tours in English and German are available.
