Information

Long Embarkment (Polish: Dlugie Pobrzeze) is probably one of the most iconic historic landmarks in Gdansk. This entirely pedestrianized area along west riverfront of the Motlawa river dates back to 14th century when a number of separate wooden platforms allowed for easy transfer of goods to and from ships arriving in Gdansk. By 17th century the platforms were replaced with one unified structure and after World War II entire area was rebuilt in concrete and finished with marble. Alongside Dlugie Pobrzeze you will find some historic city gates, world-famous Crane, Hanza hotel, popular cruise ships and numerous small cafes and restaurants.
