Also located in the old city, this street features lots of beautiful restored houses and lots of places to eat and drink. You will find car traffic here.Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 30 June 2024
- Stefanie HLincoln, Nebraska1,746 contributionsBeautiful streetThis street is fairly short but very beautiful, with flower pots on every stoop. There are tables of amber throughout the day as well, so it's a great place to buy it if you are interested in the jewelry. Mariacka is very close to Dluga Street, so you could visit both in the same day.Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 September 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just follow the instructions in my title and you will be satisficed. One look at any photo should convince you that this is a must see street, but let me indulge. Ornate, smartly decorated terraces and porches filled with cafes, bars and shops line the thin street. Each offering a nook or cranny to sneak away into, and find a souvenir or refreshment. Attracting less people than the surrounding streets, albeit busy nonetheless. Tunnel of fun? One might call it that, at least a tunnel of visual splendor.

One of the oldest streets, ending with a church that is enormous. Church Mariacki, on a side note was finished in 1400. It took over 100 years to build it, a must to learn how they did it. Going back to the street it holds many hidden game like restourants and small amber shops. One of the restaurants we found with amazing food was literancka. You might have to make a reservation to get a seat. The small shopping places have many hand made products and artistic creations. If you are visiting Gdansk a must to see.

This is a beautiful street with the most amazing architecture. The tall houses are just gorgeous with huge steps up to each which are adorned eitherside with gargoyles, pillars, or a feature of some sort. If you like amber this is also the street for you as it is lined with many jewellery shops all selling high quality amber.

This street is so 'olde worlde', like something from a Harry Potter movie. There is so much detail in the architecture, all the tall houses have unique and quirky details, especially the drainpipes!
So many photo opportunities, I just loved it. There are loads of Amber shops where we spent some time looking and selecting gifts to take home. The ladies who served us in the shops were lovely, helpful and not at all pushy. A rewarding shopping experience for someone who hates shopping!
This street was somewhere we wandered a few times and had a charm all of it's own.

Highly recommended place and categorized as one of the most beautiful streets of Gdansk. Well, be warned that the street is very small, so there is not much to see. You will most likely just take a photo with the church on the background and that is it. There are many shops selling amber and also the coffee shop Drukarnia which is pretty nice. Many tour groups go there just to check it out.

This place is quite charming and kind of secluded from the other areas with more people. A few cafes and restaurant here are recommended, if nothing else for the atmosphere. An exceptional and not at all busy restaurant round the corner of the street, to the left when reaching the church.

It's a nice street which has one bar I like to visit when in Gdansk.
One of the only, if not the only building that wasn't flattened on this street during the war.
Even though there are cafes and a few bars, at night they were all closed. Perhaps a winter thing.

Above says it all, so quaint, and on a cold winters night, quite haunting, but very beautiful. Walk from the river to the top towards St Marys Church. We stayed at Gotyk House last building on the left

I have several friends, who have visited Mariacka St. in years past purchasing various amber jewelry, but interestingly, none of them could remember exactly the the larger or largest, most reputable Amber Retailer's names... Can you assist with a few of the more reputable jewelers in this endeavor? I am specifically looking for Natural Blue Amber Pendant(s).
Thank you!

Chciałabym zapytać o pana grającego na gitarze na jednym ze zdjęć. Szukam jego nazwiska już jakiś czas, wydaje mi się, że był Ukraińcem albo Rosjaninem, bo sprzedawał płyty z imieniem i nazwiskiem, ale niestety nie zdołałam zapamiętać. Grał ballady na gitarze akustycznej wieczorem na ulicy Mariackiej właśnie, proszę o pomoc.

Would this be a noisy street at night, if we stayed in an apartment here?
Written 29 February 2016
I lived in the Old Town for few years. In the summer you can expect some moderate noises at night. Although, there are no pubs, just few cafes, people tend to walk there until late in the night.
In the winter it's a calm place, you can surely choose a room there.
