St. Mary's Street, Medieval street in Main City district, Gdańsk, Poland
St. Mary's Street is a cobblestone pedestrian zone in Gdańsk's Old Town that connects St. Mary's Church to the Motława River. Both sides feature raised stone terraces with ornate doorways and steps leading to shops and workshops housed in restored medieval buildings.
The street developed in medieval times as a commercial lane and was extended when St. Mary's Gate was built to improve connections. Over the centuries it hosted various crafts workshops, particularly shoemakers, before becoming a tourist destination in modern times.
The street maintains traditions of craftsmanship through its shops selling amber jewelry and handmade goods, connecting visitors to practices that shaped the neighborhood for centuries. Walking here, you notice how these working traditions still define the character of the place today.
The street is pedestrian-only, though small buses on line 100 occasionally pass through, so stay alert. Wear sturdy shoes because of the uneven cobblestones and stepped terraces on both sides.
The terraced entrances display intricate stone carvings of animals, mythical creatures, and geometric patterns that resemble an open-air gallery of medieval craftsmanship. These decorations tell stories of the artisan community that once worked in this location centuries ago.
