While going through the street you get to see a highlight! The Neptune fountain is very beautiful and nice, while having many water streams coming out of it. Must see while walking around.

One of the most recognisable places in Gdańsk!
Every tourist must take a picture of themselves with the Neptune f
Fountain in the background, hence the crowds around it and constant fuss in the high season. Please come in the morning before 9, then it's not so busy. And I recommend to visit the fountain at night as it's beautifully enlighten.
The fountain in this shape was created in the seventeenth century. Initially it was supposed to be an ordinary well - after all, at Długi Targ [the Long Market], where the fountain is placed, the main trade was in pigs and cattle.

The Neptune Fountain (in Polish: Fontanna Neptuna; in German: Neptunbrunnen) is a historic fountain located in Gdańsk, Poland. This fountain is one of the city's most famous monuments and represents the Roman god of the sea, Neptune, holding a trident. Inaugurated in 1633, the fountain symbolizes the city's close relationship with the sea and the importance of maritime trade for the prosperity of Gdańsk.
The statue of Neptune was designed by Abraham van den Blocke and cast by Peter Husen and Johann Rogge. The basin of the fountain was created by Jan Rogge. The fountain was damaged during World War II but was carefully restored and remains a cultural and tourist icon of the city.

On the walking path among the unique cafes and restaurants of the old city, a beautiful work of art and architecture emerges. The pond and fountain with the background of a wonderful building that attracts many tourists. The beautiful statue on top of the fountain is a symbol of the historical art and creativity of this city.

One of main attractions you cannot miss while walking the main Dluga street. It's set right by the imposing old Town Hall tower.
The fountain is dedicated to Sea God Neptune, built in 17 c and beautifully restored
