Gdańsk's Long Market opens as a single straight run of tall merchant houses, their gabled brick and stone fronts pressed side by side. Climb the 405 steps of St. Mary's, among the largest brick churches ever built, for red rooftops and the Motława below, where the wooden Crane once hauled cargo by foot-driven treadmill. This was the Baltic amber trade's home port. Local distillers bottled Goldwasser, a herb liqueur flecked with gold leaf. An audio walk traces the amber and Hanseatic money behind these facades.
