We really liked the possibility of going on the church tower, where you can see whole Gdańsk, the atmosphere in the church was amazing.

The 400 steps are worth it for the breathtaking view to orient yourself.

We loved climbing the tower of St Mary church. It's well worth 410 steps and gives you a decent workout. The view is great on a nice day. Very recommended.

The interior was very rich and superb. You can climb the tower for a few more Zlotys and see the awesome view of the town. The way up to the tower are not made for claustrophobic though, some part of it were dark and shallow. The way up is very high so bring your own water.

It is one of the biggest buildings made of bricks in the world. The interior of the church is austere but creates a unique atmosphere. See a great astronomical clock! Climb the tower to see a breathtaking view of the City!

Some beautiful artifacts inside and amazingly 20,000 people fit inside for protection during martial law in the early 1980's

If you are looking for WOW factor - this is it. Standing in proud position like a mother hen clutching everything beneath her - this Church I believe is the largest of its kind in Europe. Inside is somewhat jaw dropping.
