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.

Acted as our starting point for our free Walkative tour. The tour guide provided some history of the gate before we headed into the Old Town.
The Golden Gate is a historic Renaissance city gate in Gdańsk, Poland. It is located within the Royal Route, the most prominent part of the historic city center.
It was created in 1612–14 in place of a 13th-century gothic gate, the Brama Długouliczna (Long Street Gate). It is located at one end of Ulica Długa where, together with Brama Wyżynna (Highland Gate) and Wieża Więzienna (Prison Tower), it forms a part of the old city fortifications.
One side of the gate was under renovations but the beautiful parts of the gate were still visible.
Worth passing through as you head towards Long Street for dinner or shopping.

The Golden gate dates back to 1614 when it was built as the western entrance to old town. During the centuries it was damaged many times, but totally after WWII.
After it was rebuilt and still serves its purpose. However, I didn't realize any clew why it's called golden, as it's mainly white with only few golden inscriptions. Anyway, a nice and quick photo op when walking the old town.

As you walk down Dlugi Street from the big entrance at the Green Gate, this is the gate at the other end. So stroll down the entire street, note and admire the large number of highly-decorated buildings, and then you can pass through this impressive old gate. Outside is one of the big theaters.

One of several gates leading to the old town of Gdansk ! You will probably pass the gate without spending too much time on the gate itself...

We went through this gate to the Christmas Market every day we were in Gdansk. Yet another lovely piece of architecture to admire in this beautiful city.

Beautiful Gate that heralds your entrance or exit to Dluga. It houses a photograph of the day it was destroyed. Walk through it and enjoy the view left and right, pop in for a coffee and nearby and study the detail from close by.

This was an interesting gate between opening for the main street and old buildings the opposite way. Invest both directions!

The Golden Gate (Polish: Złota Brama; German: Langgasser Tor) in Gdańsk (former German name: Danzig), Poland, is one of the most notable tourist attractions of the city.
It was created in 1612–14 in place of a 13th-century gothic gate, the Brama Długouliczna (Long Street Gate). It is located at one end of Long Lane , it forms a part of the old city fortifications.
It was designed by architect Abraham van den Blocke and was built by Jan Strakowski. The architectural style of the gate is Dutch mannerism. Next to it is the late-gothic building of the Brotherhood of St.George.
Both sides of the gate have attiques, with figures symbolizing the qualities of the ideal citizen. They were designed in 1648 by Jeremias Falck, and reconstructed in 1878 due to the originals being damaged by weathering over time.
The gate was largely destroyed by Soviet shelling in World War II, but was rebuilt in 1957. Although most artifacts of Germanness were eradicated after the city became Polish in 1945, an original German inscription on the gate was restored in the 1990s: Es müsse wohl gehen denen, die dich lieben. Es müsse Friede sein inwendig in deinen Mauern und Glück in deinen Palästen ("They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces

The golden gate is found in dluga street opposite the green gate. It is not as majestic as the green gate and it only has one arch.
