The Town Hall was erected in the 15th century according to the design of G. Hetzel. The first building was built in the Gothic style. After a fire of the mid-16th century, it acquired the features of Mannerism. The Town Hall Tower is crowned with the figure of King Sigismund II, created in 1561. The best masters of that time worked on the interior. The building houses a city museum with an interesting historical exposition.

The museum of the city is small, but interesting, unfortunately almost half of the exhibition is paintings of modern art that no one needs. I came here for the view, but it was closed because they have only 4 months of season, it was a shame, because.. Read more » in their "off season" there were quite a lot of people. Well, let it be, this city is still full of beautiful places and attractions.

The history museum is located in the heart of the city, very easy to reach.
Although the place looks small inside it is full of exclusive paintings of the city and some private artists.
In the first room there are paintings of the first kings of Pol.. Read more »and. In the second room and for my taste one of the most impressive, from wall to wall and up to the ceiling.
In the museum we can find information about how the rulers lived and also how the beginning of the war was lived, they show us the costumes of the sailors as well as the scale war tanks.
This museum has a little bit of everything and is a walk full of information and also a delight to lovers of art and antique objects, a sample from ancient times before the war and after.

Must see place when you are in Gdańsk.
Incredible wood carvings and furniture.
A separate ticket is required to climb the tower, unfortunately the ladies did not tell us when we were buying tickets to the museum.

We were there this past Monday as free museum entrance, though the roof view is never free. Worth it regardless! The museum itself is somewhat interesting: incredible photos of the devastation of WWII and the Great Council Hall is MARVELLOUS 🤩 The re.. Read more »st of the exhibits are only mildly interesting. Everything is translated into English with the exception of one small section by the tower entrance.
So worth it to pay for the view! Steps are quite wide to the top or bottom, very different from the usual narrow, circular steps in medieval buildings to the roofs.

Some fantastic rooms, though the exhibitions are a little dull. The exhibition about Gdansk after WWII is quite moving however. Free on Mondays (though the tower is closed during the winter)

Free enter on Mondays.
it's a historic building and some parts are definitely worth a visit. It has a very nice mechanical and sundial clock. You can put your bags in boxes at the entrance. You have to pay a fee to climb the tower.

I just went to visit the top of the tower (12pln as September ‘22) but you can visit both too. The view from the top is great if you are willing to go up all those stairs! Highly recommend it!

I like this museum, but its permanent exhibition can be lacking in content - timed ones tend to be more interesting. It offers best views of the Old Town in whole city because of the tall tower available for sightseeing (additional ticket required). .. Read more »Overall I recommend it. Calm place to take a rest in very busy neighborhood.

The museum is interesting but the best place is the tower! Fantastic views, maybe it's the best viewing point in the city.

Interesting museum with a lot of details of Gdansk history of different periods. If you like to see different old details of life you'll definitely enjoy this museum. Old hall restorations are great. Views from tower are stunning.

Nice museum.

A good Chronological order walk through of the history of Gdansk. A lot of historical religious artifacts on display on the ground floor, while the upper floor shows how wealthy the authority at the time is.

Beautiful place, beautiful buildings, many things to buy and do for tourists, and many good places to eat at as well. Ice cream and Italian- but I LOVED the Mexican one. Or was it Japanese? I don't remember but it's one of the above.
