- Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze) - A place where you can feel the spirit of the old Hanseatic League.
- Crane - One of the defining symbols of Gdańsk and represents what little is left of the city’s great trading age.
- Wyspa Spichrzow - Granary Island used to be the centre of Gdańsk trade for centuries and a major source of the city’s historic wealth. By 1643, there were 315 granaries on the island capable of storing up to 250,000 tons of grain and servicing over 200 ships, which helped make Gdańsk the largest harbour on the Baltic and one of Europe’s richest cities. Granary Island is being brought back into public use, thanks to a series of huge construction projects.
- Kladka nad Motlawa na Olowiance - Opened in June 2017, the footbridge connects the main town near to the Hilton hotel with the Ołowianka
- Wyspa Olowianka - Ołowianka Island gets its name from the Polish word ‘Ołów’ (English: Lead) due to the fact that lead metals, sailed upriver from Silesia, were stored on the Island in the Teutonic era. Centuries later, these warehouses were used as granaries, examples of which you see beside The Philharmonic Hall and also The Royal Granary.
- SS Soldek - The first steamship built in Polish Gdańsk after 1945. It has been turned into a living museum.
- Brama Mariacka - A shadowy gothic gate with the most beautiful street in Gdańsk behind it.
- Green Gate (Brama Zielona) - This magnificent four-arched gatehouse on the waterfront was built as a palace for Polish monarchs. No Polish king ever stayed in the building, but Lech Wałęsa had his office here before moving to the European Solidarity Centre.
- Brama Krowia - Cow Gate is set on the Motława end of ul. Ogarna. The name probably comes from the road along which the cattle were driven.
- Motlawa Channel Fortifications - Gdańsk was surrounded by a bastion fort and a stone lock was built in Motława, which could be used to flood the surroundings of the city. We will see what’s left.

If you want fame, go for it - SUP is fun, it does not require any special condition or skills, but requires a good balance. An interesting option for other sightseeing in Gdańsk. So far, paddling on the Motława river arouses a lot of interest and attracts a lot of eyes 😉

Best way to explore the city. - Best way to explore the city. Gdansk is extremely beautifull from the water perspective. Water gates, ships, bridges, cranes are so close. Paddleboarding in such circumstances is really cool. The activity itself is easy and relaxing. I highly recomand!
