Gdańsk - Colourful Gabled Facades - Travel Print
Ranged along Gdańsk's Long Market, a row of ornate gabled townhouses climbs skyward in ochre, rust and teal, their facades trimmed with scrollwork and finials. A gilded weathervane and slender spires catch the light against a pale blue sky.
A striking piece for lovers of Hanseatic architecture, historic streetscapes, or the storied character of Poland's Baltic coast.

Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Along the Baltic coast, where amber has washed ashore for centuries, Gdańsk rises in gabled splendour. This is a city forged by trade and tempered by history, where Hanseatic wealth and wartime scars sit side by side, inviting you to wander streets that whisper of merchants and revolutionaries.
Walk the length of Ulica Długa, where burghers' houses in ochre and rose lean toward one another above the crowds. Pause at the Neptune Fountain, bronze trident raised over the Long Market, and climb the Motława riverside to the Crane, once used to hoist masts and cargo. Cross to Westerplatte, where the opening shots of the Second World War still echo, and let St Mary's Church draw your gaze skyward.
Beyond its old town, Gdańsk hums with the salt tang of the sea and the clink of amber jewellery in market stalls. Sample smoked fish at the harbour, or raise a glass of Goldwasser. In the shipyards where Solidarity once gathered, history feels close enough to touch.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
