Dluga and Dlugi Targ (its extension) Streets are also known as the Royal Route, since it was once the former path of processions for visiting Kings of Poland, and rank among the most beautiful streets in Gdansk. This charming pedestrian thoroughfare is surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical style (primarily from 17th century) and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates. It leaves from the Golden Gate and passes by the Town Hall, Neptune fountain and Arthur's Court, the former meeting place of the city’s merchants, now a branch of the Gdansk History Museum.
