    The Old Town of Elbląg with a historic urban layout, an outer bailey, a monastery and hospital complex, with a church path characteristic of Elbląg, with a group of reconstructed tenement houses, this is a place that every tourist should visit. The Old Town has been undergoing reconstruction for over a dozen years. Tenement houses that are built refer to the old style. The area of the Old Town is an Eldorado for researchers of the past, the largest architectural training ground in Europe. Objects or their fragments excavated by archaeologists go to the Elbląg museum. In the Old Town, numerous cafes, pubs and pizzerias await tourists. In the Old Town you can find many tourist attractions, incl. gothic buildings: cathedral St. Mikołaja, Art Center - Galeria El, Brama Targowa. While in Elbląg, it is also worth visiting the Museum in Elbląg and the Elbląg Library.
    Here you can also start your trip along the unique water trail, which is the Elbląg Canal. From Elbląg, you can go on a cruise to Krynica Morska.
    The Elbląg Old Town is one of the largest in Europe, in terms of area, covered by comprehensive archaeological research. On the basis of the huge amount of excavated artefacts, from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century, it is known what the everyday life of former Elbląg inhabitants looked like, how they lived, worked, played, dressed, and ate. Among the several hundred thousand exhibits found, the most valuable are: eight musical instruments, 23 wax tablets, six pilgrim signs, magnificent Moorish medieval plates, toys, weapons, glassware. The multitude and variety of discovered objects testifies to the intense commercial contacts of the former Elbląg inhabitants with almost all of Europe, from Norway to Spain, England and Italy, as well as to their wealth. Archaeological research in the Old Town of Elbląg has been carried out seasonally, since 1980, by a group of archaeologists from the Urban Archeology Laboratory at the Museum in Elbląg.
