When the king of Poland travelled from Warsaw to Gdańsk, he would enter the city through the Brama Wyżynna (Upland Gate), continue through the Złota Brama (Golden Gate), and then head along ulica Długa (Long Street) and Długi Targ (Long Market) to the Zielona Brama (Green Gate). Although he didn't make this journey often, it was highly profitable for him to visit Gdańsk due to the enormous tax revenue the city commanded through its trade. In turn, Gdańsk's predominantly Germanic city dwellers would negotiate with the Polish king for greater rights, gaining substantially more privileges from him than they ever would from the Prussians in the 18th century.

The Royal Way - Czyli droga po której spacerował król gdy przyjechał z Warszawy
Gdy król Polski wyjechał z Warszawy do Gdańska, wsiądzie do miasta przez bramę Wyżynną, dalej przez Złotą Bramę, a następnie idź ulicami Długą i Długim Targem Rynek) do Zielonej Bramy (Zielona Brama). Choć często nie podróżował tą drogą, to z wielkim dochodem podatkowym miasto mogło przyjechać z wizytą do Gdańska. Z kolei gdańscy przeważnie germańscy mieszkańcy miast negocjowaliby z królem polskim większe prawa, zyskując znacznie większe przywileje od niego niż kiedykolwiek od pruskich w XVIII wieku.
