21 Best Things To Do in Gdansk, The Coastal town of Poland

Gdansk was one of the first cities that I came across while researching on the best things to do in Poland.

Gdansk is the country’s gateway to the Baltic Sea.

So Gdansk is a favourite among the Polish as well as international travellers, who fly to Gdansk for a beach holiday during summer for its beaches.

In this travel guide, I’ll share with you the best things to do in Gdansk.

This exhaustive Gdansk travel guide includes some great tips, transport, tours, and many more apart from Gdansk’s attractions.

Don’t forget to book this post to plan your Gdansk trip!

BEST THINGS TO DO IN GDANSK

Wander around the old town of gdansk.

When you are in a European city, checking out the old town is obviously one of the top things to do.

What’s different in the case of the old town of Gdansk is that the old town is not really old.

Gdansk was almost entirely wiped out in World War II.

So the old town was actually reconstructed to resemble the earlier buildings, which were all built in the Dutch Renaissance style because the earlier architects were from the Netherlands.

Did you know? Most of the street names in the old town of Gdansk haven’t been changed in the last 500 years or so.

Also, unlike the old towns in other cities, you’ll not find a square.

Instead, the old town area is spread between the streets, beginning at Dluga street or Long street, and extends up to Dlugi Targ or the Long Market.

On the way, you’ll pass through the majestic Town Hall and Arthur’s Hall.

I had joined a free walking tour of the old town, and the guide told us about the Royal route, which includes the Dluga street.

Encompassing many prominent buildings, it starts at Wyznna street and passes through Dlugi Targ, which ends at Brama Zielon.

I just navigated using Google maps to find the others not covered in the tour.

All the places are well-marked on the maps and you should be able to find them easily.

Here are some of the guided walking tours that you can try. There are different types of tours to explore Gdansk old town, with some including audioguides.

• Gdansk Old Town 2 Hour Walking tour
• Gdansk Old Town Private Walking Tour

Head to Stocznia Gdansk or Gdansk Shipyards

As I mentioned earlier, Gdansk was a prominent port city for more than 7 to 8 centuries.

So its legacy with shipbuilding dates back to these times when the city was just granted the privilege to trade.

Once home to more than 20,000 workers who built round the clock to build ships, Gdansk shipyards became a meeting point for those who led the Solidarity movement against communism in the late ’70s. This is really a great place to capture through your lens.

While here, don’t miss the Crane

As you pass by the shipyards, you can’t help feeling as if you have arrived in a Dutch city like Amsterdam.

With canals and Dutch-styled buildings, I instantly remembered my travels in Amsterdam a few weeks ago.

What you can’t miss amidst these elegant uniform buildings is the Crane, which sits on the Motlawa River. It stands out today due to its antique appearance.

The crane hoisted the masts of ships, along with loading them with goods.

Our guide explained the mechanism of how it worked, and I couldn’t stop being amazed by the engineering feat of medieval times.

Travel Through Time on Mariacka street

Mariacka Street is unique and special because of its layout.

As soon as you enter, you notice that all the buildings on the street are above the ground level.

The narrow, cobbled street consists of stairs consisting of 3 to 4 steps leading you into the buildings.

This elevation is an example of how the streets in Gdansk earlier existed.

Due to its damp nature and close proximity to the waterfront, much of the streets would be submerged, and hence all the buildings would be built at an elevation.

The traditional buildings stand elegantly in different bright colours, and it’s just a treat to watch such cuteness.

And if you are traveling with your partner, this is surely one of the romantic places to be in Gdansk.

Mariacka Street is known just for this. It is the centre for modern-day Amber shopping.

You’ll see shops selling amber jewellery in all shapes and sizes.

The basements of these buildings today house beautiful cafes, boutique shops and places to shop for souvenirs in Gdansk.

At the other end of the street is the impressive Mariacki Church.

Visit the Amber Museum

Called the Baltic’s Gold, Amber is a favourite among the precious stones for many. Did you know? Poland is the largest exporter of Amber in the world.

Much of the Amber comes from the Gdansk area, so obviously Gdansk Amber is too popular.

So while you are here, head to the Amber Museum to know all about it.

From furniture adorned with Amber to the antique collection, this Museum is a compact place to know about Amber. Plus, you get some pretty views of the old town from its top floor.

Amber Museum timings: 9 AM to 8 PM. Closed on Mondays Entry fee: 12 PLN

Head to St. Catherine’s Church Tower for Gdansk’s views

St. Catherine’s church is not hard to miss while you are in the old town area.

To get some fabulous views of Gdansk, climb the tower to the top. All the climb is worth it, totally.

Check out the old post office

Located next to the harbour area in central Gdansk, The old post office has a special place in History.

Officially, this is where World War II kicked off when the German troops attacked the post office in the wee hours. More than 50 Polish employees fought to protect the attack.

The building also includes a museum, which showcases the events leading up during the war and also the history of the postal service.

There is a square consisting of a statue commemorating the defenders of the post office.

Visit the World War II Museum

Opened in 2014, World War II Museum is one of the best Museums that I have visited.

I love history and hence Museums are enchanting to me, but I must say that I loved this place impartially.

You’ll be taken through the entire war period, starting from the events before the war until the many decades, where you’ll see how the World War II shaped and rewrote history for millions of people across many countries in the world forever.

There are lockers and if you have a backpack with you, you’ll need to put it in a locker.

Only small handbags are allowed. 2 PLN deposit is required for a locker.

You can keep your coats in the coat racks for free. The museum is closed on Mondays, and if you want to save some bucks, the Museum is free to visit on Tuesdays.

So it’s crowded on Tuesdays. Try to be early to collect your free pass on Tuesdays.

World War II Museum timings: Closed on Mondays. Tue-Fri: 10 AM to 7 PM; Sat-Sun: 10 AM to 8 PM. World War II Museum entry fees: Free entry on Tuesdays. Normal ticket – 23 PLN; Reduced ticket – 16 PLN; Family ticket – 55 PLN; Temporary exhibition – 1 PLN

Check out the Solidarity Museum

The people of Poland fought against communism much like their neighbours for more than 2 decades.

The Solidarity centre was built to commemorate the heroes that were responsible.

The building houses a museum, statues outside, and you can easily spend half a day here.

Solidarity Museum timings: Mon–Fri – 10 AM to 7 PM; Sat-Sun – 10 AM to 8 PM Solidarity Museum entry fees: Regular 20 PLN

Unusual Things to do in Gdansk

If you are still wondering what to see in Gdansk, here are few more Gdansk attractions that you can explore.

Visit the Library in the Solidarity Museum

If you are a bookworm like me, you could check out the library that’s present in the same building where the Solidarity Museum is located.

There aren’t many books in English, but if you speak any of the European languages, you could end up finding a good read.

Check out the Antique Gdansk Railway Station

If you don’t have detail for an eye, you could possibly pass off Gdansk railway station. But if you take a moment, you’ll notice a lot happening around this area.

First of all, the railway station is an example of ancient European architecture. Opposite it stands the bus station.

If you walk below crossing the bus station to the other extreme end, you’ll enter a local market, where you could find some old traditional eateries and cheap places to shop in Gdansk.

I enjoyed strolling around in this area, where I managed to grab something cheap to eat as well as do some shopping in Gdansk on a budget.

A quick tip: If you are traveling during Autumn or Winter, make sure to check out this neighbourhood early as many shops close around 6 PM.

Discover the vibrant murals in Zaspa

Zaspa is home to the largest outdoor art gallery in Europe, consisting of vibrant wall murals.

All of them free to see! If you want to know the legends and local stories of these murals, you can take guided tours of Zaspa neighbourhood.

Sign up for Gdansk food tour

I am sure that after spending a good time in Poland, you would most likely develop a taste for Polish food.

The best way to get into the heart of Polish food is to enroll yourself for a food tour in Gdansk.

On this guided license tour, you’ll get to savour Polish drinks, appetizers, main courses as well as desserts.

Book Gdansk Food Tour With Authentic Polish Cuisine

Eat at a Milk Bar

One of the fun things to do in Gdansk is to go Milk Bar hunting. Milk Bars are local restaurants serving delicious Polish food at very cheap prices.

The portions are massive, the taste is delicious and you pay by the weight of the food. Plus, they are home-cooked.

So basically for backpackers and budget traveler, it’s like a jackpot! And yes, there are decent options for vegetarians.

So In Gdansk, there are many Milk Bars that are worth visiting.

Some of the popular ones to try are Bar Turystyczny, Pijalnia Wódki I Piwa, Kmar Bar Mleczny, Academic Milk Bar, Syrena and Bar Mleczny Neptune.

Google them to read the reviews and locate them and start your Milk Bar hunt!

Explore the Market Hall

The Market Hall is the local market of Gdansk consisting of three levels.

Built in the 19th century, it looks anything but as an actual market.

From meat to fresh veggies, you can have a look at what the people of Gdansk eat! Visit this market for its unique build and the charm of local markets.

Enjoy the laid back Gdansk Nightlife

Gdansk is a popular destination for stags, and this came to me as a surprise.

I mean, I was expecting more happening things would lure stags, but there are quite a few things in Gdansk for stags.

One of them definitely is making the most of Gdansk’s nightlife.

Sure, it might not be loud and out as in bigger cities, but there are plenty of beer bars, pubs and restaurants for enjoying good Polish Vodka along with excellent food.

Obviously, if you are traveling alone, these places are great to find people to tag along!

Climb the Gradowa Hill

Located just outside the city walls of Gdansk, Gora Gradowa is a small hill offering different views of Gdansk.

If the weather is great, climbing this hill is a perfect thing to do in Gdansk in the evening.  

The Hewelianum Centre, a science centre is also close by.

Gdansk Itinerary

Now you got an idea about the top things to see in Gdansk, let’s look at how you can plan your itineraries to help you visit Gdansk.

How many days in Gdansk should you plan?

Ideally, I would recommend spending 3 days in Gdansk itself, excluding any day trips that is.

I mean with 2 days, you can cover the sights, but you’ll have to rush a bit. Here’s how you can plan Gdansk sightseeing on your own.

1 day in Gdansk

If you have just one day in Gdansk, you should spend the first half exploring the old town.

Try to cover these streets, all part of the Royal Route. Upland Gate (Brama Wyzynna), Golden Gate (Zlota Brama), Prison Tower and Torture Chamber (Wieza Wiezienna), Gdansk Town Hall (Rathaus), Arthur’s Court (Dwor Artusa), Long Street (Dluga), Long Market (Dlugi Targ), Neptune Fountain (Fontanna Neptuna), Green Gate.

Then you can make your way up to the shipyard, checking the crane.

End your old town tour on Mariacka street.

You could then head to the Solidarity Museum or the World War II Museum if Museums are your thing.

If you prefer going to only one, I would suggest WW II Museum.

Alternatively, you could go to Westerplatte, although you’ll have to rush if you are pressed on time.

2 days in Gdansk

Day 1: You could check out the old town and visit either of the museums.

Day 2: Take a day trip to Malbork Castle or head to Sopot for a beach day.

No matter which one you take, you’d be left with some time. You can head to the market hall or the post office in town ending your Gdansk trip.

3 days in Gdansk

Follow the above for the first 2 days.

You could use the third day to do another day trip to Gdynia, Westerplatte, Malbork or head to Oliwa, or take a Gdansk cruise.

How to get to Gdansk?

Trains : The best way to travel in Poland is through trains.

The country has good connectivity through different types of trains, which are also the cheapest way to travel within the country.

You can book the train tickets on this website .

There are four types of trains – EIP, EIC, IC and TLK, with TLK being the cheapest and also the slowest among all.

Sometimes, they do offer promotional tickets or highly discounted tickets, which are easier to get if you buy directly from the ticket office.

You can check for buses as well. There are a few private operators running buses between cities.

You can also fly any major city to Gdansk Airport. 

The Lech Walesa Airport in Gdansk is located about 10 km. You can take the public bus to the city from there or the local train to Gdansk Glowny.

Getting around Gdansk

Public transport is very good in Gdansk and is a very convenient way to travel.

There is a 60-minute ticket at 3.20 PLN regular price, which can be used in trams and buses. A 24-hour ticket costs 13 PLN.

Tickets can be bought in kiosks and ticket offices, and you need to validate them in a small yellow machine in trams, buses and before you board the train on platforms.

Note that you can’t buy a ticket from the driver in trams.

Gdansk Travel Card

You can get them in the central stations or sometimes in big kiosks. Gdansk tourist card offers free/discounted entry to many museums, attractions and shops.

You can top it up with transportation ticket and travel freely all over Tricity using public transportation. The cards come with a validity of 24, 72 and 120 hours.

Where to stay in Gdansk?

Where to stay in Gdansk depends on how far or close you would like to stay from the centre and of course, the budget.

The central area is near the old town, and there are many hotels in Gdansk Old town.

There are some hostels and guesthouses around Gdansk Glowny Central, which is known as Centrum. Being a compact town, it shouldn’t matter much where you stay as the connectivity is good as well.

I stayed at Old Town Hostel, which was actually not in the old town but close to it. It was cheap and clean, with a kitchen that I used to cook something basic for myself.

So If you are looking for a budget hostel, I would recommend the  Old Town Hostel .

Like a ministate all to itself, Gdańsk has a unique feel that sets it apart from other cities in Poland. Centuries of maritime ebb and flow as a major Baltic port; streets of distinctively un-Polish architecture influenced by a united nations of wealthy merchants who shaped the city’s past; the toing and froing of Danzig/Gdańsk between Teutonic Prussia and Slavic Poland; and the destruction wrought by WWII have all bequeathed a special atmosphere that makes Gdańsk an increasingly popular destination.

We chose a trip to Poland due to the fact that my family comes from Poland. It was the best choice. Our guide showed us the house where my family once live...

Both the starting point of World War II and the setting of the famous strikes against Communist control, Gdańsk has played more than a fleeting role on the world stage. Traces of its past are visible in the steel skeletons of shipyard cranes and the Hanseatic architecture of the old town. After all the social and political upheavals of the last century, the city is now busy reinventing itself as a tourist hub.

The Main Town (Główne Miasto)

The waterfront and shipyards.

With its medieval brick churches and narrow eighteenth-century merchants’ houses, Gdańsk certainly looks ancient. But its appearance is deceptive: by 1945, the core of the city lay in ruins, and the present buildings are almost complete reconstructions.

Poland was the first country that Hitler invaded and with it starting World War II. Discover the Polish sites of World War II with this itinerary, from the Northern city of Gdansk where the first battle took place to the concentration camps of Auschwitz close to Krakow.

Huge stone gateways guard both entrances to ul. Długa, the main thoroughfare. Start from the sixteenth-century gate at the top, Brama Wyżynna , and carry on east through the nearby Brama Zlota. You’ll soon come across the imposing Town Hall, which houses a Historical Museum (June–Sept Mon 10am–3pm, Tues–Sat 10am–6pm, Sun 11am–6pm; Oct–May Tues 10am–3pm, Wed–Sat 10am–4pm, Sun 11am–4pm; 10zł, free Mon June–Sept & Tues Oct–May) with shocking photos of the city’s wartime destruction. Further down, the street opens onto the wide expanse of ul. Długi Targ, where the ornate facade of Arthur’s Court (same hours as Historical Museum; 10zł) stands out among the fine mansions. The surrounding streets are also worth exploring, especially ul. Mariacka, brimming with amber traders, at the end of which stands St Mary’s Basilica (Mon–Sat 7.30am–6pm, Sun noon–6pm), the largest church in Poland.

At the end of ul. Długi Targ the archways of Brama Zielona open directly onto the waterfront. Halfway down is the fifteenth-century Gdańsk Crane , the biggest in medieval Europe, part of the Central Maritime Museum (July & Aug daily 10am–6pm; Jan–June & Sept–Nov Tues–Sun 10am–4pm; Dec Tues–Sun 10am–3pm; 8zł; w www.cmm.pl ) spread over both banks of the river. Highlights include an exhibition of primitive boats; for an extra 8zł you can also tour the cargo ship SS Soldek docked outside. Further north loom the cranes of the famous Gdańsk shipyards , crucible of the political strife of the 1980s. Poignantly set outside the shipyard gates is the monument to the workers who formed the anti-Communist Solidarity movement, many of whom were killed during riots in the 1970s. It was here that Poland’s struggle to topple Communism began, a story detailed in the Roads to Freedom exhibition in the Solidarity offices at ul. Piastowskie 24, across from the shipyard gates (Tues–Sun 10am–5pm; 6zł; Wed 2zł).

Introducing Gdansk

About gdansk, gdansk travel guide.

The city seized the limelight again in the late 1970s when insurgent shipyard workers set in motion a chain of events that helped topple the Berlin Wall. Today Gdansk still impresses cruise passengers with its vast shipyards. It also treats those on a Baltic cruise to one of Europe's most attractive old towns - a compact historical core complete with Flemish mansions and a riot of handsome civic buildings. Most cruise ships dock in nearby fellow tri-city Gydnia. Arriving in the sunniest port in Poland , cruise passengers are greeted by a sweeping view of the tri-cities (Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot) as they stretch out across the Gulf of Gdansk, with the urban conurbation flanked by the lush Moraine Hills. Gdansk made a dramatic entrance onto the international stage in 1939 when Nazi warships pounded Westerplatte.

Sightseeing:

The Solidarity Monument is a poignant tribute to the shipyard workers who lost their lives standing up to the might of the Soviet Union and helped change the face of European history. Standing at the mouth of the Baltic Sea, the open-air museum at Westerplatte marks the spot where WWII began. The waterfront proper meanwhile is home to the first steamship built in the city, a mammoth 15th-century crane and the fascinating Maritime Museum. Away from the Motlawa River, most of Gdansk's key sights are located on or around the Royal Way. Formed by Long Street and Long Market, its impressive sights include imposing city gates, Flemish mansions and the towering Town Hall. The latter is home to the city's history museum and also offers great views from its precipitous tower. One of the great pleasures here is walking along the 'way' marvelling at the intricate architecture and painstaking reconstructions. Gdansk also hosts the largest gothic church in Poland: St Mary's Basilica. This magnificent house of prayer can accommodate around 25,000 worshippers. The beach resort at nearby Sopot has Europe's longest pier (500m/1,640ft). Highlights • Hel Peninsula • Kashubian Lakeland • Teutonic castles at Malbork and Gniew • Motlawa River cruise • Frombork

Tourist Information Centres

Gdansk Tourist Organisation Ulitca Długi Targ 28/29, 80-830 Gdansk, Poland Tel: +48 58 301 4355. Website:  http://visitgdansk.com

If you're looking for that special souvenir or gift then the small boutiques that dot the old town are for you. Many of the items on sale are handmade, which makes them unique. Specialities such as : Amber, glass and enamelware, handwoven rugs, silverware, handmade jewellery, dolls in regional costumes, woodcarvings and sculptures crafted from clay and metal can all be found in the historic centre of Gdansk.

Restaurants

Both the Royal Way and Gdansk's waterfront are alive with bustling cafes, which are a good place to relax over a coffee or sample some of Poland's distinctive cuisine. Here you can also sample Polish beers like Zywiec , Warka and Elblag , as well as clear or flavoured vodka.

Polish specialities include Barszcz (fermented beetroot soup), Krupnik (barley soup), Kielbasa (smoked sausage), Bigos (meat, cabbage and mushrooms), Golabki (stuffed cabbage leaves), Szarlotka (apple cake), Paczki (jelly doughnuts), Makowiec (poppy seed cake).

When to go:

Gdansk has a maritime climate with warm summers and mild autumns. The city basks in daytime highs that reach the low 20°Cs (low 70°Fs) during July and August, but temperatures struggle to climb above 1ºC (34°F) in January and February. Rain falls throughout the year. Snow is most likely to occur between December and March.

Gdansk is a rather small port city located in the Northern Poland. This is the birthplace of the world’s first self-determination movement against the Soviet Communist regime. If you love history and culture, you should definitely not miss this city. I must say that I love this city the most in Poland. It’s even one of my favorite cities in Europe!

Gdansk travel guide: Overview of Gdansk

Gdansk is known as a beautiful port city located on the Baltic Sea coast. This place was once the first place of Poland where broke out the World War II and the Solidarity movement (The Independent Self-Governing Trade Union “Solidarity”) contributed to successfully overthrowing communism. Therefore, the modern port city of Gdansk today is often known to tourists as a symbol of a city of freedom and is also considered one of the most famous Polish tourist cities today.

Gdańsk is the main port of Poland and it has had a complicated historical period when it was invaded by many foreign powers. After the decline of the Polish royal family, this place was once occupied by the Austrians, Prussians (present-day Germans) and Russia and disappeared from the world political map for more than a century.

In the early 20th century, this place was freed by Germany, but World War II once again turned Gdansk into a fierce battlefield. It was one of the most devastated cities in Europe at that time. All houses and streets were destroyed to 90% and it took several decades for the Poles to restore them. When I went to see it, I admired the Polish people’s national pride and their will and efforts.

Gdansk, Poland is located right on the coast of the Baltic Sea, so traveling from here to Nordic countries or other Baltic countries is quite convenient. You can take a ferry from Gdánsk to Stockholm, Copenhagen… all are Okay.

Gdansk guide: How to get to Gdansk?

Gdansk has an airport. The airport’s name is Lech Walesa (GDN), named after the leader of Gdansk’s Solidarity (Polish Trade Union). Gdansk Airport is an international airport, quite modern and large, it is easy to find flights here, you can use Google Flights or Skyscanner to search suitable flights. I recommend the low-cost airline Ryanair. You can fly to Gdansk from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the UK, Spain, Israel, and even from the island of Malta! I flew here from Stockholm. Ticket is only about 10 euros/way. But I have to fly from Stockholm Skavsta Airport, so I had paid about 30 euros.

Getting from Gdansk airport to the city center is also very cheap and simple with direct buses. You just need to go out, take bus 210 of ZTM and go straight to Gdańsk Main Station (Gdańsk Główny). The direction of the bus is GOSCINNA direction. This bus runs every 30 minutes. On weekends, one trip every hour. The fare is 3zl (less than 1 euro). Bus tickets can be purchased at ticket vending machines at the bus stop.

Train is also an easy and cheap option if you depart from other Polish cities. This is the homepage of the Polish railway system. You can easily check the railway routes and schedules.

There are very efficient bus companies that run to Gdansk, my favorite one is Flixbus (very familiar with people who often travel in Europe) and Polski bus. Polski bus is a Polish company, running on time and efficiently.

Gdansk travel guide: Getting around Gdansk

• Bus, tram single ticket: €0.75/way.
• Ticket valid for 1 hour: €0.9 (this type of ticket can take many buses and trams. As long as you travel within 1 hour, the ticket above can only take a single trip).
• Day ticket: €3.

You can buy tickets at the ticket vending machines/kiosks or buy directly on the bus. Note that you should only buy directly when you have the right amount for the driver. They rarely have enough cash to give you back. Remember to stamp your ticket when you get on the bus.

• Students under 26 years old will receive a half discount. Remember to bring your identification (ISIC or EURO26 STUDENT card) to prove it. At many major bus stations, there will often be a red ticket vending machine. You can buy tickets here with a bank card or coins.
• Be careful with Gdasnk train stations. Not because it’s dangerous, but it’s … confusing. I was always get lost in it. The pastry shops in the stations are very cheap and delicious, please take advantage.
• Most Polish train stations do not have ticket vending machines. When you go to the place to buy, you have to queue. So, pay attention to arrange time.
• Poland does not offer ticket discounts for international students. They only offer discounts for Polish students who have a Polish student card.

Gdansk travel guide: Where to stay in Gdansk?

During my travel, I stayed at W Kamienicy’s apartment ( Agoda.com or Booking.com ) for €30/night/ 2 people. I booked this room through Booking.com. I thought it was a hotel, but then I found out that it was the house of a Polish man. This guy is very kind and enthusiastic. The house is decorated very cute, comfortable and located right in the old town. This guy let us feel comfortable, so he wasn’t here for a few days when we were there. In general, renting a room is like renting an entire apartment. Not only that, the house is located right in the old town, so it is very convenient to travel, right below the house there are many restaurants. This is by far one of my favorite places to stay!

Or you can consider to stay at La Guitarra Hostel Gdansk ( Agoda.com or Booking.com ).

• Budget: Only about 8 – 10 euros/night/bed for dorminity of 8 people. It’s even cheaper if you choose a bed without breakfast, without tea or coffee, without wifi (I chose this bed because I have a Polish SIM card, so I don’t need the internet, and actually the receptionist still gave WiFi code to me. This bed was only… 5 euros, so cheap). Moreover, I recommend that you go out for breakfast. Polish coffee shops are everywhere, both cheap and delicious. Hotel breakfast is usually not good.
• Convenient location: It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the port or Mariacka street (bar, pub area). 15 minutes to the Long Market Square. 5 minutes walk to the World War II museum.
• Facilities: Clean bed, full heating. The room was full of guests, but the beds are not too close together, so it was not pack. There are cabinets, electronic lockers, feeling quite secure. The kitchen/common room is very large and fully equipped.
• Bathrooms are all tiny. Not very clean either. I don’t like it very much. There seems to be only one minus point. I came in the cold season, the hotel was not crowded, so it was very comfortable to stay.

Below we recommend more best budget, mid-range and upscale hotels with good ratings and reviews you can refer to.

Gdansk travel guide: Where to go, best things to do in Gdansk, what to do in Gdansk

Old Town is one of the most famous and must visit tourist attractions. This place was carefully reconstructed after being flattened in World War II and has many similarities with other old towns in cities such as Amsterdam, Brugges, Riga… The old town is really beautiful and impressive with brilliant red tile roofs of colorful houses and buildings. This is probably one of the 3 old towns in Europe that I feel most excited about.

During World War II, Hitler began to rampage and decided to raze the old town of Gdansk. Many unique architectural works with Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance styles were completely destroyed during the war.

Only 37 buildings remained, but not so that the Poles were discouraged when they decided to rebuild the old town after the war. They learn and offer a lot of restoration methods to rebuild this old town. Even the study of 14th century building materials and reuse of bricks and stones from medieval constructions elsewhere to bring back here and rebuild buildings and houses in Gdansk.

Dluga Street (ul. Dluga)

The main street of the old town is Dluga Street. This is also the area with the busiest cultural and commercial activities in the city. Because of the history of trade with many countries such as Germany and Flamand (originating of the Netherlands and Belgium today), it is not difficult to realize that the architecture here is also partly influenced by these countries. Most of the buildings here have also been restored in the 20th century and are modeled after the 18th century.

Mariacka Street (Ulica Mariacka)

Gdansk’s history is associated with amber because the city thrived on the export of this luxury item throughout Europe. And the Mariacka road is a clear example of that period of great prosperity in Gdansk.

Along both sides of the street are many souvenir shops specializing in amber related items. The architecture of the buildings along the two sides of the road is also characteristic of the city with awnings that jut out into the street and are decorated very gracefully. So gentle!!

St. Mary’s Church (Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk)

Address: Podkramarska 5, 80-834 Gdańsk, Poland Hours: 9AM–6PM/Sunday: 1–6PM

The construction of the Gothic St Mary’s Church began in the 14th century but was not completed until 140 years later. This tourist attraction is one of the largest brick churches in the world with a capacity of up to 25,000 people. Although it is massive, the interior is decorated quite simply. The church has 31 chapels, more than 30 large windows and an astronomical clock.

Artus Court Building

In the port area, the Artus Court building with the Neptune fountain is considered the second symbol of Gdansk. This famous tourist place is the most concrete proof of the port city’s heroic past.

The Artus Court building was built as a symbol of the unity of businessmen in the busy trading period of the city. In addition, the Artus Court also acts as a seat of economic law and a place to protect the interests of trade associations. The building was also completely destroyed by the Nazis after a bombing during World War II. And it was not until 1970 that this famous tourist attraction was restored based on the original old version. Today, the Art Court building is not open to visitors but only serves as a place to receive heads of states.

Other Gdansk tourist attractions

• European Solidarity Centre (Europejskie Centrum Solidarności)
• Museum of the Second World War (Muzeum II Wojny Swiatowej)
• Westerplatte port area (The military area of Westerplatte): The first place the Nazis attacked in Poland during World War II. There are quite a few buildings left after the war. There are also many records of the war shown in this area. I find it quite interesting too. Come to read to know that the Poles are extremely resilient and indomitable!

Malbork Castle

Don’t just visit Gdansk only! My motto has always been to go less with quality instead of always moving between cities. If you have taken a trip to Gdansk, you should spend half a day to visit the world’s largest brick medieval castle, Malbork.

Malbork Castle was built in the 13th century, is a trench of the Teuton Knights (Teutonic Order) – the Catholic Church of Germany. Later it became the Polish royal palace. During the Prussian dynasty, Malbork became a refuge for the people. The latter was heavily destroyed during World War II. It is now a popular UNESCO heritage site in Poland.

Private Tour of Malbork Castle from Gdansk

Malbork is about 45 minutes by train from Gdansk. Malbork Castle was recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage in 1997 as the largest Gothic brick building in the world. This castle was built in the 12th century – typical of a medieval fortress.

Gdansk guide: Suggested Gdansk travel itinerary 3 days 2 nights

For me personally, self-sufficient travel to Gdansk needs about 2 full days is enough. If you still have time, visit Malbork Castle – 45 minutes by train from Gdansk.

• Day 1: Old Town — Artus Court — Dluga Street — St. Mary’s Church — Mariacka Street — Port area.
• Day 2: Westerplatte area. You just need to find the way to Westerplatter. This place is about 13km from the center of Gdansk: World War II Museum and Military museum).
• Day 3: Visit Malbork Castle if you have time.

Gdansk travel guide: What and where to eat in Gdansk

Gdansk has a fairly large Forum shopping mall located right opposite the old town. It offers a lot of food from Polish traditional cuisine to Asian cuisine or fast food. The price is also around €5 and you already have a pretty good meal.

In addition, most of the streets in the old town have a lot of restaurants. Please look at the menus outside first and then choose which restaurant is crowded to enter. The day I went, I ate at Seafood Station Restaurant , Bar & Grill and Thai Thai restaurant specializing in Thai dishes in the old town.

Also, remember to eat ice cream at Dluga Street. Ice cream costs €1.5-2 but it’s delicious!!

Gdanks guide: Traveling cost

• Hotel: €15/night
• Meals: €15-20/day
• Traveling: €3

Summary of travel costs to Gdansk is really very cheap compared to other countries. Average daily only about €40 is too good. I see a lot of visitors from Germany and Nordic countries like Finland, Sweden, Denmark come here. The price is so cheap, only half or even 1/3 compared to those countries, but traveling is too convenient.

Gdansk travel guide: Some Gdansk travel tips before you go

• The beautiful city of Gdansk is one of the most popular destinations that has emerged in recent years. So it maybe extremely crowded in the summer.
• Eating out in Gdansk is cheap and delicious. Please check out the must-try restaurants in Gdansk.
• Gdansk people in particular and Poles in general rarely speak English. Rather, many people do not know English. You should always have at least Google translate app on your phone.
• Poles will be happier if you know at least Good Morning in Polish (Dzien Dobry), and Thank you (Dzieki).
• Before coming to Gdansk, it was difficult for me to imagine what the city would be like. I think there will be similarities with Baltic countries like Lithuania or like the capital of Warsaw. But then I went to see the city is extremely beautiful, I like it very much. It is recommended that you go if you intend to travel to Poland. I went through 4 cities of Poland, my favorite is Gdansk and Zakopane. Then there is Krakow and finally the capital, Warsaw. Indeed, Poland tourism is not inferior to other European countries!
• If possible, you should go to the old town in the morning. Around 8-9am, there are still quite a few people, so taking photos on the street will be easier and more convenient. Going along Dluga Street will be a small harbor where boats dock to carrying tourists to visit. The harbor is also very beautiful. In general, for me personally, Gdanks tourism is the right standard: “wonderful, quality, cheap” !
• From the Westerpletter area to the center usually takes an hour to have a bus. You should watch the time for your departure and return to not to be miss the bus. This is also the port where you will take ferry to other countries.
• Important: Gdansk was known as Danzig under German influence. There was also a very long period of self-rule that was pro-German. But DO NOT call Gdansk as Danzig. Try to learn how to pronounce the name of this city. Or at the very least you can read it as Danzica. Because the people of Gdansk hate the name Danzig.

Gdansk Visit

Gdansk Visit – Your Gdansk Travel Guide

Perched on the northern coast of Poland, Gdańsk is famous for its shipyards and maritime history. It is here that the Vistula river merges with the Baltic. GdanskVisit will help you make the most of your trip to one of Poland’s biggest tourist destinations.

Gdańsk is a handsome city with a fresh ocean breeze blowing in from the Baltic and lots of tasty seafood restaurants. Offering a different take on Polish history, it has plenty to charm travellers over a long weekend.

These days, it is very popular as a place to eat, drink, and relax around the water. But the city has been the centre of an historical tug of war and, like much of Poland, has been pivotal to key European events – the story of Gdańsk is etched into its colourful architecture and distinctive harbour cranes.

With Warsaw lying almost exactly midway between Gdańsk and Kraków, the three offer contrasting experiences of contemporary Poland. As such, Gdańsk makes a relaxing destination to round off a couple of weeks in Poland.

What Should I See In Gdańsk? What Are Gdańsk’s Must-See Attractions?

Gdańsk is compact and it’s easy to find your way around. However, guided tours take away all the stress of planning and offers the insider’s insight of a local. There really is no faster way of getting to know somewhere new. Get Your Guide has a big range of options, and customer feedback means you aren’t taking a risk when you book.

• As with Kraków’s Market Square, Długi Targ (Long Market) is flanked by beautiful, historical houses, such as Artus Court, each with a story attached. This is were the Historical Museum of Gdańsk in the town hall is located, with its tower views across the city.
• St. Mary’s Basilica is nearby. Dating to the 14th century, the 78m tower can be seen from all over the city and it is big enough to hold 25,000 people!
• For many, Gdańsk is best known for the shipyards that gave rise to the Solidarity movement in the 1980s. The long history of the port is documented in National Maritime Museum and the massive 15th-century loading crane.
• There are a number of cruises around the Gdańsk shipyards . You can, for example, take a 70-minute tour on a replica of an 18th-century Polish river ship, getting close to the famous port cranes and unusual vessels, before travelling via canals and the Motława River to the center of the Old Town.
• Since opening in 2016, the National Museum of WWII has become one of the city’s most popular attractions. As with many of Poland’s new exhibition spaces, the building itself is impressive and the scale of exhibits is often breathtaking. Set aside a whole afternoon.
• The red rust exterior of the European Solidarity Centre is another impressive feat of contemporary architecture. The museum tells the story of Gdańsk during the Soviet era and the post-war fight for freedom.
• If you have a day to spare, take the 40-minute train ride to Malbork and visit the Castle of the Teutonic Order. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is considered the largest castle in the world and was once home to a Catholic order of crusaders. You can also take part in an organised tour with pickup and transport.
• A sobering day trip is also available to the Stutthof Concentration Camp Museum , just under an hour away along the coast. This was the first Nazi camp outside of Germany.
• Finally, Gdańsk is just along the coast from a couple of sandy seaside resorts. See the Other Polish Cities You Can Visit section below.

Where Should I Stay In Gdańsk?

Accommodation always depends on location, budget, time of year. You can find a good 3-star room in Gdańsk for less than 260zł per night (60€), but expect to pay 350-400zł (79-90€) during the peak summer months.

Use Booking.com to get a detailed breakdown of each property and genuine guest reviews. You can reserve online with no upfront fee and pay when you check out. Free cancellations are also available.

How To Get To Gdańsk

Gdańsk on the northern coast of Poland, roughly 340km from Warsaw.

Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport is well-served by budget airlines such as Ryanair and Wizz Air, as well as Poland’s own LOT and other carriers, like Lufthansa and KLM. This means you can reach the city direct from practically every country in Central and Western Europe. The UK is served by 10 routes: Aberdeen, Belfast, Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Newcastle, and Stansted.

You can see a map of every destination on the airport website.

You can find the cheapest flights to Gdańsk with 12go . A single search will show you all available prices and times for your dates. Change the search options as required

Once you arrive, you can take a private airport transfer to your hotel . Somebody will be waiting in Arrivals to take you directly to your hotel.

How To Get A SIM Card In Gdańsk

You should be able to automatically use your existing phone plan in Poland, at no extra charge, if you have a contract registered in any EU country – but check with your provider before you travel.

If your phone contract is based in the UK, you should still be able to use your existing plan in Poland, but there will most likely be a nominal fee. Again, you’ll need to check with your provider for the latest prices.

If you are travelling from outside of the EU, you theoretically have a number of available options. If you have already bought a SIM in another EU country, this should also work in Poland. Otherwise, you could buy an eSIM online or a pre-paid SIM via Amazon before you arrive. The drawback is you cannot test these in advance and you may end up wasting your money.

Instead, we recommend you get a Polish SIM card directly from a branch of Orange, Plus, or T-Mobile. They can talk you through the best deals and make sure everything is working properly. Most young Poles speak excellent English and customer service is usually very good.

It means you will have to travel from the airport to the city centre without a connection, but you are bound to save money if you do.

You’ll need your passport to buy a SIM. Also, make sure your phone is unlocked before you travel.

There are branches of Plus, Orange, and T-Mobile stores in the Forum Gdańsk shopping mall, so you can compare deals. See the map below.

If you are travelling on from Poland, be aware that you may not be able to take your minutes and data with you, due to a local exemption from normal EU practice. So check this with staff before agreeing to purchase.

Considering travel insurance for your trip? World Nomads offers coverage for more than 150 adventure activities as well as emergency medical, lost luggage, trip cancellation and more.

Other Polish Cities You Can Visit From Gdańsk

Due to its location on the northern coast of Poland, Gdańsk makes a great place to start or finish a tour of the country. You could arrive in Kraków, for example, and stop off at one or two places on the way up to Gdańsk, then travel home from there.

Most cities can be reached via public transport in a matter of hours.

Gdańsk is also adjacent to a handful of Poland’s favourite beach resorts, which are very handy for day trips.

Check prices and timetables for buses and planes with 12go and book instantly online. Trains can be booked via the national rail network .

• Gdynia : Gdynia is also a port city with some lovely sandy beaches, and also makes a great day trip from neighbouring Gdańsk.
• Kraków : Beautiful and historic, stunning Kraków should be on everybody’s wishlist during a visit to Poland. You can read more about Kraków on our sister site VisitKrakow.com .
• Łódź : Located in the very heart of Poland, Łódź has shaken off its industrial past and transformed itself into a creative city, offering art, film, and lots of great food. You can read more about Łódź on our sister site VisitLodz.com .
• Sopot : Another seaside resort, between Gdynia and Gdańsk, Sopot is a playground for the rich. With sandy beaches and a pier, as well as the shops, bars, and clubs of Bohaterów Monte Cassino, it can be very busy at the height of the season. Even more than Gdynia, Sopot might be best sampled first as an afternoon out, rounded off with a meal in one of the excellent fish restaurants.
• Warsaw : Poland’s capital city makes a good weekend destination. Much of Warsaw was built after 1945. Even the pretty Old Town is mostly reconstruction. But there are excellent museums and places to eat. You can read more about Warsaw on our sister site WarsawVisit.com .
