Where to stay in Gdansk
What we love about Gdansk
Team Leader for Central Europe & Baltic Region
An ideal place to explore the northern area of Poland. Gdańsk itself is very compact and you will find that it is very pleasant to walk and admire all the monuments. This region represents many important historical events in Poland, including the birth of the Solidarity movement and, as a consequence, the coming to power of the first democratically elected President of Poland, Lech Wałęsa. After crossing off all the important sights from the list of places to see, don't forget to check the coast with its wide sandy beaches.
Operations Executive
Gdansk is the pearl of Poland, I fell in love with it at first sight. It has a typical Hanseatic town vibe, the buildings are so beautifully restored. I wish I could have stayed for longer and explore more and more of it. I was impressed with The Museum of the Second World War which is probably one of the best museums I have ever visited in my life. You will learn and understand so much about Poland and Europe from these times, definitely worth the visit.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Gdansk
How can I get around Gdansk?
Most of Gdansk's landmarks are in the Old Town, within walking distance of the accommodations we offer. If you'd like to go a bit further out, such as to Sopot's beaches, you can hop on a streetcar to get there, or even take a train from Gdansk's main station to Sopot or Gdynia. The local taxis are also reliable and affordable.
How long should I stay in Gdansk?
Gdansk may seem small and compact at first glance, but it offers plenty to see and do, so we recommend spending three nights (and sometimes four) there. Beyond the Old Town, you can visit the shipyard where the Solidarity movement began, or the Westerplatte, where World War II's first shots were fired. You can get to know the other Tricities, such as Sopot's beaches or Gdynia's museum ships, or head to Malbork, home to the world's largest castle, the brick wonder that served as the capital for the Teutonic Knights.
How can I take out local currency in Gdansk?
We recommend using one of the city's many bank ATMs.
