Getting Around
Gdansk has a compact and walkable city centre, making it easy to explore on foot. Public transport is convenient, with buses and trams operating regular services throughout the day. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks or vending machines before boarding, though mobile apps are also available for some services.
Taxis are affordable, and booking by phone is usually cheaper than hailing one on the street. To avoid being overcharged, it's best for travellers to ask their hotel for an estimated fare and agree with the driver before starting the journey. Ride-sharing apps such as Uber and Bolt are also widely available.
For travelling between Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, the fast train system (SKM) is the most efficient option. Trains run every 10 to 15 minutes during the day, with fewer trains at night, and tickets are available at ticket machines with instructions in English. Children under four travel for free. The Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia Plus Tourist Card grants free access to the Tri-City transport network and discounts on various attractions.
In addition to public transport, Gdansk offers ferry rides along the Motlawa River and to nearby destinations. The city also has a bike-sharing system, Mevo, allowing visitors to rent bikes easily to explore the city and its surroundings.
