Discover Gdańsk
A handsome Baltic city of Hanseatic streets, shipyard history and an overnight passenger ferry link to Sweden
Gdańsk has one of northern Europe’s most impressive reconstructed historic centres. The Long Market, ornate merchant houses and riverside crane evoke the city’s Hanseatic past even though much of the centre was rebuilt after wartime destruction.
The Motława waterfront is the natural spine of a first visit, linking historic gates, museums and restaurants. Across the river, former port areas have been transformed into modern cultural and residential districts.
Gdańsk’s twentieth-century history is equally important. The European Solidarity Centre tells the story of the shipyard movement that helped reshape modern Poland, while the Museum of the Second World War provides a major international perspective.
The wider Tricity area adds Sopot’s beach and pier plus Gdynia’s maritime attractions, all connected by frequent local rail services.
For ferry travellers, current 2026 timetables include the established Gdańsk–Nynäshamn passenger and vehicle route as well as the newer Gdańsk–Karlshamn link. Both connect Poland with Sweden across the Baltic, but vessel facilities and passenger arrangements vary by sailing.
