Gus

December 13, 2023

Gdansk has flourished into one of the lesser-known gems on the Baltic Sea. It is a city that will dazzle you with its beauty, educate you with its inspirational history and leave you with unforgettable memories.

The airport is well connected to the downtown area and there are a few different transport options available, including travel by public transport. The most convenient and fastest travel option from Gdansk Airport to the city centre is using an airport taxi or private transfer, which will get you to your destination in 20 minutes.

The public transport options include the PKM train service that will take you into the northern part of the city (Wrzeszcz Station) from where you will then get a connecting train to Gdansk Glowny (Main Railway Station). The alternative and only direct public transport option is to take the 210 bus service from the airport directly to Gdansk Glowny. The train service will take between 35 and 50 minutes depending on the connection and the bus service will make the trip in about 45 minutes.

Where do I get a taxi from?

There are two sections at the airport where you can get a taxi from. The taxi rank at the airport is located right outside the Arrivals terminal and is designated for Neptun, the official taxi company that serves the airport.

All the other pre-booked taxi companies will pick up and drop off from the ‘Kiss and Fly’ parking area that is directly next to the taxi rank – unless your provider has given you a different pickup point, of course!

Convenience

Taking a taxi from Gdansk Airport to Old Town or anywhere else you are staying in the city is the most convenient and fastest way to reach your accommodation. It is the only direct transport option that will provide door-to-door service with the least amount of effort, offering comfort and privacy. The airport taxi service is especially convenient if you are travelling with children or a lot of luggage.

Editor’s Note

Gdansk taxi companies usually provide better rates when bookings are made in advance of the transfer.

Useful Tips

Fixed-rate fares are offered by most taxi companies and can often be a little more affordable than metered fare transfers.

Always use a licensed taxi company in Gdansk as unregistered drivers operate in the city. Licensed taxis will have the company name and telephone number on the door and the top of the vehicle.

If you prefer to pay for your transfer by card let the taxi representative or driver know at the time that you are making the booking.

How to get from Gdansk Airport to the city centre by train

One of the public transport options to get from Gdansk Airport to the city centre is by train. It is not a direct service and will involve one connection. The train service is run by Polregio and the route is the PKM (Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway) train that runs from 4:35 to 22:12 daily at 30-minute intervals.

The train departs from Port Lotniczy Station at the airport and will transport you to Wrzeszcz Station which is about 3 km north of the city centre. From Wrzeszcz Station the easiest thing you can do is to then take the next train to Gdansk Glowny the city’s main railway station. The second leg of the journey should be a short ride, between 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of stops your chosen train makes.

How much does the train cost?

The train transfer from Gdansk Airport to the city centre is very affordable at a cost of only €1.15 (PLN 5.09). Tickets can be purchased from vending machines on the platform or directly from the conductor on the train.

The train service runs from 4:35 to 22:12 daily, every 30 minutes.

Where do I get the train from?

The Gdansk Airport train station (Port Lotniczy) is located in Terminal 2 (T2) and is connected to it by a footbridge. It is a short walk from the Arrivals Hall where you will find signs showing you the direction of the train station.

Convenience

The train from Gdansk Airport to the city centre is an affordable and convenient public transport option with its regular, daily service. It does however involve changing trains at Wrzeszcz Station in order to get closer to the centre of the city, so requires a longer travel time and having to navigate this connection. You will also still have to make your way from the main train station (Gdansk Glowny) to your final destination which may involve walking, having to catch another public transport service (bus, tram) or taking a short taxi ride.

Editor’s Note

A more convenient option might be to take the train service from the airport to Wrzeszcz Station and from there to take a taxi, thus avoiding having to navigate any further connections and being transported right to the entrance of your accommodation.

Useful Tips

Another way to find the airport’s train station (Port Lotniczy) is to follow the red line marked on the terminal floor. The red line will take you straight there.

Once you have your train ticket do not forget to validate it before boarding the train.

The train ticket vending machines accept both cash in local currency (zloty) and card payments.

The train service from Gdansk Airport is wheelchair accessible and includes toilet facilities for wheelchair users.

Where do I get the bus from?

Bus route 210 departs from the bus parking lot at Port Lotniczy. This is located about 50 metres outside the airport’s terminal 2 (T2), just past the airport train station.

Convenience

It is also a regular service and no connections are required to reach the main railway station downtown.

You will also still have to find your way to your hotel or accommodation from your alighting point at Gdansk Glowny.

Editor’s Note

If you are planning to travel longer distances using the bus service, there is also a ticket that is valid for 75 minutes, at a cost of €1.35 (PLN 6).

Useful Tips

If you purchase a discounted ticket or can travel for free, you may be asked to prove your eligibility.

The 210 bus service can be busy during peak hours, so the sooner you get to the airport bus stop, the greater the chance of being able to take the next bus service.

You can take your luggage onto the bus at no extra cost but please be considerate where you leave it, so it does not cause any obstruction to other passengers.
