Couple travel

I was at Gdańsk with my boyfriend. We spend great time walking through the center. We were at the mall, bought few things. In the end we went to play pool. Gdańsk have one in center. By the time we ate some delicious food so I deffinetly recommend Gdańsk. There is also a beautiful beach nearby!

I lived in Warsaw, Poland for 1 year and had the opportunity to visit many cities. Gdansk is a city by the sea among the Polish cities. The city is very beautiful, especially if you like the structure of the cities in Northern Europe and the old towns. Compared to other European cities, Londonia is cheaper. The currency is Zloty and it is a cheaper city than the capital Warsaw. But I went there with a friend in December and it was incredibly cold. Since it is by the sea, the wind coming from...

Poland is in my opinion very safe country. Gdansh is beautiful city full of galleries, pubs, caffes and people there mind their own business. I had no problem with anything. Olny there are no shops open after 8pm, which i am not used to, but if you buy food for breakfast during the day, you are safe;)

Solo travel

This was my first solo travel in the age of 18. I booked an very cheap hostel with single room but shared bathroom. The room was really ok but the bathroom stinked so much :D Mostly I experienced nature. My favorite activity was to walking by the see with my foot in the water ale looking into sea.

I really liked Gdansk. I didn't have a great desire to visit, but I found incredibly cheap flights. Visiting this place is relatively cheap, it has beautiful architecture and there is a beach about 20 minutes away by taxi and 30 minutes by train. I visited this place alone and felt completely safe.

I spent 3 wonderful days in Gdansk and I highly recommend it. Fantastic city. I had a great walk around the city. The beach and promenade were also charming. The transportation there was very safe and easy to use.

Gdansk is such a charming place. Walking around downtown, all the colorful houses look adorable. There is the Long Market, the main pedestrian street with cafes, shops, and fountains. I went to the World War II museum, but it was a bit overwhelming for me. I recommend trying Pierogarnia Stary Młyn for good, traditional pierogi.

I was alone in Gdansk. I recommend seeing the statue of Poseidon and visiting St. Mary's Church. Inside (in the back of the sanctuary) there are stairs, for which you can pay about 2 dollars and go up to the roof.

I spent a week in Gdansk / Sopot / Gdynia in July. I walked around Gdansk in the middle of the night because it was very hot during the day. I took the local suburban train late with no issues. I didn't encounter any thieves. I would highly recommend learning the basics of the Polish language. I did this before my trip and it was necessary because most people outside the service sector didn't speak English or spoke very little. Initially, I had some trouble reading the timetables and the ticket...

I just returned from Gdańsk, which I've visited this weekend and I would like to recommend the Museum of the Second World War. The entrance fee is about 4 pounds and it was incredible! We also went to the Stutthof concentration camp, which is about 50 minutes by bus from the city center, and the entrance is free! FreeNow / Bolt are so cheap there - it cost me about 7 pounds to get from the airport in Gdańsk to the city center (about 25 minutes drive). One thing I would like to say, definitely...

Poland is a safe country, however Gdańsk has a lot of tourists coming from everywhere doing everything so... just beware of drunk strangers! Pick pocketing is not as common, but obviously watch your things, especially in the old city.

Gdańsk is generally a very safe city. I have lived here most of my life and I feel comfortable walking around both during the day and in the evening. The city centre and most neighbourhoods are safe and welcoming for residents and tourists. The only area I would not particularly recommend is Lower Orunia (Orunia Dolna), especially late at night. Other than that, Gdańsk is a great and safe place to visit and live.

I feel fine walking home alone at any hour for however long. Sometimes during the day some people may nudge you about something but it's mostly cuz they want some money for sth or they just want to talk.

i didn’t have much of a troublesome experience but in overall gdańsk is pretty safe, but remember to be always aware of your surrounding, especially at night and on skm/train stations, you can meet different people around there.

Overall a safe place, though there might sometimes be some people that are just mentally unstable or alcoholics. Some polish people have negative opinions about LGBTQ+ people, so its best to avoid them. I might also stay away from less populated parts of the city where you could find yourself alone.

Better to walk in popular areas at night, I hate Orunia and zakoniczyn, overall during the day it's fine. U should be safe with company. The safest areas that I know personally are Wrzeszcz and city centre
