Gdańsk on foot
Explore Gdańsk from our doorstep
Ul. Jana z Kolna sits a short walk from the historic centre, where brick streets, shipyard history and the Baltic waterfront meet everyday local life.
Old Town
Gdańsk Old Town
Walk the Royal Way from the Golden Gate to the Long Market in under twenty minutes. Brick merchant houses, the Town Hall and the Green Gate give the centre its historic character.
Shipyard heritage
Shipyard and solidarity
The Gdańsk Shipyard shaped the city's modern history. The European Solidarity Centre, a short journey from the hostel, tells that story through exhibitions and archives.
Walk the waterfront
The Motława embankment runs past cranes, cafés and old granaries.
Visit the museums
Exhibitions cover the shipyard, the city's wartime past and maritime life.
Eat local dishes
Milk bars and bistros in the centre serve traditional Polish dishes at everyday prices.
Getting around
Simple ways to move around
Most sights in the Old Town are within walking distance of the hostel. Trams and buses connect the centre with the shipyard district and the coast, and single tickets keep day costs low.
Ask at reception for the current timetable and ticket options before you head out.
