What “central Gdańsk” actually means

Gdańsk has no single centre, and that trips up most first-time visitors. The administrative city centre stretches from the Lower Town all the way to the Young City, but what a traveller means by “the centre” is the Main Town: the Golden Gate, the Long Market, the Crane and Mariacka Street. This collection lists only apartments you can walk from — roughly a quarter of an hour at most, with no tram ride and no hunting for a parking space.

In practice these are three neighbouring areas. Granary Island sits directly across the Motława from the Long Market — from Jaglana or Chmielna you cross the footbridge and stand in the middle of the old town seven or eight minutes later. The Main and Old Town means addresses inside the historic fabric itself: Ogarna, Świętojańska, Garncarska. The east bank — Długa Grobla, Angielska Grobla, Świętej Barbary, Długie Ogrody — is the quieter side, facing the Crane, a short walk through the Green Gate.

Which area to pick

First time in Gdańsk. Granary Island. The old town is right there, yet in the evening you come back to the calmer bank — modern buildings, lifts, quiet flats. This is what most guests choose for a two or three-day sightseeing trip.

You want a historic tenement. The Main Town: Ogarna or Świętojańska. The atmosphere is unmatched, but expect noise under the windows on summer weekends, and some buildings have no lift.

You are arriving by car. The east bank and Długie Ogrody. Still walking distance to the old town, but the buildings have underground garages, so you avoid circling the city centre. Parking in the historic core is paid and very limited.

You want water outside the window. See our separate selection of apartments by the Motława, where we picked only addresses right on the waterfront.

Getting there and getting around

From Lech Wałęsa Airport the centre is about 25–30 minutes by car or taxi. By public transport: the PKM train to Gdańsk Wrzeszcz, then the SKM commuter train to Gdańsk Główny or Gdańsk Śródmieście — 40 to 50 minutes in total. From the main station most addresses on this list are a walk of ten to fifteen minutes.

Inside the centre, walk. Distances are short — going from Granary Island to the Long Market takes less time than waiting for a tram. For Sopot and Gdynia take the SKM from Gdańsk Śródmieście or Gdańsk Główny: about 20 minutes to Sopot, about 35 to Gdynia.

Frequently asked questions

Which apartments in Gdańsk are closest to the old town?

The closest addresses to the Long Market are on Granary Island — from Jaglana or Chmielna you cross the footbridge over the Motława and reach the heart of the old town in seven or eight minutes. A handful of flats on Ogarna and Świętojańska sit inside the Main Town itself. Every apartment on this list is at most a fifteen-minute walk from the old town.

How do I get from Gdańsk airport to the city centre?

By car or taxi from Lech Wałęsa Airport the centre is about 25–30 minutes away. By public transport, take the PKM train to Gdańsk Wrzeszcz and change to the SKM commuter train for Gdańsk Główny or Gdańsk Śródmieście — 40 to 50 minutes in total. Both stations are within walking distance of most of our addresses.

Is there anywhere to park in central Gdańsk?

Parking in the historic core is paid and spaces are scarce, so it is worth booking an apartment with a garage from the start. Buildings on Granary Island, at Długa Grobla and at Długie Ogrody have underground parking, but places are limited and are reserved together with the apartment.

Is the centre noisy?

It depends on the address. In the historic tenements of the Main Town, around Ogarna and Piwna, summer weekends stay lively until late. Granary Island and the east bank of the Motława are noticeably quieter — modern buildings with good windows, separated from the old town by water, yet still within walking distance.

How much does a stay in central Gdańsk cost?

The price depends on the dates, the size of the flat and the length of stay — July, August and event weekends are the most expensive, November to March the cheapest. You will see live rates for your dates once you select them in the search box on this page. Booking directly with us costs less than through the portals, because we do not add their commission.

Should I stay in the centre or by the sea?

If you are coming to see Gdańsk, the centre wins easily — monuments, restaurants and museums are on your doorstep, and the beaches in Brzeźno or Jelitkowo are 25–30 minutes away by tram. Staying at the beach makes sense mainly for a longer, holiday-style trip in high summer.

What can I see on foot from the centre?

Within a fifteen-minute walk you have the Long Market with the Artus Court and Neptune's Fountain, the Crane and the Maritime Museum on the Motława, St Mary's Basilica with its viewing tower, Mariacka Street, the Great Mill and the Amber Museum. A little further, but still walkable, are the European Solidarity Centre and the former shipyard.

Is there a reception desk?

Yes — our reception is staffed around the clock, so you can check in after a late flight or a late train. You receive the keys and entry instructions before arrival, and there is always someone to call if something needs fixing in the apartment.
