Today, Gda\u0144sk is still firmly connected with the world, thanks to a catalog of travelling opportunities by air, train, bus, ferry or car. Before travelling, however, please make sure to check visa requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>BY AIR<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is probably the most obvious choice for the majority of travelers. Gda\u0144sk Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa Airport is among the largest and busiest airports in Poland. It is located about 12 km from the city centre, and well-communicated with the rest of the city and its metropolitan area by means of urban railway (PKM), bus routes, taxi services, or private hotel shuttles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gda\u0144sk airport boasts an extensive\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airport.gdansk.pl\/flight-information\/where-we-fly-p3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.airport.gdansk.pl\/flight-information\/where-we-fly-p3.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1681517162008000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2RVuEkUJ0ne0TCvc97RXjR\">network of flight connections<\/a>\u00a0run by Eurowings, Finnair, KLM, Lufthansa, Norwegian, LOT, Ryanair, SAS, SWISS and WizzAir, connecting the city across Europe and with major international hubs like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London and Munich. Thus, acting in advance, there shouldn\u2019t be problems with sensible organization of the trip.<\/p>\n<h3>BY TRAIN<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gda\u0144sk is well-connected to other Polish cities by train, e.g. 3 hours from Warsaw or 6 from Cracow. The main railway station (Gda\u0144sk G\u0142\u00f3wny) is located in the very centre of the city. Available connections can be checked and tickets purchased at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercity.pl\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.intercity.pl\/en\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1681517162008000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0QiURcvfH6eTRLT857ix9x\">PKP Intercity site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>BY BUS<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An underpass away from the main railway station is the main bus station of Gda\u0144sk. However, buses coming to and from Gda\u0144sk, while numerous, sometimes start or end their routes at different locations, so it is advised to consult the details at dedicated sites, like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.busradar.com\/?city=gdansk?currency=PLN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.busradar.com\/?city%3Dgdansk?currency%3DPLN&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1681517162008000&amp;usg=AOvVaw329pV8yS81WCcJAQmLULoF\">this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>BY FERRY<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gda\u0144sk has a long maritime tradition.

Nevertheless, the rate of accidents is still relatively high. Three European routes reach Gda\u0144sk: E28, E75, E77. The \u201cAmber\u201d paid highway A1 connects Gda\u0144sk with the Poland\u2019s south.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To drive in Poland, one needs its native driving license or in specific cases an international driving license.
