Gdansk is located in the north of Poland on the Baltic. Gdansk is the major settlement of the Tri-City of Gdansk-Sopot–Gdnyia. If staying longer than a day, it is certainly worth visiting all three.
Although inter-city trains are operated by PKP, the Polish State Railway, most people use the local company SKM for the suburban trains. Local tickets are purchased from booths on the platform, inter-city trains have been purchased from a portacabin in recent years as the apparently never ending redevelopment of the station continues.
Arriving by air, there is another line linking Gdansk and Gdynia. By train, Warszawa to the south east, is under three hours away, Poznan to the south, is a little over this.
On arrival at Gdansk Glowny, the main station, make sure you take the underpass to the eastern side where the Stare Miasto, Old Town, is located a ten minute walk away.
The Old Town has a distinctive charm which makes a return visit likely. Unbelievably, in my first visit to Gdansk in 2016, I totally missed out on the waterfront and the new town which lies beyond.
