Tips for a smooth trip to Gdansk
Plan ahead and allow for some extra time
Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.
Pack smart
Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.
Stay up-to-date
Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.
Fly with SAS to Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, and you’ll land feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy your time in the city.
There’s a lot to see in the centre of Gdansk. Take a stroll down Dlugi Targ – the main thoroughfare through Gdansk. On your way there are a lot of things to stop and experience. See the Golden gate and the iconic Town Hall tower or take a photo by the beautiful Neptune Fountain and much more.
APRIL 2022Even after visiting the museums, wandering around the city streets and testing the night life, there’s still plenty to do and see in Gdansk. The world’s largest castle, nature phenomena and the remains of the first Nazi concentration camp are all within easy reach.
Malbork Castle
Malbork
Imposing Malbork, the largest castle in the world, was built by the Teutonic Knights, a German Roman Catholic religious order of Crusaders. Originally named Marienburg, or Mary’s Castle, it was built to maintain the Crusader Order’s power in newly conquered areas, that also came to include Gdansk itself. Since then, the Castle has been in Polish, Swedish and Prussian hands and has also acted as a military hospital, Prussian national symbol and a place of pilgrimage for the Hitler Youth in the 1930s. As a German bastion in the Second World War, it was heavily damaged and renovation work has continued right up to 2016. Malbork is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and now houses a museum that hosts many events.
Slowinski National Park
Słowiński
The walking trails in Slowinski National Park are the most extensive of their kind in Europe and something of a nature phenomenon. The towering sand dunes migrate several meters each year and gradually wrap themselves round trees and bushes in dramatic and photogenic ways. Even though the dunes are a popular outing destination, the National Park has plenty more to offer in the form of a beautiful and varied coastline, woods, lakes, rivers and bird life. There are around 140km of trails for walking or cycling with observation towers, benches and resting places. Slowinski National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stutthof
Muzeum Stutthof w Sztutowie
A visit to a concentration camp is not something to put a smile on your face. But when you go around the remains of Stutthof, the first Nazi concentration camp, the scale and horrors of the Nazi regime of extermination become palpable. 110,000 people from 28 countries were imprisoned in Stutthof between 1939 and 1945, of which 85,000 died in the camp. The mounds of shoes belonging to victims, including children, and explanations of life in the camp, the killings, the gas chambers, crematoria and medical experiments are chilling sights, but something worth seeing to understand what happened here in Poland and Europe during those terrible times.
