Gdansk Airport, Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is an international airport situated 12 km or 7.5 miles west- northwest from Gdańsk, Poland. It also serves a wider, so called, Tricity metropolitan area which includes Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. For an airport its size it has had one of the more noticeable growth rates when it comes to the number of passengers per year. It’s not surprising considering its inexpensive airfare arrangements and the tour opportunities it offers visitors.
The Tricity area offers an endless supply of hotels, ranging all the way to luxurious, and starting from the relative vicinity of Gdansk Airport. You have plenty to choose from, and you’ll have plenty more once the Hampton By Hilton finally oppens. Exploring and sightseeing in the Tricity is best done while staying in one of them so make sure to book your stay. Taxi operators will also be available to take you sightseeing from the hotels, and you can always check in with your own rented car and explore with absolute ease.
Landing in and booking a stay near Gdansk Airport puts you in the perfect place to enjoy the attractions of Gdansk and the entire Tricity. If you check nothing but the Royal road out you’ll get to see the Upland Gate, the Torture House, the Prison Tower, the Golden Gate, the Long Street and Market attractions, including the Neptune Fountain and the Green Gate. And that’s just the medieval centre of one beautiful city in a tourist friendly area sporting three beautiful cities!
Gdansk Airport can be accessed by car, car hire, taxi or public transport. The public transportation is the budget option, and those come with unwritten price labels. The car hire services present at the terminal are probably a better option, considering you might want to visit all three of the neighbouring cities to get a good feel of, or a good deal in, the Pomerranian Voivodeship. Taxi operators, readily available at the airport and in the Tricity area, will also most likely prove to a good option when it comes to moving around at your own pace and leisure.
Gdansk Airport has put a great deal of effort in terms of airport services – their catering is among the best in the world, having won multiple awards granted by the major movers and shakers in the airline company business. Many major retailers have a presence in the terminal main hall as well, and the wider area provides ample chances to pick up as many souvenirs as you can haul back home. A VIP area serves all the meeting needs, and the City Terminal project plans to make the Gdansk Airport a place to visit even if you don’t intend to fly anywhere!
