Gdansk
Wizzair flew from Coventry to Gdansk on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Situated on the coast of the Baltic Sea, Gdansk is the capital city of Pomeranian Voivodship. Together with two other cities, Sopot and Gdynia, it forms a conurbation known as the Tricity with a total population of 750,000 (Gdansk itself has 470,000 inhabitants). While Gdynia serves mainly as a port and Sopot as a seaside resort, Gdansk is popular among visitors with its thousand-year history and impressive architecture.
Its Old Town attracts almost as many people as that of Krakow or Warsaw. In the past the city enjoyed a high degree of autonomy, which together with its participation in Hanseatic League, led to great prosperity. During its Golden Age, the turnover of Gdansk was bigger than that of London's East India Company. Later periods in Gdansk’s history were complicated and sometimes even dramatic.
To and from Gdansk airport
Transfer buses go to the central station about every half hour. Walk right as you exit the airport to get to the bus stop, from where you take bus B. The fare is 4,20 zloty make sure you have some small banknotes or change with you. Buy the ticket from the driver - you get three 1,40 zloty tickets and all three of them must be stamped in the machine at the bus. The tickets are also sold at news stands or shops marked "bilety". The bus trip takes around half an hour, but if you get caught in rush hour traffic this may easily double. Remember this when you plan your home trip. More information from the Gdansk transport site.
