Tips & Advice
- Take the SKM train to Gdańsk Śródmieście, then walk through the tunnel toward Forum Gdańsk and along Wały Jagiellońskie to the crossing at Brama Wyżynna.
- Bring a card, since many vendors take cashless payments, and use the ATM at the corner of the Katownia on Targ Węglowy if you need cash.
- If you're driving, use one of the commercial car parks nearby, such as Forum Gdańsk, because the market has no parking of its own.
- For buses and trams, set Targ Węglowy or the Brama Wyżynna stop as your destination to find the quickest connection.
- Only bring your dog if it's relaxed around lots of people, sounds and smells, since those are the dogs the market welcomes.
