PKM, bus, taxi, Uber - a practical guide for travelers

Lech Wałęsa Airport in Gdańsk is one of the best-connected airports in Poland. You can get to the city center quickly by public transport, taxi, or ride-hailing apps such as Uber, Bolt, or FreeNow.

For many people visiting the Tri-City, the first question after landing is: what is the easiest way to get from the airport to the center of Gdańsk? In this guide, we have collected all the essential information — prices, travel time, available apps, current disruptions, and practical tips for guests of Hotel Milo Gdańsk Airport.

Where is the airport in Gdańsk located?

Lech Wałęsa Gdańsk Airport is located about 12 kilometers from the city center. Thanks to its convenient location, the trip to Śródmieście usually takes from 20 to 60 minutes — depending on the chosen mode of transport and traffic conditions.

A great advantage is the well-developed public transport and quick access to the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway (PKM).

PKM - the fastest way from the airport to Gdańsk city center

For many travelers, the best option is PKM, the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway. The train station is located right by the airport, and it takes just a few minutes on foot from the terminal.

PKM offers fast connections to, among others:

• Gdańsk Wrzeszcz,
• Gdańsk Główny,
• Sopot,
• Gdynia.

In practice, this is often the fastest way to get around the Tri-City, especially during rush hours.

How much does PKM cost from the airport?

The ticket price depends on the selected route, but the trip to central Gdańsk is relatively cheap and usually costs a few zlotys.

Tickets can be purchased:

• at ticket machines on the station,
• through the Jakdojade app,
• via mobile carrier apps,
• by payment card at selected sales points.

Does the PKM operate at night?

No. Train service is limited during night hours, so for late arrivals it is worth considering a night bus or a taxi/Uber ride.

Bus from the airport to Gdańsk city center – lines 210 and night N3

Another very popular option is the city bus.

The most well-known lines are:

• 210 – running between the airport and Gdańsk center,
• N3 – night bus.

Bus 210 – what is worth knowing?

Line 210 has been one of the cheapest ways to get to the city center for years. The bus serves many stops on the way and reaches the vicinity of central Gdańsk.

However, it is worth remembering that roadworks and infrastructure modernization are currently underway in Gdańsk, so routes and traffic organization may temporarily change. It also happens that bus 210 does not go directly to Gdańsk Główny as before or operates on detours.

Therefore, before your trip, it is best to check the current timetable:

• in the Jakdojade app,
• on the ZTM Gdańsk website,
• or directly at Hotel Milo.

Jakdojade – an app worth having in Gdańsk

If you plan to use public transport around the Tri-City, it is definitely worth downloading the Jakdojade app.

It is one of the most popular transport apps in Poland and also works in Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia.

In the app, you can:

• check timetables,
• find the best route,
• buy tickets,
• track stops,
• check delays and route changes.

For tourists visiting the Tri-City, this is definitely the most convenient solution.

Taxi from Gdańsk airport – convenient ride directly to the hotel

People traveling with large luggage, family, or after a late arrival often choose taxi or ride-hailing apps.

The ride from the airport to Gdańsk city center usually takes about 20–30 minutes.

Which apps operate in Gdańsk?

International ride-hailing apps operate without problems in Gdańsk:

• Uber,
• Bolt,
• FreeNow.

This is currently a very popular option among travelers because:

• you can check the price in advance,
• payment is made through the app,
• it's easy to order a ride after arrival,
• it is often cheaper than traditional taxis.

The cost depends on the time, weather, and number of available drivers but usually ranges from about 40 to 80 PLN.

Do traditional taxi companies operate in Gdańsk?

Yes, local taxi companies also operate at the airport and in the city. However, it is worth remembering that prices may vary — especially during night hours or heavy air traffic.

Therefore many people compare prices simultaneously in:

• Uber,
• Bolt,
• FreeNow,
• and traditional taxis.

What to choose – PKM, bus or Uber?

It all depends on the type of journey.

PKM is best if:

• you travel with light luggage,
• you want to get to the city quickly,
• you care about a low cost.

The bus works well if:

• you seek the cheapest option,
• a longer travel time doesn't bother you,
• you travel during daytime.

Uber, Bolt or taxi will be convenient if:

• you arrive late at night,
• you travel with family,
• you have a lot of suitcases,
• you want to get directly to the hotel.
