Life in Nowy Port
Nowy Port is a historic port district at the mouth of the Dead Vistula into the Bay of Gdańsk. The Nowy Port Lighthouse (which fired the first shot of WWII), the ferry terminals and a direct view across to Westerplatte give it a character you won't find anywhere else in the city.
The district had rough years in the 1990s and 2000s, but for a decade it's been steadily reviving — Instytut Sztuki Wyspa, artistic cafés and regeneration projects. It's a pick for travellers who want character rather than postcard Old Town.
Transport: SKM from Gdańsk Nowy Port station reaches Gdańsk Główny in 12 minutes; trams 8 and 10 take about 25 minutes to the centre. The ferry terminal runs seasonal sightseeing cruises, including to Hel and around the port.

Can you reach Westerplatte from Nowy Port?
Yes — a seasonal passenger ferry runs across the channel from Nowy Port to Westerplatte. It's a short crossing and the quickest way from the district to the peninsula with the monument.
Is Nowy Port a good choice for a stay in Gdańsk?
It's a choice for travellers looking for authentic port atmosphere and a unique sea-facing vantage point. The centre is 12 minutes on the SKM, so transport isn't an issue. We don't recommend it for people who want everything around the corner.
What's worth seeing in Nowy Port?
Above all the lighthouse (with a viewing platform), Instytut Sztuki Wyspa, Fort Carré and the port area itself. From Nowy Port beach you get a view of Westerplatte.
