Not many people know it's there and it's great if you want to get a rest without going far. It's been renovated in 2017 and is getting nicer every day. My favourite stop on the way home from work. https://goo.gl/images/Fpdxx9

A lovely beach off the bitten track. To get there you pass a pine forest - calming effect regardless the weather. From the city centre take bus #186 direction 'Gorki Zachodnie' or #112 direction 'Przegalina'. It take 40 min on a bumpy road but is worth it. Ask me for details - it's easier to be shown on a map. http://pomorskie.travel/en/Discover-Regions-Tricity-Gdansk/1165/

It's slightly off the main track but still have quite good shops and isn't as crowded as Galeria Baltycka . Easily reachable from my place by bus 227 (15 min) or tram from the city centre.

A Fashion outlet with great prices. https://www.designeroutletgdansk.pl/en/foreign-languages/ From my place take any tram going in the direction 'Lostowice Swietokrzyska', get off at the final stop and from there take bus #155 direction 'Jasien PKM', get off at the stop 'Czerminskiego'. It should take you some 25 min.

Gdansk Airport. The bus #210 takes you to the city centre and it takes ca. 30 min. There is also a local train PKM but most of the trains go to Gdansk Wrzeszcz train station where you need to change the train or get into a tram. Taxi costs 40-70zl depending on the company and at normal traffic you're at my place in 25 min . Ask me for cheap options.
