TRANSPORTATION TO GDYNIA

Geographical Location
Thanks to its geographical location and developed transport infrastructure, Gdynia is easily accessible by air, sea, rail, and road.

The most environmentally friendly way to get to Gdynia is by air. Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport is located about 25 km from Gdynia (about 25 minutes by car). The airport offers regular connections to major international hubs.

By Road
Gdynia and its port are well-connected with national and international road networks. You can reach Gdynia via the E28 from the west (about 6 hours from Berlin) or via the A1 motorway (E75) and E77 from the south (Łódź or Warsaw).

By Sea
Stena Line offers regular ferry connections from Gdynia to Karlskrona (Sweden). Ferries from Gdańsk sail to Nynäshamn, Helsinki, and Riga.

By Rail
Poland’s railway system is well-developed and serviced by several operators. Gdynia’s main train station offers connections throughout the country and beyond. SKM and PKM trains provide fast and reliable transport across the Tri-City area, running 24/7. The nearest stop – Gdynia Główna – is just 15 minutes walking distance from the regatta village.

GETTING AROUND GDYNIA

Buses/trolleybuses
Gdynia has an extensive network of bus and trolleybus routes connecting all districts of the city as well as nearby towns. Night services are also available at weekends, making them a convenient option for those returning home late.

SKM
The Fast Urban Railway (Szybka Kolej Miejska) is a convenient option for people travelling between Gdynia, Gdańsk, and Sopot. Trains run frequently, both during the day and at night, providing a fast and reliable way to travel without getting stuck in traffic.

City bikes and e-scooters
For those who prefer active ways of getting around, the Mevo city bike system is available and is ideal for shorter distances. Electric scooters operated by Dott and Bolt can also be rented throughout the city using a mobile app.
