The transfer from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport to the Granaries on Ołowianka covers about 14 km and usually takes 20-30 minutes. The route normally uses the Tricity ring road (S6), the Słowackiego expressway and Aleja Grunwaldzka towards the Main Town, followed by ul. Wałowa or ul. Stara Stocznia and the Most Zielony crossing to Ołowianka island. The choice of the last streets is aligned with live traffic around Brama Wyżynna and Most Zielony.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, assists with luggage and brings you to the museum entrance on Ołowianka. The entrance is at the Granaries, with access to ticket desks, cloakrooms and the quay where the Sołdek museum ship is moored. For maritime-history enthusiasts we recommend the combined ticket covering the Granaries, Sołdek and the Crane — the three-venue programme can be completed in a single day with the chauffeur waiting between locations.
A transfer to the National Maritime Museum suits maritime-history enthusiasts, educational groups aged 14 and above, guests combining the visit with the Crane and Sołdek, and travellers seeking the Motława waterside atmosphere. After the visit we arrange pickup from the parking area on Ołowianka and transfer to hotels in central Gdańsk, Wrzeszcz or Sopot. The route combines very well with visits to St Mary's Basilica, the Crane, Długi Targ or the European Solidarity Centre within a full-day cultural programme.
Arrival logistics
The museum's main site is at the Granaries on Ołowianka island, reached via Most Zielony. The final routing is chosen between ul. Wałowa and ul. Stara Stocznia depending on live traffic. The combined Granaries + Sołdek + Crane ticket pairs naturally with a chauffeured day-programme waiting between locations.
