The Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre at ul. Wojciecha Bogusławskiego 1 is the only theatre in Europe rebuilt to the model of London's Globe Theatre, inaugurated in 2014. The distinctive brick façade conceals a wooden Elizabethan stage and a modern multifunctional auditorium with a retractable roof.

Every August the venue hosts the Shakespeare Festival, one of the leading theatre events in Central Europe; outside the festival the theatre presents theatrical productions, chamber concerts and educational programmes. The address is a natural destination for theatre enthusiasts, Shakespeare Festival guests and Main Town visitors planning an evening cultural programme.

The transfer from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport to the Shakespeare Theatre 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, with the final approach to a drop-off zone around Targ Węglowy or Hucisko.

Main Town Zone A requires permits, so the walk to the theatre itself runs along ul. Tkacka and ul. Tartaczna.

After landing, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, assists with luggage and brings you to the agreed Main Town drop-off zone. The standard stopping point is Targ Węglowy, from where it is a 3-5 minute walk to the theatre.

For Shakespeare Festival guests (August) we recommend booking the transfer well in advance, since festival weeks are the busiest period for hotels and city traffic in Gdańsk. After the performance we can synchronise the return transfer with a dinner at a chosen premium restaurant.
