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.
A transfer to the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre suits enthusiasts of classical theatre, Shakespeare Festival guests (August), Main Town visitors planning an evening cultural programme and participants of theatre conferences hosted by the venue. After the performance we arrange pickup from the same drop-off zone and transfer to hotels in central Gdańsk, Wrzeszcz or Sopot. The route combines very well with visits to St Mary's Basilica, Długi Targ or the Crane (Żuraw) within a full-day cultural programme.
Arrival logistics
