The transfer from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport to the Museum of the Second World War covers about 13 km and usually takes 20-30 minutes. The route normally uses the Tricity ring road (S6), the Słowackiego expressway and ul. Wałowa, followed by ul. Stara Stocznia towards Plac Bartoszewskiego. The final stretch runs alongside the former shipyard grounds and the European Solidarity Centre. The choice of the last streets depends on live traffic conditions around Brama Oliwska and ul. Wałowa.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, assists with luggage and brings you to the museum entrance at Plac Bartoszewskiego. The entry zone sits on a sloped plaza above the underground exhibition, so the last 50-100 metres to ticket desks and cloakrooms are covered on foot across the open square. For educational groups, history delegations and researchers using the museum library, we can synchronise several vehicles arriving on the same flight or on parallel airline routes.
A transfer to the Museum of the Second World War suits history-focused travellers interested in WWII, educational groups aged 14 and above, researchers using the reading room and archive, and delegations attending academic conferences. It is often combined with visits to the European Solidarity Centre, Westerplatte or Bazylika Mariacka within a one-day history programme. After the visit, we arrange pickup from Plac Bartoszewskiego and onward transfer to hotels in central Gdańsk, Wrzeszcz or Sopot.
