Port Północny Lighthouse

Port Północny Lighthouse

Located on the Baltic coast of Gdańsk, this lighthouse serves as a navigational aid facing the Gulf of Gdańsk. It is the most recently constructed lighthouse in Poland. Travelers visit this site to observe the maritime infrastructure of the northern port and view the surrounding coastline.

Getting There

The lighthouse is situated away from the city center in the industrial port area. The most efficient way to reach it is by car or taxi, which typically takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Public transport options are limited in this specific zone, so travelers should plan their transport in advance.

Visit Duration

A visit to the lighthouse and its immediate surroundings generally requires 1 to 2 hours. This allows enough time to view the structure and the surrounding port landscape.

When to Visit

The site is best visited during daylight hours for visibility of the coast. Summer offers the most stable weather for outdoor exploration, while winter can be windy and cold due to the exposed coastal location. It does not typically experience the same level of crowding as the central city landmarks.

Nearby Attractions

Because of its location, the lighthouse can be combined with other historical and maritime sites in the area:

  • Wisłoujście Fortress (1.2km)
  • Westerplatte Monument (2km)
  • Martwa Wisła (2.6km)
  • Port Island (2.7km)
