Pruszcz Gdański

Pruszcz Gdański is a municipality on the Radunia River where the Vistula Delta meets the Kashubian Lakeland, within the wider Tricity metropolitan zone. The settlement extends on both banks of the river and forms a transport junction between Gdańsk and the northern parts of Pomerania.

Archaeological finds confirm settlement traces from the Bronze and Iron Ages, while the earliest written references to the site date back to 1307. Over the centuries, the settlement developed along trade routes between Gdańsk Bay and the interior.

The Culture and Sport Centre coordinates events and oversees the International Baltic Culture Park with its open-air stage and landscaped green spaces. Regular public performances take place in this area, drawing visitors from across the Tricity and shaping the social life of the community.

The municipality serves as a transport hub with rail connections to Gdańsk and Leba, plus direct access to the Tricity Bypass for regional journeys. Travelers find signage in the town center pointing to the main facilities and connections.

The Faktoria complex features reconstructions of early amber craftsman settlements with educational displays about ancient trade routes during the Roman period. These reconstructions offer insights into the processing and export of Baltic gold, which played a central role in the regional economy for centuries.
