Śródmieście

Śródmieście is the central district of Gdańsk and stretches along the Motława River with the Old Town, Main City, and several residential areas. The area includes Granary Island with restored port warehouses and various cultural institutions.

Before 1945 the district contained around 5,500 buildings that suffered extensive damage during World War II. Postwar reconstruction shaped the current appearance and turned it into an important center combining restored and new structures.

The Philharmonic Orchestra and Maritime Museum shape the cultural life of the district, reflecting its role as a historic Baltic trading center. Visitors can experience concerts and exhibitions that show how important the sea trade was to the city's development.

The district is well served by public transport including trams, buses, and trains from the main railway station Gdańsk Główny. Walking is easy with wide paths and clear landmarks that help visitors navigate the area.

Granary Island features reconstructed port warehouses that reveal how the area was once connected to Baltic Sea trade networks. These buildings offer a rare glimpse into the structure of a medieval port and how commerce moved through it.
