Photo Gallery » Gdansk by night

I like to visit Gdańsk in the evening when the city is sparkling with a million lights. Since I use a drone for photography, I always try to choose windless weather for night photos. When there is no wind, the drone can stop in place even for a few seconds. Such conditions allow for taking pictures at the lowest possible ISO, and as a result, high-quality sharp photos without noise. The quality of the photos is so good that you can easily make large prints and photo wallpapers. I invite you to watch the night photos from Gdańsk and order prints.
You can see more photos from Gdansk in the galleries: Summer in Gdańsk, Autumn in Gdańsk, Winter in Gdańsk, Gdańsk from the sky.

Old Town in Gdansk

The Old Town in Gdańsk is the part of Śródmieście located north of the Main Town and is the oldest area of the city. You may be surprised by the fact that this is not the historic district (Main Town) known to everyone, where you can see: St. Mary's Basilica, Crane, Artus Court, Golden Gate, Neptune Fountain and the most famous streets: Długa, Mariacka, Piwna.
The Old Town was largely destroyed during World War II, but still many monuments can be admired here: the Old Town Hall from 1589, the medieval Great Mill, the Gothic Small Mill, the Gdańsk Główny Railway Station, the Church of St. Catherine, Basilica of St. Bridget.

What to see in Gdansk at night?

Gdańsk at night is a magical place full of attractions. It's worth starting your evening with a stroll through the charming Old Town and along the Motława River promenade, admiring the illuminated landmarks. On Granary Island, you'll find cozy restaurants and cafés, perfect for a romantic dinner. You can also visit the Baltic Philharmonic or take a ride on the Ferris wheel to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the city's nighttime panorama. Nightlife enthusiasts can head to clubs, bars, and discos, where the fun lasts until dawn.

The world seen from above

The world seen from above often surprises me with its graphic appearance. Photos taken with the camera positioned vertically down (the so-called top-down) are often interesting because the views from this perspective are unknown to us. I like to look like this while flying a drone - you can see what the birds see :-)

Galeria Baltycka, Gdansk

Galeria Bałtycka (Baltic Gallery) in Gdańsk Wrzeszcz on a Saturday afternoon in March. This is one of the largest shopping and entertainment centers in Gdańsk ... I wonder where the name of this gallery comes from since it is a shopping center ...

Cosmic Gdańsk

The top view of the car park located on the roof of the building looks like a frame from a science fiction movie. Only flying cars are missing and it would be Blade Runner 2023 :-)

Gdansk Wrzeszcz train station

The railway station in Wrzeszcz is an important transport hub, serving mainly rail and bus connections. There are four platforms at the station: two for SKM (Quick City Rail) trains and two for long-distance trains. The following trains stop at the station: SKM, passenger, Regio, TLK, IC, EIC (Express Intercity) and Pendolino - (EIP Express Intercity Premium).

Gdansk - photos from the drone

I really like photographing Gdańsk from a drone. When I fly above the roofs of tenement houses, the city shows me a completely different face. In the evening, when the street lamps and lights in the windows turn on, the view is even more interesting than during the day.

Dluga street

Dluga Street (Long street) leads from the Golden Gate to the Neptune Fountain. This is probably the most frequently visited part of Gdańsk by tourists.

The evening is coming in Gdańsk. This is the best time for night shots when the street lamps come on but it's not completely dark yet.
