Gdansk's compact Główne Miasto (Main Town) is walkable end-to-end in 25 minutes. For day trips, the ZTM trams, SKM commuter rail (Tri-City line) and PKP Intercity trains all accept leashed dogs.
ZTM Gdansk operates 11 tram lines and 80+ bus routes. Leashed dogs travel free with a muzzle on all trams and buses, no ticket needed for the dog.
💡 Polish public transport requires a muzzle for ALL dogs on board (including small dogs) — unlike Germany or Netherlands. Carry a soft muzzle in your bag.
SKM operates the Tri-City commuter rail from Gdansk through Sopot to Gdynia (40 min end-to-end, every 7 min at peak). Leashed dogs with muzzle travel free; no ticket needed for the dog. The fastest way to reach Sopot dog beach.
💡 Gdansk Główny to Sopot SKM in 15 min — the year-round dog beach at Sopot is 10 min walk from Sopot station.
PKP Intercity operates direct EIC trains from Gdansk to Warsaw (2h45), Krakow (5h30) and Berlin (5h, with one connection at Poznań). Leashed dogs need a half-fare ticket and a muzzle on board; small dogs in carriers free.
💡 The Gdansk-Warsaw EIC at 2h45 makes Gdansk a perfect dog-friendly weekend from the Polish capital — book a window seat in advance for summer travel.
