Currently, 2026 is not very good. I also advise against walking from the city center to the monument. It's a two-hour drive, with no views, and it's an industrial district. The monument itself is IMPRESSIVE!

Public transport is infrequent. The access road is being renovated, and the monument can be reached by walking along the fence.

A monument steeped in history, it's worth a visit, but I wouldn't recommend it in the rain! Roadworks were underway at the beginning of October, so we had to walk across the grass from the parking lot.

A visit to the monument to the defenders of Westernplatte is certainly worthwhile, but currently only possible via a footpath due to construction work. Those arriving by ship from Gdansk should allow at least 1.5 hours for the Heduch.

A place steeped in history, the beginning of World War II. As Germans, we especially should critically examine our past. And this place is part of that! We combined our visit with a boat tour, so it's best to plan for a longer stay on Westerplatte. It's a bit of a walk to the monument.

We took a boat ride out to westerplatte with one of the tourists boats. The fee was 100 zloty to go back and forth. Which is less than 25 euros. The cruise gave us a little bit information about the harbor of Gdansk and the battle of Westerplatte.

At Westerplatte you can walk the peninsula on your own. There are a lot of information about the fight between German and polish troops at the beginning of world war 2. There is also a huge monument that you can go up to. The peninsula itself is quite nice to take a walk on.

I would definitely recommend coming here when visiting Gdansk and take some time to learn about this important part of history.

A wonderful place to remember. Modern museum. Great new building. The restrooms are very clean. However, the path along the water is closed for at least a year due to construction/renovation. This means you can only walk to the monument and back through the park. See the last photo. Highly recommended in good weather.

The monument itself is worth seeing, but the surrounding area is neglected. The exhibition on the way from the cruise's terminus is very dated. The faded posters could be refreshed for a small financial outlay. Restrooms should also be at least 20th-century-worthy. This is a testament to the authorities.

Westerplatte – a place that tugs at your heartstrings and remains forever etched in your memory 🇬🇧 Visiting Westerplatte was an incredibly moving experience for me. It's one of those places that makes you pause for a moment, pause, and begin to think about history in a completely different way. Standing on this ground, it's hard not to feel moved and deeply respectful of the people who gave their lives here in defense of their homeland. It truly tugs at your heartstrings when you realize the tremendous courage, sacrifice, and love for Poland demonstrated by Polish soldiers in September 1939. Westerplatte is not just a historical site on the map of Gdańsk. It's a symbol of heroism, steadfastness, and the fight for freedom, which for many people came at the ultimate price. Walking around the grounds, seeing the remains of the old fortifications and the monument commemorating the defenders, you can almost feel the weight of the events that unfolded here at the beginning of World War II. This experience forces you to reflect on the fragility of human life and the immense value of peace and freedom. What is most moving is the awareness that behind every historic date lie real people, their families, dreams, and hopes, brutally shattered by war. Therefore, the memory of the fallen defenders of Westerplatte should be eternal. We cannot allow their sacrifice to be forgotten. I believe that every Pole should visit this place at least once, pay tribute to the heroes, and see a fragment of our homeland's history with their own eyes. This is not just a tourist attraction, but a place of remembrance that teaches humility, patriotism, and respect for previous generations. Honor and glory to the heroes of Westerplatte! May the memory of those who fought and died for Poland live on for generations to come. 🇵🇱❤️

This place is special because it was here that World War II began. When you visit the preserved buildings of the Port Transit Station, you feel the atmosphere of those days and moments. I recommend everyone to visit this place. It is a symbol of our historic struggle to defend our borders and our freedom in the 20th century.

Interesting, but not right now. Apparently, it is not necessary to take visitors into account when extensive roadwork is being done. I find it peculiar that the gigantic building at the entrance contains only a reception area and otherwise just a souvenir shop, a restaurant, and a café; the latter also has a viewing balcony from where you can get a beautiful view of the beach... but not the Westerplatte 😂

Here the Second World War began, 1939 IX 01. Major Henryk Slucharski led the heroic defense for 7 days against the attacking German troops and the navy. In memory of the battle, a 25-meter-high monument stands here. Car travelers should take road 89 (Mjr Henryka Slucharskiego) drive past the port to the end of the road, where you can park. My picture has been incorrectly placed to the Gdansk Bay, so I am repositioning it.

The monument itself and its immediate surroundings are well-maintained. But the road from the marina is not. I always thought that such an important and historic site for Poles would be better cared for. It's clear that some work is being done, but such work should have been done long ago; now it's just a matter of finishing touches.

This monument is a symbol of the Polish People's Republic and honors the Red Army. It doesn't honor any of the defenders of Westerplatte. The defenders themselves cried at the monument's unveiling, but for good reasons. People don't know history and blindly pay homage to the Soviet army.

In my opinion, the Westerplatte monument is an important place of remembrance. It commemorates the heroic defense of Westerplatte during World War II. Its size and simple form make a powerful impression. It demonstrates the importance of the courage and sacrifice of Polish soldiers. I believe it's worth visiting to better understand Polish history. The monument encourages reflection on the war and its consequences.

I've been there several times and even remember a tank standing there in the 1990s. Today, it looks pretty bad; it's all dug up, with few places to visit. The ruins of the New Barracks are fenced off, and visitors are not allowed, which I deeply regret. A major highlight is the "Westerplatte Battlefield" building with its observation deck.

Description: Westerplatte is a peninsula located in Gdańsk, Poland, historically famous for being the site where the first shots of World War II were fired, on September 1, 1939. The iconic Polish garrison operating there heroically resisted for seven days against a massive attack by German forces, becoming one of the greatest national symbols of courage and resistance. Historically, the landmark's importance is enormous worldwide. But it's simply not worth going. The car leaves you 1.5 km from the site, and it's a 3 km round-trip walk with very little to see. There's only the monument to the Polish military, a section of a cemetery, and small concrete ruins. It's better to take a boat tour and see it from the boat, with all the scenery along the river. Unless you have a lot of time in Gdańsk and are interested in a less scenic walk. The site is far from the center and it costs time and money to get there.

An incredible place. It's not just the monument itself that leaves a lasting impression, but the entire atmosphere of Westerplatte. Being here completely changes your perspective on the history of this place. If you're ever in Gdansk, this is a must-see. Even if you're not a big fan of historical sites, it's definitely worth coming here and just seeing everything with your own eyes. It's truly grand, atmospheric, and truly memorable. I'm definitely glad I visited. 🇵🇱

A must-see for anyone interested in history. Unfortunately, the entire area, aside from the monument itself, is quite neglected. The sidewalk to Westerplatte, made of old concrete tiles, is probably decades old. The lawns are unkempt and trampled, the hideous concrete buildings in front of the entrance are abandoned. The benches have several layers of oil on them... It's a shame that the city or state doesn't take care of such a place.

A must-see during your stay in Gdańsk. We were there as a family and were very happy to have seen this unique, historic place. Everything is well-organized, clean, and tidy. There are plenty of information boards, allowing you to learn many interesting facts about the history of Westerplatte. It's definitely worth visiting and spending some time wandering around and learning about the history of this place. A must-see in Gdańsk! 🇵🇱

The area is currently under construction, but I definitely recommend visiting it. Starting the tour at the railway gate, you'll encounter the first areas currently under construction. This is the railway station, where the first Polish person in the German attack died. The station will be rebuilt, followed by other buildings that were there before the outbreak of World War II. The entire area will be completed in the summer of 2027. After this area is completed, the construction will be moved to the vicinity of the monument, where an underground museum will be built. This investment will take a little longer, scheduled for 2030. So, you can visit and then definitely come back when everything is finished to compare how everything has changed :)

Very educational open-air exhibition with ruins left behind, picture story with explanatory texts that lead the mind back to a very difficult time and to the moment when World War II began in Europe on September 1, 1939, on the Westerplatta peninsula in Gdansk, Poland. The excursion is also good for your health with the more than 4 km of walking around everything until the monument at the end on a lower elevation, then back to the bus stop, where the museum building with its exhibition stands to look at if you want.

A must-see when visiting beautiful Gdańsk. The monument is incredibly impressive, it's enormous. We parked at the Westerplatte Museum. From there, it's a 15-minute walk to our destination. Along the way, there are ruins of buildings and information boards telling the story of the defenders of Westerplatte. There's no point in going there without reading the boards... they make you want to know more than just take a photo at the monument. I highly recommend it; my 8-year-old was very interested in the history of this place.

If you don't go there purely out of respect and expecting some feelings, then it's a disappointment. There's only this and nothing more. It's completely outside the center, so it's a long way to walk. Otherwise, it's 16 minutes by bus from the center. The slightly positive thing is that some reclamation is taking place there 😉

Monument to the Defenders of the Coast – Westerplatte. For me, visiting Westerplatte and the Monument to the Defenders of the Coast was, above all, a unique encounter with Polish history. This place holds a huge emotional and historical significance – the defense of the Polish coast began here in September 1939, making it difficult to pass by indifferently. The monument itself is impressive. Its monumental form and location at Westerplatte immediately change the perception of the events that took place here. It's especially powerful to know that I'm standing where Polish soldiers resisted overwhelming German forces for several days. I also appreciate the monument's surroundings. A walk around Westerplatte allows you to see the remains of former fortifications, ruins, and sites connected with the defense of the peninsula. This makes it not just a tourist attraction, but above all a place of remembrance and an important history lesson. In my opinion, Westerplatte is worth visiting, both individually and with family or young people. It's a place that inspires reflection on history, the sacrifices of soldiers, and the price Poland paid during World War II. My rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recommend it to anyone interested in Polish history. Westerplatte is definitely worth seeing at least once in your life – not only for the monument itself, but above all for the significance of this place.

This important and moving site commemorates the defenders of Westerplatte. Monuments and plaques commemorate the soldiers who defended this site for seven days in September 1939. It's worth walking the entire route and seeing the remains of the former fortifications and Guardhouse No. 1. The place is thought-provoking and definitely worth a visit.

A place full of history. A history we must never forget. Currently, renovations are underway on the path leading to the monument. It's worth parking your car in advance in the paid parking lot near the museum.

A very moving place and important to our history. The best way to get there is by boat, which departs from the Motława River quay in Gdańsk near the Green Gate. It departs every hour on the hour and returns on the hour. Tickets can be purchased on-site at the ticket office. It's a rather long walk to Westerplatte, about 20 minutes, to get to the monument. But it's worth it, a beautiful monument surrounded by forest, situated on a hill. Along the way, you'll find ruins of former guardhouses and an exhibition about the history of World War II fighting. I highly recommend this tour.

The politicians haven't understood the problem, and the people don't understand the politicians. It's not about petty squabbles and party politics—it's about peace. You don't spend all your time picking on your neighbors for that.

Westerplatte in Gdańsk – A moving symbol of courage that will give you goosebumps and take your breath away! You simply must visit this place at least once in your life – no history books can capture the incredible, solemn, and proud energy you feel when standing at the foot of the monumental Monument to the Defenders of the Coast! ⚓🇵🇱 A walk among the authentic, bombed-out barracks and Guardhouse No. 1 literally transports you back in time to the dramatic days of September 1939 and makes you feel firsthand an immense sense of gratitude and patriotic emotion. The contrast of the harsh, war-scarred terrain with the beautiful, peaceful view of the roaring sea and the mouth of the Dead Vistula is electrifying. The entire memorial area is vast, and exploring the well-prepared educational trail with modern plaques takes about 2-3 hours, filled with fascinating and moving stories. There are plenty of walking paths, so comfortable sneakers are a must! It's worth remembering that the area is completely open and windy, so even on sunny days, a warm sweatshirt or windbreaker is worth its weight in gold. A huge plus is the free admission, clean restrooms at the entrance, and the fantastic Tourist Information Center. An absolute national landmark, a living history lesson, and a must-see for everyone! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A beautiful place, worth seeing. The route to the monument is by no means boring or monotonous, but filled with memorabilia from those years. There's a cemetery, exhibitions, display cases, and remnants of guardhouses. Parking near the WWII center is 5 PLN/hour. We spent five wonderful hours at Westerplatte, including visiting the beaches.

A few years ago, I was at Westerplatte. I stood on the ground walked on by those who fought and died for Poland in September 1939. Back then, you could feel the enormity of this place—its history, its tragedy, and the price paid by the defenders. Today, it breaks my heart to see Westerplatte changing. The memorial site increasingly resembles a tidy area for strolling, rather than a space that should, above all, tell a story and provoke reflection. That's why the question hurts me so much: "Why did they fight for this piece of land?" One can be angry at the lack of knowledge. But one can also ask: aren't we depriving people of the opportunity to understand this history? If the site is so transformed that it's no longer possible to feel its authenticity, see the scale of the fighting, or imagine the tragedy of the defenders, what will we teach future generations? Westerplatte is no ordinary plot of land. It's a symbol of Polish resistance and the sacrifice of those who fought, knowing they might die. Archaeological research, conservation, and appropriate development are essential. But they cannot obscure the most important thing – the memory of those who fought and died here. Westerplatte does not belong to any government. It is part of Polish history. Let us not allow the place for which people gave their lives to be reduced to just another attractive "promenade." Because land can be developed. History and memory cannot be sold.

To get there, take a boat from Gdantz that will cross the entire port of Freet. Upon arrival, it's impossible to see the monument due to construction, so head to the beach... Baltic Sea: Extraordinary! Fabulous!

A monument dedicated to the Second World War, which began on this very spot on September 1, 1939. It's near the port of Gdansk, and a 10-15 minute walk from the parking lot leads to the monument. There are a few benches where you can rest. Unfortunately, the road up was blocked by construction work. There's a paid museum in the parking lot, but the second-floor terraces offer beautiful views of the Baltic Sea.

Unfortunately, this isn't a Westerplatte monument. A Soviet soldier with a PPS on the monument and the slogan "Glory to the liberators" are more than a disgrace to the defenders of this corner of Poland in 2026. There's no educational or historical trail showing what Westerplatte looked like in 1939 and what they shat on it, instead a huge, expensive building where you can buy a ticket and a cake. Overall, a terrible impression and almost no real message. Only a small museum in a single guardhouse. Shameful and embarrassing!

If I remember this place 40 years ago, you could visit and learn something. Today, it's just a place everyone knows. Total chaos and a neglected place. It's surprising that wheelchair users still can't get there. The same goes for the gang of people sitting on the monument, making it a youthful sunbathing spot. We really can't afford someone to keep order there and keep an eye on this place.
