Events, museums, and transport: what does the Gdańsk resident card offer?

The Gdańsk Resident Card opens up a wide range of opportunities. With it, you can participate in events for free, visit museums without paying for tickets, and receive discounts on purchases, services, and entertainment.

One ticket — all of Gdańsk for about 3.90 PLN per day

Residents of Gdańsk can use a wide network of public transport with a single monthly ticket. For 117 PLN, with the Gdańsk Resident Card, unlimited travel is available on buses, trams, and certain railway lines within the city. This solution simplifies daily commutes and allows for easy combinations of different modes of transport.

Holders of a personalized ZTM travel card registered on the Gdańsk Resident Card with the FALA system or in the «Jestem z Gdańska» app with an active resident package can also use SKM, PKM, and POLREGIO trains within the administrative borders of the city at no additional charge.

With a cost of 117 PLN, the monthly ticket averages about 3.90 PLN per day for an unlimited number of trips on all included modes of transport.

Museums and events 

In 2025, residents of Gdańsk received a unique opportunity — up to 32 free visits to the most popular city attractions. The package includes museums, historical monuments, sports facilities, and cultural institutions. This wide selection ensures that everyone will find something for themselves: some will choose to stroll through exhibitions, others will seek excitement in stadiums, while some will prefer relaxation in a pool or on an ice rink.

The list includes not only well-known sites such as the Museum of the Second World War or the European Solidarity Centre, but also less obvious hidden gems of the city. For example, the Romanesque Cellar Gallery (Piwnica Romańska) or the «Blue Ram» granary (Spichlerz Błękitny Baranek), where the history of Gdańsk is presented in an unusual format. 

A new addition to the Gdańsk Resident Card map is the Pre-Gate Complex — another branch of the Gdańsk Museum.
