The first wave of summer heat has arrived in Gdańsk. To help cope with the heat, the city authorities have launched a cooling system and ensured free access to drinking water. We tell you where you can refresh yourself on hot days.
Where the cooling misting systems are operating
Special misting installations automatically turn on when the air temperature exceeds 26°C. They spray fine droplets of water, creating a refreshing mist and lowering the surrounding air temperature. In the evening, the structures are illuminated by LED lights powered by solar panels.
Currently, such installations are operating:
- at Gdańskie Zoo;
- in the Hevelianum area;
- near Galeria Przymorze;
- in the Garrison area;
- next to Forum Gdańsk.
- at the entrance to the pier in Brzeźno;
- near the Museum of the Second World War and the European Solidarity Centre;
- at Skwer Kobzdeja, Targ Węglowy, Targ Rybny, and near Zielona Brama;
- near the Madison shopping center.
64 drinking fountains throughout the city
During the heat, it is especially important to drink water regularly. Gdańsk has 64 publicly accessible drinking fountains that can be used for free. The water in the city network undergoes constant quality control and meets all sanitary standards.
You can find the nearest source of drinking water on our map.
Additionally, from July 4th, a popular water dispenser will resume operation on weekends in Oruń Park. It is located next to the playground. Visitors will have access to still and sparkling water, as well as drinks with fruit syrups.
