Gdansk Airport to Sopot: Best Transport Options Compared (2026)
Published on April 10, 2026 · Taxi Airport Gdańsk
Sopot is one of the most popular destinations for tourists arriving at Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (GDN). Located just 22 kilometers north of the airport, this elegant seaside resort is famous for the Monte Cassino pedestrian street, the longest wooden pier in Europe (511 meters), and a vibrant nightlife scene. Getting from Gdańsk Airport to Sopot is straightforward, but the best option depends on your budget, schedule, and how much luggage you are carrying.
How far is Gdańsk Airport from Sopot?
Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport is approximately 22 km from central Sopot. By car or taxi, the journey takes 25–30 minutes via the S6 expressway, depending on traffic. During peak summer season (June–August), traffic on the coastal road can add 10–15 minutes to the journey. The fastest route avoids the city center entirely, taking the bypass directly to Sopot.
Option 1: Pre-booked taxi (recommended)
A pre-booked airport taxi is the fastest and most convenient way to reach Sopot from Gdańsk Airport. Our fixed-price transfer costs 120 PLN during the day and 150 PLN at night (22:00–06:00 and Sundays/holidays). The price covers up to 4 passengers with luggage in a comfortable Toyota RAV4 or similar vehicle.
Your driver meets you at the arrivals hall with a name sign immediately after you clear customs. There is no need to search for a taxi rank, negotiate prices, or wait in a queue. We track your flight in real time, so even if it arrives late, the driver adjusts the pickup time automatically at no extra charge.

Option 2: SKM commuter train
The SKM (Szybka Kolej Miejska) commuter train connects the airport station "Port Lotniczy" with Sopot. The journey takes approximately 35–40 minutes with several stops along the way. A single ticket costs around 6–8 PLN, making it the cheapest option.
Pros and cons of the SKM train
- Pro: Very affordable (6–8 PLN)
- Pro: Runs frequently during the day (every 15–30 minutes)
- Con: The airport train station is a 10-minute walk from the terminal
- Con: Limited service after 23:00 — last trains around midnight
- Con: No luggage storage — you carry everything on board

Option 3: Bus 210
Bus line 210 connects Gdańsk Airport with Gdańsk Główny (main railway station), where you can transfer to a northbound SKM train to Sopot. The total journey takes 50–70 minutes including the transfer. A bus ticket costs about 4.80 PLN, plus a separate train ticket.
This option is the cheapest but also the slowest and least convenient, especially with luggage or after a long flight. We do not recommend it for first-time visitors or anyone arriving after 21:00.
