Forum Gdańsk

Gdańsk


This huge, decidedly upmarket shopping centre was bolted together on wasteland north of the Brama Wyżynna (Upland Gate) in 2018 and is linked to Gdańsk Śródmiejśće SKM station. All the familiar names of the international retail world display their wares and there's a useful supermarket on the lowest level. The open courtyard outside provides a wonderful panorama of the old centre's skyline.
