Gdańsk with a dog — dog beaches, parks and pet-friendly apartments
Travelling to Gdańsk with a dog: dog beaches in Brzeźno and Stogi, parks, the rules on public transport, pet-friendly cafés and Mint apartments that welcome animals.
A holiday with your four-legged friend doesn’t have to mean compromises. Gdańsk is surprisingly dog-friendly — it has the sea, a long seafront and plenty of greenery. Here’s where to go with your pet and how to plan the stay.
Dog beaches — where your dog can run into the Baltic
The best part of a seaside trip with a dog:
- Brzeźno and Stogi have designated stretches where you’re allowed in with your four-legged friend.
- On supervised beaches there are restrictions in season — you’ll have the most freedom outside the supervised zone and outside the lifeguards’ working hours.
- In the morning and at dusk the beach is nearly empty — the ideal moment for a run on the sand.
Parks and green spaces
When you want a break from the beach:
- Park Reagana and the whole seafront — kilometres of paths along the sea, perfect for a long walk.
- Park Oliwski — beautiful, but as a heritage park it can be subject to restrictions for dogs; check the rules at the entrance.
- Lasy Oliwskie / TPK — for dogs that enjoy longer expeditions and forest trails.
City transport with a dog
You can get around the city without a car, your pet included: the dog travels on a lead (a larger one additionally in a muzzle), and a little one in a carrier. The rules are set by the operator — usually a dog doesn’t need its own ticket, but it’s worth glancing at the current regulations. More on getting around → Getting around Gdańsk: tram, SKM, bike.
Cafés and pet-friendly places
More and more of Gdańsk’s cafés and food halls welcome dogs with a bowl of water, and the staff don’t mind a four-legged friend under the table. Ask about it on the spot — in seaside venues and modern spaces (like DOKI) it’s often the norm.
An apartment that will welcome your dog
The most important thing: somewhere to stay that’s waiting for your pet too. Some of our apartments are marked as pet-friendly — as a rule, you just declare the dog when booking and pay a refundable deposit. We’ll match you with a flat close to places for walks, so the morning outing is a matter of a few minutes.
