In this city it is difficult to get lost, because any hotel or one of the information points in the city (points marked IT, short for Informacja Turystyczna) will provide you with a free map of Gdańsk.
However, if you prefer to be on the safe side, you can get one before your trip to the city. A map of Gdańsk with hotels and accommodations will make planning your walks even easier — you'll always know how far you're going from your hotel and which way to return.
Gdańsk is divided into the Old Town and the Young Town, which in turn are split into smaller districts. The central district of Gdańsk is known as the Main Town (Główne Miasto).
So, which area of Gdańsk to stay in? The safest and most comfortable areas are Osowa, Oliwa and Stogi. Dangerous areas of Gdańsk are Suachinino and Wrzeszcz.
The best places to live in Gdańsk are the central, near the Old Town, and the coastal area (there are hotels located literally twenty meters from the beach).
