Nowy Port Lighthouse

We stopped here briefly on a bus tour of Gdansk and only saw the exterior. From the outside, this 1893 lighthouse is not particularly impressive. But lighthouse geeks would enjoy seeing this because the mechanisms were innovative in their day.

A lot of WW2 history is here in this lighthouse. And you can get a great view from the top. And some cool artwork outside! And you can watch the ships coming in and going out. And... that's a lot of ANDs for one place. There is the tram stop "Latarnia Morska" In Brzeźno to get there.

Nice to climb up, read the history - it is from here the first shot from machine gun started WWII. Nice views from the top

Beautiful, one of the most historical place in the world. The lighthouse where the firsts shots of the the second World War were fired. Well mantained. The time bowl still works: goes up then down every day at 12, 14, 16 and 18. If you're lucky enough to meet the "captain" jacek who usually sits in front of the lighthouse, let him tell you the history of the lighthouse, the history of his life, and other interesting things like the purpose of the time bowl and how it works. It's really worth it! A super sweet and beatiful person.

Wonderful place to visit, which gives you the overview of the port with different types of ships, the sea and Westerplatte.

An amazing view and the start of world war 2, most interesting

Beatiful and renowate place by Mr Michalak. Nice surrounding and great view for harbpur, Westerplatte, Gdańsk Bay! Payment only cash 6,10 zl tickets.

We visited as part of a circular cycling route. Glad we came across it but would have been disappointed if had made a special trip. Its not expensive (by UK standards) but time you've paid the entrance for a family of 5 its not good value. All you do is climb the stairs, take in a couple of [not overly attractive] views and come back down! A few info boards (in English) but not much else. Its an attractive building but they could improve by restoring the time ball. Good to have visited THE place WW2 [supposedly] started!
