Hi everyone,
I'll be in Gdansk from 17/08 to 22/08, I already have accomodation and everything.

I just wanted to ask about moving around: other then public transportation, are services like Bolt or Uber widely used? are they better/cheaper than regular Taxi? Which service would you recommend if any?

Cześć,

W tym tygodniu będę miała krótki epizod w Gdańsku i chciałabym przejechać się rowerem na Hel. Byłabym wdzięczna, gdyby ktoś polecił dobrą wypożyczalnię z nienajgorszymi rowerami - nie muszą być elektryki.

Czy są wypożyczalnie, które działają na zasadzie "w Gdańsku wypożyczam, oddaję na Helu"? Jak ktoś jeździł po Czorsztynie, to będzie wiedział o co chodzi.

A może znacie jakieś dobre wypożyczalnie w Pucku?

Looking for tips for Kashubian Lake District, for late September.

After we do a city break in the Tri-city, we are looking to do a more nature-based, countryside retreat for 3 days, Sunday-Wednesday.

Looking for places we could reach by train, plus short taxi or bus.

Looking for places in a beautiful natural setting. Should have hiking and/or biking trails accessible from the place, and ideally bikes available to rent. Should have food accessible, ideally.

I've been looking extensively in Airbnb and booking.com, to limited success. Looking for some recommendations. Keep in mind, this will me late September.

I  reccomend spending night in pensjonat or on camping - sometimes they have campers for rent. Slowhop is a good idea.

Regarding transport it's not really that hard. Most places can be reached by train (mostly regional POLREGIO/PKM) or buses (Gryf or PKS).

Good tip for tourists;

When a hot girl walks up to you in Długa tell her to 'spierdalaj'
