Cycling day trip from Gdansk to Elblag

Ready for a scenic spin across northern Poland? This ride starts in the historic port city of Gdańsk, a vibrant hub on the Baltic Sea known for its colorful Old Town and maritime spirit. You’ll trace mostly quiet, paved roads and peaceful cycleways as you make your way south-east toward Elbląg. The route covers just over 77 km, but with only gentle elevation changes, so you can expect a fairly relaxed day in the saddle—ideal for soaking up views of the countryside and pretty villages along the way.

About two-thirds of the journey is on paved surfaces, though be ready for some stretches of paving stones and the occasional unpaved path. After passing through flat farmland and forest patches, you’ll arrive in Elbląg, a gem at the edge of the Vistula Lagoon, known for its charming canals and medieval heritage. This is a route for those who love a mix of history, nature, and easy pedaling!
