Gdańsk in July
Great time to visit
July is when Gdańsk becomes a tourist magnet. The weather is perfect and the atmosphere electric, but you'll share it with everyone else - and pay accordingly.
Weather
July serves up the warmest weather of the year, though the Baltic keeps things from getting oppressive. Expect plenty of sunshine with afternoon temperatures perfect for sightseeing. Evening storms can roll in from the sea but clear quickly.

All Months
May through September gives you the best weather, but July and August bring crowds that can make Old Town feel like a theme park. June hits the sweet spot — warm enough for outdoor dining, long daylight hours, and manageable tourist numbers.
May surprises people. The weather's mild, flowers bloom in the parks, and hotel prices haven't peaked yet. But pack layers — Baltic weather changes fast.
September extends summer without the chaos. The Baltic stays warm enough for swimming, the light turns golden for photos, and locals reclaim their city. Restaurant terraces stay open, and you'll actually get a table.
Winter means short days and bitter winds off the sea, but Christmas markets transform the squares. The amber shops offer better deals when tourists disappear. Just bundle up — the wind cuts through everything.
