VIKTIG INFORMATION
Access to toilets at Westerplatte is very limited due to ongoing issues with the sanitary infrastructure. We therefore recommend using the restroom before the start of the tour to avoid any inconvenience during the visit.
Due to the historic and partially neglected nature of the site, accessibility for persons with disabilities is limited, although generally possible – with the exception of access to the mound with the monument. Visiting with a stroller is also possible, although it may be necessary to carry the stroller over a few short flights of stairs near the monument.
Due to the fact that the tour takes place outdoors, we recommend dressing appropriately for the weather conditions, wearing comfortable shoes, and bringing drinking water.
Please meet your guide in front of the railway gate.
