Cheap flights from London to Gdansk from £14

Whether you come for Michelin-starred restaurants, a vibrant cultural scene or shopping, there is never enough time to do everything in the cosmopolitan city of London. It's no wonder that its airport system collectively makes up one of the busiest networks in the world, as several million visitors on business and leisure pass through its main airports each year. London Heathrow is the largest airport, handling around 80 airlines to 185 destinations across the globe. Gatwick Airport comes second, handling around 41 million passengers each year. Luton and Stansted operate mainly low-cost airlines, where you can find cheap flights to Gdansk, as well as a range of other European destinations.

Flights to Gdansk may leave from one of London's main airports, which include Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton. All of these airports can be accessed by public transport, with trains an easy option. For Heathrow in the west, you can take the Heathrow Express from Paddington Station or the underground Piccadilly Line from the city centre. If you travel to Gatwick, you can take the Gatwick Express or Thameslink train from London Victoria train station. From Liverpool Street station you can take the direct train to Stansted, while Luton Airport is connected to St Pancras International train station by a train to Luton Airport Parkway and a short shuttle bus ride to the terminal.

Situated on the Baltic coast, Gdansk is a city whose long history and rich heritage is woven into the buildings of the atmospheric "Altstadt" (Gdansk's reconstructed Old Town). Lose yourself in the cobbled streets and visit the Amber Museum to learn about the longstanding importance of this "Baltic Gold" to the economy. Mariacka Street is lined with specialist amber shops if you wish to purchase a keepsake. Nearby you can visit the 18th century town house, Dom Uphagena, and the medieval Artus Court and then refuel on traditional Polish fare. At the Gdansk Shipyard and European Solidarity Centre you can learn about the rise and fall of the Iron Curtain after World War II.
