The port of Gdansk, situated on the eastern curve of the huge 60 mile Gdansk bay, is not only the chief port in Poland but also one of the largest ports on the European shores of the Baltic sea. It's a city with a seafaring past stretching as far back as the 1st century, during which time it has forged a reputation as a key player in overseas trade. Nestled between the 15 quays and wharfs dedicated to handling goods as diverse as crude oil and sugar lies the Westerplatte ferry terminal, a small building through which all ferry passengers pass on their way in and out of the port. Though relatively small in size, the terminal is surrounded by plenty of trees and grassland that belie the harbour’s largely industrial make up. The terminal car-park is large enough to hold up to 375 vehicles and is fed by a striking suspension bridge that connects Gdansk to the port across the Martwa Wisla river. Those travelling to the port will find the city is supported by a vast transport network. An hourly train service connects Gdansk to the capital of Warsaw, while the E75 motorway, an impressive 320-mile route that cuts through the centre of the country, services motorists from as far south as Katowice near the Czech Republic border. A direct Polferries service leaves the port a number of times per week, taking passengers on the day-long northern route across the Baltic sea to the Swedish locality of Nynäshamn.
Situated on the southeast coast of Sweden, Karlshamn Port borders the Baltic Sea and is the main port in the region. Surrounded by forest and looking out over the Blekinge archipelago, the port is aesthetically one of the most unique and alluring in the world, attracting a growing amount of visitors each year. A naturally beautiful town, Karlshamn aims to remain green both physically and environmentally, with the area keen to maintain the admirably clean environment. Sport also plays a large part in the lifestyle of the residents; football, hockey and sailing clubs all encourage new members to participate on a regular basis. The harbour area is commonly used to transport tonnes of cargo, making it the sixth busiest port in Sweden in regards to commercial use. The ferry routes for the port span a vast area, covering Klaipeda in Lithaunia, St. Petersburg in Russia and its most frequent crossing to Kiel in Germany. The port is only accessible via road transport, therefore only cars and taxis are the two viable options. There is a taxi rank waiting outside of the train station, which is located fairly close to the port, therefore a fare for the ride shouldn’t cost too much. The port opens relatively late, not allowing passengers to check in until 3pm, and sailings generally aren’t scheduled until the evening.
