Temporary traffic changes will be introduced in Gdańsk city centre as part of the preparations for this year’s Christmas Market. Some streets will be closed to traffic or parking. In response to residents’ requests, the changes will be introduced in stages, and on ul. Bogusławskiego they will last two weeks less in total.

Important news for residents is the shorter assembly schedule. In response to residents’ requests, the organiser has optimised the assembly work, so some restrictions will apply for less time than originally planned.
