Insider tips

Bring binoculars to identify ships on the horizon of the Bay of Gdańsk.

Wear wind-resistant clothing, as the temperature at the top of the tower is significantly lower than at the base.

Check weather reports for visibility, as low clouds often obscure the view of the city from this height.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to climb the tower during high-wind warnings or thunderstorm conditions for safety reasons.

Etiquette

Maintain silence near residential properties at the base of the hill and stay within designated viewing areas on the tower platform.
