This was a very somber experience but so glad we did the tour as it was informative and impacting! From the road, you feel as though you are going for a walk in a beautiful forest, just the facade the Nazis wanted for both the prisoners as well as the neighbouring communities. We went on our own taking bus 870, platform 2, from the main station in Gdansk. The bus station is behind the train station. It is 20 zloty per person, each way and only cash is accepted as you pay the bus driver directly. We used our phone to assist with communicating. At the museum, we found it a bit confusing as to directional flow and some of the information was not in English. They had both a factory there where prisoners made parts for German fighter planes as well as greenhouses where the food harvested feed the military as well as was sold in Gdansk at market! We had interactions with 2 staff members and they were both very pleasant and helpful. The 70 minute bus ride back affords you time to process and regroup your emotions.

Winter opening hours 8am-3pm. You can travel there easily by public bus no.870 from Gdańsk bus station. However please note winter bus schedule as not so frequent. You can buy a single ticket with cash or card at bus station or pay the driver with cash only. It cost 20.50 zloty per person each way and takes nearly 1.5hrs. Apparently you need to book a tour before arrival but unsure how to do this so we just walked around ourselves which may have been better as we could spend time reading everything. Wrap up warm!

Definitely worth a visit if you have an interest in Gdansk and Poland's wartime history. It's a personal choice to use a private guided tour with transportation to visit Stutthof Concentration Camp or do it by yourself which l chose to do. Which gave me the chance to explore the site at pace what suited my needs, also found most information boards were in English and placed across the camp site. Its emotional at times when you have a better understanding of what took place and how people were treated and how they lost their lives at this site. The Monument to Fight and Freedom contains ashes and bone fragments recovered from the soil in the excavations years after liberation. It also became the first Nazi concentration camp which was built outside of Germany, and it was the last concentration camp to be liberated in Poland. Caught the 870 bus from the Gdansk main bus station which is behind Gdansk Glowny train station. Head to platform 2 please note they only accept cash as payment for the ticket. The bus does stop near large stone Stutthof memorial entrance sign near to the concentration camp which on the other side of the road. There is no entry fee but you do have the chance to make a donation if you choose to. To catch the return bus back to Gdansk head back to the stone Stutthof memorial sign and turn left and it's a short walk to the bus stop. It does not hurt to wave to get the bus driver attention to make sure he stops.

To get here catch the 870 bus from Gdansk bus station (down the stairs out the front of the railway station, under the road and through the quite ominous looking tunnels of the bus station - but quite safe in the day) - travel costs 20zl each way and drops you off outside Half the exhibition in polish and English, but didn’t tell the story of the victims as well as other camps. Some exhibitions did this whereas others seemed to miss opportunities to speak about individuals. Nor was there any explanation behind the memorials at this end which was unusual. Translation to English inaccurate in places but understandable. No facilities for a coffee on site and with buses only every hour plan your departure. Free to visit and with a good understanding of the Holocaust (as a historian) useful to visit but may be less sound this so the first camp you’ve attended with no prior knowledge

I agree with other reviews very interesting,glad we went but limited information on transport there as a wheelchair user and accessibility -hence this review. The camp itself was all accessible with a good accessible toilet. We were wrongly informed that the 870 bus was wheelchair accessible by the Gdansk bus information employee. However, the bus had four steps at the entrance and required my husband and the helpful bus driver to manoeuvre me and Wheelchair to space on bus. We decided to opt for a taxi to return to Gdansk which was organised by the very kind woman Agata at camp reception/entrance. Local Taxi to return to Gdansk cost 300 zlt & approximately 50 minutes journey time.

We brought our children 12 and 14 years old here. No queues despite high season (end of July). Taken an uber from Gdansk who waited for us while we were inside the museum (paid 180 pl each way). The museum has free entrance. Spent 2 hours. Much was well preserved, but we missed some more info in English. A strong story told through this place. Nb! Bring water and possibly food. Recommend and take the tour if you are in Gdansk/Sopot.

. . . It is a worthwhile visit in order not to forget the mistakes of the past, it gives you chills to think that so many people died there without having any fault or having done anything to deserve it. . . These witnesses are good to be able to look to the future. . . We had been to Auschwitz and this one is much smaller but you can get an idea of ​​the theme . . . És una visita que val la pena per no oblidar els errors del passat, fa venir calfreds, pensar que tanta gent hi va morir sense tenir cap culpa ni haver fetb res per mereixer-ho . . . Es bo aquestos testimonis per poder mirar el futur . . . Haviem estat a Auschwitz i aquest es bastant més petit però et pots fer unaa idea del tema . . .
