Water Temperature in Gdańsk: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Gdańsk, located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, is a historic city with a rich maritime heritage, and the Vistula River plays a central role in its identity. The river flows through the city, offering a scenic view and various recreational opportunities. However, the water temperature in the Vistula River can vary greatly depending on the season, with summer temperatures reaching around 18°C to 20°C. During the warmer months, these conditions might allow for some casual swimming, although the Vistula is not generally considered a prime swimming destination.

While swimming in the Vistula River is possible, it is not widely practiced, as the river is often busy with boat traffic, and water quality can vary. People who prefer river-based activities usually opt for kayaking or boating. For those seeking safe and enjoyable swimming experiences, the nearby Baltic Sea offers numerous beaches and swimming areas that are better suited for these activities. The Vistula River is more of a place to enjoy the view and experience the city's nautical atmosphere rather than for regular swimming.
