How to Get to Łeba
Łeba is a seaside town on the Pomeranian coast best reached from Gdańsk (GDN) by a train to Lębork plus a local bus, or by direct seasonal buses in summer. Plan ahead in high season when services are busiest.
Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (GDN): Gdańsk is the main international airport for the Pomeranian coast. From GDN you can travel to Łeba by a combination of train and bus (typically Gdańsk → Lębork by train, then bus to Łeba) in about 2-2.5 hours; combined fares are commonly 25-60 PLN (€6-€14) depending on service and connections. A direct airport coach plus bus combinations are also available in summer.
Słupsk / Koszalin (regional airports): Regional airports at Słupsk and Koszalin have limited scheduled service and seasonal flights; they may offer shorter drives to Łeba but services are inconsistent. Most international visitors use Gdańsk (GDN).
Train: There is no direct long-distance rail service to Łeba; the usual rail route is to Lębork (Lębork station) from Gdańsk or Gdynia and then transfer to a local bus to Łeba. The train leg to Lębork takes about 45-70 minutes from Gdańsk; the bus from Lębork to Łeba adds roughly 30-45 minutes.
Bus: Direct intercity and seasonal buses run to Łeba from larger Pomeranian towns and from Gdańsk, especially in summer; journey times depend on origin but are generally 1.5-3 hours from regional hubs. Fares are modest and higher in peak season.

Łeba’s centre and beachfront are easy to get around on foot; cycling is a good way to reach nearby dunes and parks during summer. Regional buses connect Łeba with Lębork, Słupsk and Gdańsk, and seasonal shuttles often run to Słowiński National Park.
