What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Zaspa Murals for their breathtaking scale and vibrant artistry, offering a unique and refreshing alternative to traditional Gdansk attractions. While some note that new murals haven't been added recently, the existing collection provides an impressive open-air gallery experience that immerses you in local life.
"The info table hasn't been updated in a few years, and the most recent murals are also 6-7 years old. The project seems to have fallen into hibernation with COVID. Still, I enjoyed strolling through the residential "Plattenbau" neighborhood spotting murals. Some are really cool!
Different from downtown Gdansk for sure, less glamour but also much closer to the life of average Poles. Worth the little excursion. 😎"
Ingo Boltz
"For those who like street art (obviously) and ones that don't like just constantly seeing old towns, museums and stuff.
Definitely recommended, the art is breathtaking and hands down awesome. So many murals in one place, each one uniquely different and looks like they change every few years too. I would really recommend any tourist to come and see, this place is quite unique 😉"

"Would recommend hiring a bicycle to explore the area. Interesting way to spend an afternoon."
