What to do in Gdansk when it rains: ideas for a rainy day

What to do in Gdansk when it rains and you have no wish to get soaked in the Old Town? The best plan is one indoor spot with gaming, board games and a warm kitchen. Kinguin Esports Lounge in Galeria Metropolia brings all of that together right next to the SKM station.

What to do in Gdansk when it rains: an indoor plan

Rain over the Bay can be stubborn, so a plan that keeps you inside saves a lot of nerves. The mall lets you arrive without getting wet, as the venue sits on level 2, next to the Foodhall and by the SKM Gdansk Wrzeszcz station.

The advantage of a single venue is that you never dash between spots in pouring rain. Gaming, board games and food are all within a few steps.

Gaming on PC and consoles

A rainy day is the perfect excuse for a longer session. There are 58 computers with Ryzen 7 7700 processors, RTX 5070 cards and 240 Hz monitors. An hour at a computer is PLN 20, and the promo deal gives you three hours for PLN 50.

Console fans can pick a PS5, Nintendo Switch 2 or a retro PS1. There is also simracing on MOZA R5 rigs, where 15 minutes starts from PLN 20.

For those less into gaming

Not everyone wants to sit at a computer, and that is no problem. There are 59 board games to choose from, free with a purchase at the bar.

Check the calendar too. Tuesdays at 19:00 bring a PubQuiz for PLN 20 per person, and on Fridays at 21:00 karaoke kicks off. Plus a kitchen with pizza, burgers and sharing boards.

How long and for how much

If the rain is set to last all day, a daypass at PLN 120 or PLN 150, depending on the option, pays off. With it you stop counting every hour and play at your own pace.

The venue opens daily from 12:00, so it suits both an afternoon and a longer, lazy evening.
