All guided walks are free of charge.

FESTIVAL CLUB
Located in the PKP railway warehouse (access from 5 Kolejowa St.), the Festival Club is arranged by the Warsaw collective Densiflora and open from 5 pm until midnight. This year’s theme is It’s Darkest Before Dawn. DJs will present a spectrum of sounds – from experimental to club music – accompanied by hypnotising visual art. The bar is run by Lang.fuhr.
FOOD & DRINK
Along the route you will find several places to eat or enjoy a warm drink. We particularly recommend Gospoda, where our InfoPoint is based. Other nearby restaurants open until late include Trattoria La Cantina (7D/1 Dębinki St.), Winne Grono (17a Kopernika St.), and Don Alberto Napoletana (3 Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie St.). As always, there will be food trucks outside the Festival Club.
ACCESSIBILITY
This year’s route is approximately 8 km, with an average walking time of around 3 hours.
Visitors wanting to tour the festival at a pace that accommodates all participants may join one of the slow walks. Family walks and the Polish Sign Language walks (with interpretation into spoken Polish) are shorter and cover only selected installations. Please note that family walks require registration.
To support visitors’ emotional comfort, trigger-warning notices informing about sensitive content have been placed next to selected artworks. They appear on the stands, in the leaflet and on the website.
GETTING TO ANIOŁKI
Parking in the district is limited, so we encourage visitors to use public transport.
The Brama Oliwska stop, located near the InfoPoint, is served by tram lines 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 as well as buses 183, 184 and night lines N1, N4, N14. (For buses, the stop functions on demand.)
During the festival, tram line 6 will run more frequently (every 10 minutes between 5 and 9 pm; every 15 minutes between 9 pm and 12.30 am).
Those travelling by SKM rail should note that due to bridge renovation, access from Gdańsk Stocznia station towards the district is currently unavailable. We recommend getting off at Gdańsk Główny and transferring to a tram.
Paid car parks (from 4 zł/hour) are located near the InfoPoint at People’s Meeting Square and next to the Garrison Cemetery.
