European Solidarity Centre tickets and visit planning
Start outside before entering the exhibition. Gate No. 2 and the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers establish the setting for the accounts inside. The building also contains spaces beyond the ticketed exhibition, so check what you want to see before choosing admission. Leave time afterwards to revisit the square with the workers' stories in mind.

European Solidarity Centre tickets and visit planning
Do I need a ticket to see the monument?
No. The monument stands outside on Plac Solidarności. Exhibition admission is a separate matter from visiting the square.
Can I combine this with the war museum?
Yes, but the two exhibitions make a demanding day. Allow a proper meal break and avoid placing their entry times close together.
Can I explore the whole shipyard afterwards?
Access varies across the wider shipyard area. Follow public routes and signs, and do not enter working or restricted spaces.
Should I arrange a guide?
A guide can help if Polish political history is unfamiliar. Check available languages and booking requirements on the official site.
