The Gdańsk Resident’s Card is a modern tool that has been making it easier for residents to use city services since 2017, offering free admission tickets and discounts, as well as access to events and other benefits at the best prices. Currently, it is already used by 360 thousand. Residents. Users have at their disposal events and cultural, museum and sports facilities, special Gdańsk menu packages in restaurants, discounts on purchases and service orders in Gdańsk enterprises. For all those who like to spend time in Gdańsk, it allows you to discover as many as 32 city attractions. And it’s completely free of charge ! It allows free admission once a year m.in to the zoo, the Amber Museum, the Hevelianum, the ice rink, the swimming pools of the Gdańsk Sports Center and many other places. In addition, additional discounts are granted in as many as 200 establishments throughout the city.
The Resident’s Card allows children and young people to use public transport free of charge, while ZTM allows people who buy paid personal season tickets to travel free of charge on SKM/PKM/POLREGIO trains in Gdańsk. Seniors are the first to receive news about interesting events and programs designed especially for them.

The resident service point opened in Olivia Centre is the second facility of its kind in Gdańsk. It is also another public institution available in this largest Polish business center, after Invest Pomerania and the Gdańsk Talent Development Centre. Apart from them, residents can also find service points for Energa customers, numerous banks, a fitness center, and importantly, there are parking lots available on site that allow free parking for up to 30 minutes. The proximity of bus, tram and SKM railway stops is also important for residents.
Olivia, through the functions we offer to residents and tourists, is part of the developing Gdańsk, and the policy we implement to introduce as many services as possible to the center, which are used by residents and tourists, allows literally each of them to feel at home in Olivia – says Bogusław Wieczorek, Olivia Centre’s Board Representative. The observation deck on the 32nd floor of Olivia Star is the best place to start exploring Gdańsk, because from here, as if in the palm of your hand, you can see the whole city: from the tower of St. Mary’s Church, through shipyard cranes, the Gdańsk Stadium, the Bay of Gdańsk to the monuments of Oliwa with the cathedral, park and the majestic Tri-City Landscape Park. Several hundred events take place here every year, including concerts by stars of the Polish music scene, theater performances or meetings of culinary art lovers at the Michelin-honored restaurants Arco by Paco Perez and Treinta y Tres. Since this year, we have a center for multimedia family entertainment, and our offer is complemented by a fitness center, a medical center, numerous cafes, bistros and restaurants. We hope that the Residents’ Service Center and the Gdańsk Residents’ Benefits Program will allow us to welcome many residents who have not had the opportunity to visit us so far, and thanks to this, we will become a popular and popular place to spend time for even more Gdańsk residents.
