Puck combines a medieval town center with museums and a coastal cycling route. Stary Rynek forms the center; its regular street network with one hundred plots was laid out in the 14th century. The city also offers exhibitions with changing and permanent themes, as well as a cycling route along the shoreline.
Stary Rynek and the city’s former functions
Around Stary Rynek, restored townhouses preserve traces of former craft workshops, grocery stores, inns and taverns. Together with the regular street network, they tell two sides of the city’s development: the layout of one hundred plots points to medieval urban planning, while the preserved traces reveal the houses’ former uses. This allows you to see the square not only as a center, but also in the context of the city’s former commercial life.
Museums with different themes
The Muzeum Ziemi Puckiej im. Floriana Ceynowy hosts temporary exhibitions in the townhouse at Stary Rynek 28. The Szpitalik branch at ul. Wałowa 11 offers a different perspective: it features a permanent exhibition focused on ethnographic collections. The two locations therefore differ both in their addresses and in their exhibition formats. If you include both in your plans, you can combine temporary exhibitions with a permanent ethnographic theme.
The Muzeum Morskiego Dywizjonu Lotniczego adds the history of Puck’s naval aviation to these themes. Exhibits include military artifacts, historical photographs and visualizations of early aircraft. The presentation brings together objects, photographs and visual depictions of a local historical subject. If you are looking for another focus alongside the exhibitions at the Muzeum Ziemi Puckiej, you can explore the history of naval aviation in Puck here.
Coastal cycling route and seasonal transport
The coastal cycling route from Puck passes the Kaczy Winkiel viewpoint, follows the shoreline through the city to the Rozgard residential area, and continues toward Rzucewo. You can decide whether to include the section to Rozgard or also the continuation toward Rzucewo in your plans. The described route therefore provides specific landmarks to help you choose a cycling stage, without prescribing a particular day’s itinerary.
In 2026, water tram service was introduced on the Puck–Chałupy route as part of the transport and tourism offer in the Puck Bay region. The service is seasonal; check current departures before your trip and whether the connection operates during your travel dates. This lets you consider the coastal cycling route and the seasonal Puck–Chałupy service as different options when planning your trip.
Tradition and travel planning
For centuries, the Pucka Fara hosted annual fishermen’s indulgences for Norda and Kashubia. The celebration is said to take place on the last Saturday in June. If you would like to include this historic tradition in your travel plans, check in advance whether the celebration is taking place in your travel year and what opportunities there are to take part.
When looking for accommodation, you can first decide whether you are choosing Puck for its town center and museums or as a starting point for the cycling route. Then you can search for hotels in Puck and include the seasonal water tram in your plans only if the current departures fit your travel dates.
