– shops, cafes, restaurants
Right by the vibrant Ekomarina and the shore of Lake Niegocin rises a modern complex that quickly became a popular place for meetings, shopping, and relaxation – often called the Port Passage. It is much more than just a shopping center. It is a place where urban style blends with the Masurian landscape, offering not only shops and restaurants but also a unique attraction – a pedestrian walkway with a panoramic viewpoint.
Shopping with a view of the port
Do you need a souvenir from Masuria, a new wardrobe item, or maybe you just want to do everyday shopping in a pleasant atmosphere? Port Passage offers a selection of shops and boutiques with various profiles. While walking between them, you can admire the view of the nearby marina and feel the sailing atmosphere of Giżycko. It's shopping in a completely different, more relaxing style.
A culinary haven by Lake Niegocin
Hungry or craving coffee? In Port Passage and its immediate vicinity, you will find a wide range of dining options. From cozy cafes serving aromatic coffee and delicious desserts, through ice cream parlors, to restaurants offering diverse menus – from regional cuisine to international flavors. Many of these places have gardens or terraces, where you can enjoy your meal with a beautiful view of the port and Lake Niegocin.
Walkway – a stroll in the clouds above the marina
Undoubtedly, one of the greatest attractions of this complex is the modern pedestrian (walking) walkway. Rising above part of the port or quay, it is not only an interesting architectural element but above all a public viewpoint. Be sure to walk on it to:
- Admire the panorama of Ekomarina with hundreds of moored yachts (the "forest of masts").
- Look at Lake Niegocin from a different perspective.
- See a section of the panorama of Giżycko.
- Take impressive photos, especially at sunset.
A walk on the walkway is a short but very pleasant attraction that allows you to appreciate the beauty of Giżycko's location.
The modern heart of the waterfront
Port Passage together with the walkway and the adjacent Ekomarina form the modern, vibrant center of Giżycko's waterfront. It is a place where you can take care of matters, shop, enjoy good food, meet friends, and above all – enjoy the proximity of water and the unique atmosphere of Masuria in comfortable conditions, even if the weather outside is not ideal for outdoor walks.
Location and accessibility
The Port Passage complex is located in the most attractive part of Giżycko – right by the Ekomarina, on the shore of Lake Niegocin and near the Pier and City Beach. From Hotel Wodnik you can easily reach here on foot in a few minutes.
Why visit the passage and walkway?
Because it is a place that perfectly combines functionality with pleasure. The possibility to do shopping or have a meal in a modern setting right on the lakeshore, and on top of that a unique opportunity to look at the port and lake from above thanks to the viewing walkway – all this makes it worth visiting during your stay in Giżycko.
