Park on the castle side of the river, near the welcome area. Although it’s a lovely walk across the foot bridge from the parking area on the other side of the river that you first see if you’re driving there from Gdansk, it’s also a very long walk all the way around the castle to get to the welcome building where you buy your tickets.
