Walking
If you're starting from the Long Market (Długi Targ), head towards the Green Gate (Zielona Brama). From the Green Gate, walk towards Ogarna Street (Ulica Ogarna), which is just a short stroll away. Continue straight along Ogarna Street for about 400 meters, and you will find Cow's Gate (Brama Wołcza) on your left. Look for the distinct historical architecture and the gate itself, which is a notable landmark in the area.
Public Transport (Tram)
If you are further from Cow's Gate, you can take a tram from the nearest tram stop. Look for tram lines heading towards 'Gdańsk Stare Miasto'. The closest tram stop is 'Targ Rybny' or 'Długi Targ'. Once you board the tram, travel for two stops and get off at 'Długi Targ'. From there, walk down Ogarna Street as described earlier. Note that tram tickets usually cost around 3.80 PLN for a single journey. Make sure to validate your ticket before boarding.
Taxi or Ride-Sharing
For a more direct route, you can use a taxi or a ride-sharing service like Uber. Simply input 'Cow's Gate' or the address 'Ogarna, 80-824 Gdańsk' into the app. This option is convenient, especially if you have luggage, but it can range from 15-30 PLN depending on your location in Old Town. The driver will drop you off right in front of Cow's Gate.
