An important visit for those interested in WWII history, especially. Though nearby Westerplatte often gets more attention, since that’s where the very first shots of the war took place, the post office was also attacked by the Nazis, almost simultaneously. Truly a “David vs Goliath” story, akin to a Polish “Alamo”, where a handful of brave postal services workers defended their free-city of Danzig for 15 hours, against a much larger German force. Sadly, they were eventually overtaken, & those that were not killed in the attack, were later executed as “unlawful combatants”. The exhibition is small, but interesting…10 zloty entrance. The monument out front is beautiful, & the wall where the defenders were forced to stand & surrender is also preserved with a monument, a couple blocks away.

The history of the polish post office is very fascinating! While the museum itself provides a lot of information and offers a beautiful display, I recommend some kind of guide. Aleksander (Olek) was very friendly and took some time to explain the events that have occurred and the connections to the display. The museum is rather small, therefore, I highly recommend a visit even for a short stay in Gdańsk.

A small, but very important museum where you get to see a key place of the start of the second world war. Friendly staff.

Good museum and an interesting story about how a few postal workers managed to fend of several assaults by the wermacht on the first days of WW2. However, I was expecting more than just two rooms.

Small museum. Went on Monday with free admission. Not worth paying money to enter. You can view the pictures here.

I haven't been inside the museum, but the building itself is impressive, and you can learn a lot from the exhibition outside

They are very polite. It is not big but after revive the History throught internet you can understand what it means

Small but fantastic staff who are more than helpful on the first days of the war in this little known conflict. Powerful stories.

Building is highly interesting from the historic viewpoint, so reading about the defenders of Postal Office in 1939 will provide you with much more interesting thoughts about this place nad value of the building. It's still interesting without reading though ( ;

Certainly worth a visit if you are interested in WW2 ,do not need long here 1/2 hour or so . There's an English description. This is also close to the larger World war2 museum .

Very interesting, and free to get in on Mondays. If doesn't take too long to see everything, and it was quite moving.

Truly amazing very kind personel also

Lovely museum worth a visit

Learned the story of the polish post officers who held off the Nazis at the start of ww2. For a moment I was in their shoes. Very moving

Very Important Place for history.!!

Historic site with powerful story of the Polish people during WWII.

Interesting museum of one of the events at the beginning of WW2. Gave an insight not only on the events and their background but also of the local life around the time. A very small note about the audio guide would be that the middle portion regarding the local life is a bit long-winding and very detailed. A little too much for me but still an interesting place.

It's tiny without much to see, can finish in 20 to 30 minutes.

good place to visit

Small but great exhibision. Very cheap entrence and exiting story about the terrible things that happend in there 😔😔

A small museum but full of important history from the beginning of September 1939 when Polish postmen, and boys fought for their country against, amongst others, the SS. The memorial in the garden where the executions took place is both moving, respectful and heartbreaking. Please visit.

This place is an awesome historical Museum and the staff here are very friendly and outgoing i highly recommend visiting this museum!

Great little museum with historical information regarding the heroic defenders of Gdańsk and the post office.

This a great visit, showing some fascinating world war 2 history

A very interesting museum in the building of the former Polish Post Office in the Free City of Gdańsk. 👍

An important museum to understand one of the first mass murders of WWII, conducted by the Germans under the "full authority of the law," i.e. after a sham trial. Some of these heroes were officially rehabilitated by the German court in Lubek in 1997.

Really important monument of the polish resistance. Sixty men managed to resist a whole day against guns, artillery and even a fire against them. The top half of the building has been reconstructed after being destroyed by the Germans.

Visiting time: half an hour. The museum is small, but there is a lot of interesting information in it. Very helpful staff. Worth visiting!

The museum is very small and provide little to share, definitely not giving this important place the justice it deserves. Still worth a visit. For some better and broader info on the importance of it and information about Free City of Gdańsk I would suggest the exhibition in Gdańsk Town Hall. There are plans to expand the current exhibition.

Powerful museum. Very small however the fee is according. Highly recommend visiting the back of the building which was the site of the execution of the postal workers.

Historic place. WW2 began here...

This is where it all started. Worth it.

I went there on Monday for a free entrance. The lady was so rude to me that it’s closed because of some group. And her eyes were looking like if I’m stupid. Also I was standing in row thinking it’s for tickets, but actually it was regular post office. Yeah I spent one hour for nothing. Don’t go there just for a principle.

There is usually a queue because of only one person serving customers

Lovely small museum, showing an important part of history not only for Poland, but for the world. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby. English translated text readily available throughout. FYI the audioguide is quite longwinded! Lots of detail though.
