Planning a trip to Elblag
There is a tourist information point (Brama Targowa; tel. 55/611-08-20; www.ielblag.pl) in the Market Gate in the north of the Old Town. From mid-June to September, it's open daily from 10am to 6pm. Off season, it's open weekdays only from 10am to 4pm. If all you need is information about boat rides on the canal, the operator of the leisure boats, Zegluga Ostródzko-Elblaska (Wodna 1B; tel. 55/232-43-07; www.zegluga.com.pl), is located in the Old Town along the canal.
