The city is a port on the Elbląg River which flows into the Vistula Lagoon about 10 km to the north, thus giving the city access to the Baltic Sea via the Strait of Baltiysk.

The countryside around Elblag is picturesque and well worth exploring by bicycle. You can rent bicycles from a shop next to the train station and behind the bus station, or bring your own on the trains that come from Gdansk. Maps are available in most bookstores of bike routes, but be careful- these routes aren't clearly marked and it's easy to lose your way. But the area is small and the locals are ready to help!
