GTA 6 Port Gellhorn: Confirmed Locations, Landmarks & Everything We Know

Last updated: July 25, 2026

Port Gellhorn is a rundown coastal city on the western side of Leonida — one of the six major regions Rockstar officially named for GTA 6. Rockstar describes it as Leonida's “forgotten coast”: a once-popular vacation town now defined by cheap motels, shut-down attractions, and a grittier underground economy. It's also where the iconic Trailer 1 liquor-store robbery takes place. Below we cover everything Rockstar has confirmed — its landmarks, tone, and story tie-ins — while keeping September-2022 leak content and fan-mapped details clearly separated.

What Is Port Gellhorn in GTA 6?

Port Gellhorn is GTA 6's second major city after Vice City — a rundown coastal town on the western edge of Leonida. Where Vice City is glamour and neon, Port Gellhorn is faded and gritty: a former tourist destination that's slid into decline. Rockstar's own website description frames it as Leonida's “forgotten coast,” a place of cheap motels and shut-down attractions running on a rougher, grittier local economy, and points players toward dirt bikes as a way to get around.

It's the kind of worn-down, small-city environment that longtime fans might compare to GTA 5's Blaine County — a change of pace from the density of Vice City.
