Christmas Markets

From the beginning of December, the holiday season is already in full swing and in all major Polish cities, visitors can enjoy what’s best in the Christmas market tradition. Caroling, open-air concerts and performances, local craft works and delicacies, mulled wine, gingerbread and chocolate, Ferris wheels, carousels and pyramids – all accompanied by cheerful and spectacular Christmas illuminations and decorations.
