Kraków’s main square hosts one of Poland’s most beloved Christmas markets, with wooden huts set beneath the gothic towers of St Mary’s and the Renaissance Cloth Hall.
The 2025 season runs from late November to New Year’s Day, with a separate New Year’s Market continuing festivities after Christmas. Browse hand‑painted baubles, woollens and regional delicacies, and warm up with grzaniec in candlelit cupolas. The pedestrianised Old Town, easy tram network and dense historic sights make it an ideal, walkable winter city break.
