Krakow Christmas Market 2021

An escorted tour to Krakow's magical Christmas market and the winter wonderland of Zakopane

What we Love

A Christmas market set in Krakow's 13th century Market Square where delicious edible treats, from dumplings and grilled oscypek (sheep cheese served hot with cranberry jelly) to gingerbread and warm and spicy Galician mulled wine, tempt at every turn. And a night in Zakopane, Poland's snowy 'winter capital' nestled at the foot of the Tatra mountains.

Experiences you will treasure 

Shopping for hand painted glass baubles, traditional Boleslawiec pottery tree decorations with their distinctive blue and white designs, pine wreaths and gingerbread in all shapes and sizes in Krakow's Christmas Market. (You can read more about these traditional decorations on our blog)

Discovering uniquely Polish seasonal traditions, including the Christmas crib contest. Held in the city each December since the 19th century, the decorated nativity cribs, some of which reach two meters in height, are taken in procession to the Historical Museum where they are put on public display.
