]]>Here are 3 great reasons to pay a visit to this Polish city this holiday season.
Enchanting Christmas Markets
With charming Christmas markets that capture the holiday spirit, Krakow turns into a winter wonderland during this time of the year. The Main Market Square, Rynek Główny, hosts one of the most picturesque Christmas markets in Europe. Stroll through the stalls decorated with twinkling lights, shop for souvenirs, and taste traditional Polish delicacies. It’s magic!
History and Tradition
The rich history and traditions of Krarkow are more than worth your while and can add a unique layer to your Christmas experience. Did you know that Krarkow’s Old Town is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with impressive architecture? Visit the Wawel Royal Castle and St. Mary’s Basilica for a majestic backdrop to your holiday explorations (and Instagram stories), explore Polish customs and rituals, and partake in authentic celebrations.
Nativity Scenes
Krakow’s elaborate nativity scenes are nothing short of spectacular. Wander through the streets filled with twinkling lights, and marvel at the intricately crafted nativity scenes displayed across the city. But that’s not all! Krakow holds a nativity scene competition, a local tradition dating back to the 19th century, where nativity scenes by local creators are assessed by a panel of judges. All creations are displayed until February at the Krzysztofory Palace.

Every December, a dusting of snow and a few decorations transform the heart of Tallinn’s medieval Old Town into a winter wonderland. Estonians take Christmas very seriously and are often credited as one of the first groups of people to bring the tradition of displaying trees for the holiday to Europe. In addition to several Christmas trees, the Tallinn market also features crafts, local cuisine, and even a merry-go-round.
Old Town Market Square, Poland
Warsaw is home to several holiday markets, with the annual Old Town market being the largest and most famous. The city’s historic center is a sight to see decorated with lights and an 80-foot Christmas tree, which add an air of celebration to the otherwise quaint and cozy area. Stay warm with a hot cup of spiced wine as you shop for Polish crafts, or grab your skates and hit the rink outside the Palace of Culture.

Faculty of Architecture
It’s not surprising to see that Wrocław’s Faculty of Architecture is housed in one of the most beautiful buildings in the entire city, but the lush greenery that surrounds it is equally impressive.

]]>3 in 1
Gdansk is not just one city, but three cities in one. It’s also known as Tricity and it includes Gdansk, Sopot, and Gdynia. This is a large metropolitan area with a population of around a million people. How often do you get a chance to visit three cities at once?
Affordable
Gdansk can be a perfect budget trip, so it’s a great idea to visit it when you’re already nearby – in Europe. Return tickets in Europe can get really cheap and you can find great accommodation for as little as $30 per night.
Beach
If you visit during the summer, you can enjoy the city beach and the many attractions it offers. Not many European cities come with a beach so this is a great perk.
