Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy w Gdańsku (Gdańsk Christmas Market) is one of Poland’s most magical holiday fairs, filling the city’s historic Old Town with festive charm from late November through December. Visitors can stroll past dozens of wooden chalets offering handcrafted gifts, seasonal treats, and Polish specialties like pierogi and mulled wine. Highlights include the whimsical Angel’s Mill, a giant advent calendar, and a lively program of choirs and performances that bring warmth to the Baltic winter. With its mix of tradition, seaside atmosphere, and fairy-tale décor, the Gdańsk Christmas Market has become a beloved highlight of Poland’s festive season.
