The Foregate Christmas Market in Gdańsk transforms the historic area between the Upland Gate and Golden Gate into a magical winter wonderland. This section of Gdańsk's award-winning Christmas market features a stunning Christmas pyramid, Santa's sleigh photo opportunity, and charming wooden stalls offering festive treats and local crafts. As part of the larger Gdańsk Christmas Market that was recently voted best in Europe, the Foregate area serves as the welcoming entrance to the festivities, setting the tone with its enchanting decorations and traditional atmosphere.
