Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy - Wrocław Old Town - Oławska Street

The Wrocław Christmas Market extension along Oławska Street offers a charming alternative to the bustling main Market Square, providing a more intimate festive experience in the heart of Wrocław's Old Town. This picturesque street, stretching from the Rynek to Szewska Street, features rows of wooden chalets that create a cozy corridor of holiday cheer, perfect for those seeking a quieter browsing experience away from the central crowds. The Oławska Street section is part of Wrocław's expansive Christmas market network, which collectively attracts over 800,000 visitors annually and ranks among Poland's most magical winter destinations. Here, visitors can discover traditional Polish crafts, regional Silesian specialties, and international treats while enjoying the festive atmosphere enhanced by thousands of twinkling lights. The street's smaller scale allows for more personal interactions with vendors and artisans, making it ideal for finding unique handcrafted gifts and authentic local products. Food stalls offer warming treats including oscypek (smoked sheep's cheese), pierogi, and grzaniec (mulled wine) served in collectible boot-shaped mugs. The market operates daily from 10:00 to 21:00, with extended hours for food and drink vendors who often stay open later into the evening. For the best experience, visit during early evening hours on weekdays when the lights create a magical ambiance and crowds are more manageable than at the main square.
