Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy - Main Square - Oławska Street

The Wrocław Christmas Market on Oławska Street extends the festive magic from the Main Square (Rynek) toward Szewska Street, creating a charming corridor of wooden chalets lined with seasonal delights. This section of Wrocław's renowned Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy offers a quieter, more intimate browsing experience compared to the bustling Main Square, making it perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful escape while still enjoying the full Christmas market atmosphere. The street transforms into a picturesque winter wonderland with smaller chalets offering traditional Polish crafts, regional specialties, and artisan goods. Visitors can sample smoked oscypek cheese with cranberries, sip aromatic mulled wine (grzaniec) from collectible ceramic boot-shaped mugs, and browse handcrafted ornaments and local souvenirs. The market operates daily from 10:00 to 21:00, with food and drink stalls often staying open later into the evening. The location provides easy access to both the Main Square's spectacular 24-meter Christmas tree and the cozy atmosphere of Plac Solny, allowing visitors to explore multiple market areas in one visit. With its blend of Polish traditions and international flavors—from Hungarian chimney cakes to Belgian waffles—Oławska Street offers a delightful culinary journey. The market runs from November 21, 2025, to January 7, 2026, making it one of Poland's longest-running Christmas celebrations. For the best experience, visit on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds and arrive at golden hour for stunning photographs.
