Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy - Main Square

The Wrocław Christmas Market transforms the historic Main Square into Poland's most enchanting winter wonderland, drawing over 1.5 million visitors annually. Spanning across the Main Square (Rynek), Salt Square (Plac Solny), and Świdnicka and Oławska Streets, this sprawling market features over 150 wooden chalets filled with traditional crafts, regional delicacies, and festive cheer. The centerpiece is a spectacular 24-meter Christmas tree adorned with 120,000 lights and 3,000 baubles, officially illuminated on December 6th during Mikołajki (Saint Nicholas Day) celebrations. Unique to Wrocław are the ceramic boot-shaped mulled wine mugs that change color each year, becoming coveted collector's items. The Fairytale Forest captivates families with animated tales and elf workshops, while the iconic Christmas Windmill and multi-level viewing platforms offer stunning panoramic views. Meet Prezentuś, the legendary Wrocław dwarf who appears only during the market season, and explore the two-story Santa's workshop where elves prepare gifts behind giant windows. From traditional Polish oscypek cheese with cranberries to international treats like Hungarian chimney cakes and Belgian waffles, the culinary offerings are exceptional. Visit on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds and arrive at golden hour for the most magical photographs of this historic square aglow with festive lights.
