An unknown pearl of Europe

The picturesque Polish port city of Gdansk becomes a real holiday paradise during Christmas. It is home to one of the best "underrated" Christmas markets in Europe, characterized by its atmospheric atmosphere and unique offers. Thanks to its convenient location, the flight to Gdansk takes only two hours, and its accessibility makes it an ideal choice for a winter trip.

Gdańsk is famous for its support of artists and designers, which creates a unique fair atmosphere. Numerous chalet-style stalls offer handmade ceramics, wooden jewelry, and clothing made from recycled materials. It is a place where tradition meets modernity.

Delicacies for everyone

At the fair, you can taste many traditional Polish dishes, including pierogi - dumplings with various fillings. In addition, visitors can enjoy aromatic drinks to warm up in the winter weather.

Festive events continue throughout the fair season. The theater hosts performances, concerts and interactive events. Every Wednesday, Christmas hits are performed on stage, and themed challenges are created for families, such as guessing 12 traditional dishes for Christmas Eve.

On Thursdays and Fridays, Santa Claus appears on stage, giving visitors a fairy-tale atmosphere. And winter dance parties add dynamics to the festive evenings.

Three main locations of the fair

• Christmas factory. Here visitors can create their own gifts.
• Festive assembly. A unique room with decorated Christmas trees, a fireplace and Santa's throne is the perfect place for fairy-tale photos.
• Artistic Café. A space to relax with hot drinks and a selection of books.

The fair is located in three areas of the city: Przedbramie, Tkacka, Armory of Arts and Crafts. There are stalls with Christmas treats and souvenirs.
