Wrocław suits anyone who wants a big market with a long run, since the fair on the Rynek opens on 20 November 2026 and carries on to 7 January 2027. Expect company, because the organizer counted 1,025,887 visits in the 2025 season.
Who should base here
The Wrocławski Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy fills all four sides of the Rynek and spills into Plac Solny and down the street toward the Opera, so a room in the Old Town keeps every part of it close. It trades from 20 November 2026 to 7 January 2027 and shuts on only three days, 24 and 25 December and New Year's Day. That gives you a market on almost any date of a December trip, including the week after Christmas.
Base yourself in Stare Miasto (the Old Town), where the Rynek ranks among the largest market squares in Europe and holds Poland's oldest preserved town hall. The fair wraps around the town hall on every side. Families should head for the fairy-tale wood the organizer calls Bajkowy Lasek, where a windmill hut serves drinks.
Worth knowing
- The organizer lists disabled parking near the fair on Szajnochy, Gepperta, Szewska, Kotlarska, Wita Stwosza and Modrzejewskiej streets.
- The fair is closed on 24 and 25 December and on 1 January, and it opens at 13:00 on 26 December.
