The idyllic winter celebration spreads across the entire city, including Rynek Marquet Square, Place Solny, Świdnicka Street and Oławska Street. The market's fairytale atmosphere brings visitors from across Europe, and many from Poland itself as many start their pilgrimage to Wroclaw in late November. Entry is also free.
Stalls sell handmade crafts and treats, mulled wine, and delicious food. Mulled wine at the market costs only 15 PLN (£3.10), but you do have to pay a 15 PLN (£3.10) deposit for the mug. If you want to avoid the extra fee, then head to one of the many bars or restaurants surrounding the market where you can find a warm cup of for just 9 PLN (£1.86).
