Kraków is a magical destination during the holiday season. The mediaeval part of the city transforms to become a festive wonderland with thousands of lights, horse-drawn carriages and the aroma of mulled wine filling the air in the Main Market Square. The famous Christmas market creates an atmosphere of joy by filling the air with Christmas carols, selling handmade gifts and offering traditional Polish food and drink. Kraków has been home to many historical buildings (both royal castles and Gothic churches) for several hundred years that are all within walking distance of one another. This creates an incredibly warm, romantic and nostalgic feeling, which is an excellent blend of old-world charm along with an active and lively café culture for an unforgettable city break in the winter months.
