Gdansk’s Christmas market was ranked 3rd of the most beautiful Christmas market in Europe by users of European Best Destinations. Conveniently situated in the city centre, it is distinguished by its Venetian carousel, an Advent calendar with a viewing point with a new window opened every day and a giant Christmas pyramid.
You can also burn calories skating at the outdoor ice rink or riding Santa’s sleigh in virtual reality. Gdansk maritime links can be seen in its charming old town with its fountain of Neptune fountain and its shipyard, symbol of Polish freedom and the fight against communism.
