Poland
Gdańsk Christmas Market
Jarmark Bożonarodzeniowy w Gdańsku
20 November – 23 December 2026
Source: bozonarodzeniowy.pl · read 2 November
The organiser publishes 20 November to 23 December 2026, says entry is free, and places the market in the heart of the city.
The season
Sunday to Thursday 12:00–20:00, Friday and Saturday 12:00–21:00.
What to notice
- It closes on 23 December, earlier than Warsaw’s market. Do not assume one Polish calendar.
- Noon is the opening. A morning in the old town is for the crane and the waterfront, not the stalls.
What to eat and drink
Unless a sentence names its source, these are specialities associated with the city, not a confirmed menu for 2026. Stall lists change every season.
- The homepage promises seasonal food without a dish list. Grzaniec and grilled oscypek-style cheese appear across Poland in winter; treat them as likely, not guaranteed.
Planning notes
- The organiser’s own superlatives (“one of the best in Europe”) are advertising. The dates and the free entry are the facts.
- Friday and Saturday run until 21:00. Other days end at 20:00.
Getting there
Gdańsk Główny is about 15–20 minutes on foot from the old town, or a short tram.
When to go
A weekday after noon in the first week of December, before continuing along the coast or back to Warsaw.
