Little Market Square, Christmas market in Old Town, Poland.
The Little Market Square transforms into a winter fair with wooden stalls offering traditional crafts, regional food specialties, and seasonal decorations.
Dating back to pre-World War II, this market tradition resumed after 1989, establishing itself as a central element of Krakow's winter celebrations.
Polish artisans demonstrate their craft techniques at the market stalls, creating jewelry, pottery, and glass ornaments using traditional methods.
The market operates from late November through January 6th, with vendors working daily between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM in the central square.
Merchants serve hot mulled wine from large wooden barrels, accompanied by twelve traditional Polish dishes during the winter season.
