I invite you to a fulfilling 2.5-3-hour walking tour of the vibrant Wrocław city centre. Located in southwest Poland, close to the German and Czech border, Wrocław is well worth adding to your Christmas Market Europe bucket list. Known by several names over the centuries, including Breslau, Vratislav, and Presslaw, Wrocław is distinguished by its stunning architectural heritage, with fine Renaissance, Baroque, and Gothic buildings and churches. From the second half of November to the end of December, Poland's second-largest market square is adorned with festive lights, decorations, and seasonal charm, while wooden huts, a huge Christmas tree, the aroma of mulled wine, grilled kiełbasa, bread with lard and pickles, cinnamon buns, and local produce make it an essential place to visit.

Starting from the Main Square, we will walk through the biggest attractions of Wrocław Rynek, including the Christmas Market, Stare Jatki, Plac Solny, the Basilica of St. Elizabeth, St. Mary Magdalene Church, the University of Wrocław, the History Trail, Hala Targowa, and Ostrów Tumski.
