What makes Warsaw's market distinctive
- Setting: staged directly beneath the Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw's tallest and most recognisable building — the market and the skyscraper light up together after dark.
- Scale: around 160 individual wooden cottages, plus Poland's largest Ferris wheel and an open-air winter cinema screen.
- New Year's Eve: the Palace of Culture hosts a large open-air gala and countdown concert on 31 December, drawing the biggest crowds of the season.
Planning your visit
Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) reaches the centre in 20–25 minutes via the S2/S3 rail link. Plac Defilad sits in the heart of downtown, an easy walk or metro ride from most central hotels.
Because this is only the market's second edition, expect changes year to year — confirm opening dates on the official site before booking travel around them specifically.
- When does the Warsaw Christmas market open in 2026?
- Expected: 21 November 2026 to 6 January 2027 at Plac Defilad. Jarmark Warszawski is in preparation for its second edition; check jarmark.waw.pl for the finalized official timetable.
- Where is the Warsaw Christmas market?
- At Plac Defilad, the large square at the foot of the Palace of Culture and Science in central Warsaw.
- Is this the same as older Warsaw Christmas markets?
- Warsaw has run smaller seasonal markets in the Old Town in past years; the Plac Defilad market (Jarmark Warszawski) is a newer, larger production that launched its first edition in November 2025.
