Top 3 Christmas Tours in Poland

1.Christmas Music Concert With Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 243 reviews · 1 hour · from $27Our pick

Spend an hour with Krakow’s Royal Chamber Orchestra in the historic Dębinski House on Sławkowska Street. Expect familiar Christmas pieces, classical music, and sometimes Chopin, played by accomplished local musicians. A glass of wine is included, though the pour is small. The hall is reached by stairs and is not wheelchair accessible.

“I’ve loved the experience with my girlfriend, but I do believe it could be improved with the translation to english of what the artists say before and after the presentation, since it’s a touristically attractive presentation and the artists basically almost only communicated in polish (in which I do not speak a thing). Also, a little more explanation on why they chose the Chopin songs they chose could be a nice improvement.”

2.Flavours of Polish Christmas: 4 course dinner + cooking class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · from $120Top rated

Join Maria Oskroba at Pierogi & More in Warsaw for a December-only Polish Christmas evening. You will shape sauerkraut pierogi, taste beetroot soup with mushroom dumplings, enjoy a four-course dinner, hear about wafer-breaking and extra place settings, and take home recipes.

“This was a last-minute thing for me as I didn’t know what else to do in Warsaw on Christmas Day after spending the afternoon in the Old Town. I was pleasantly surprised by the family vibes Maria and her son created during class. In the end, all participants sat together and enjoyed a nice Xmas meal and sang carols. Highly recommend!”

3.Krakow Christmas Market Immersive Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $40

Spend about two hours tracing Krakow’s Christmas traditions through Rynek Glowny, Ulica Florianska, the Royal Route, and Stary Kleparz. You’ll compare old market scenes, sample Polish foods and chocolate, and hear stories about historic shops. Suzanna has led an especially personal version of the tour, adapting tastings to interests such as bread baking.

“What a fantastic tour! Suzanna was the most perfect guide. Taking us to multiple spots, gearing it towards our loves (bread baking) giving us traditional Polish foods to try that were some of the most delicious bites we’ve had in Europe. Storytelling like a pro with pictures of the same markets a hundred years before. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better tour.”
