Über diesen Tip
From late November into the new year, wooden stalls fill the Old Town, from Castle Square along the old walls to the Barbican and on to the Old Town Square. Entry is free. Try hot mulled wine, oscypek smoked cheese and gingerbread, and bring some cash for small craft stalls, as not all take cards. Weekdays are quieter than weekends, and Warszawa Centralna is a short bus or tram ride away.
