Winter in Wrocław Poland | Christmas Market, Dwarfs & City Streets

Hi guys, we're Andrew & Patricia. Join us for our first winter break in the beautiful Polish City of Wrocław, Poland... the city of dwarfs, colourful streets, and pure Christmas magic!

We kicked off from Poznań on a quick bus ride, checked into our cosy accommodation with an amazing view of the town square and clock tower, then headed straight out to soak up the festive vibes at Wrocław’s enchanting Christmas Market. Twinkling lights, mulled wine (grzaniec), and that cosy winter atmosphere made the evening unforgettable!

Day 2 was all about exploring the city: We shared the story of Waldemar “Major” Fydrych and the legendary Orange Alternative movement that used playful dwarf graffiti to resist communism in the 1980s, those little dwarfs are everywhere now! Taking note of the iconic Hansel and Gretel houses (Jaś i Małgosia) with their charming bridge that looks like the siblings holding hands.

As evening fell, we admired the stunning Wrocław Cathedral (light-up views are magical!), hunted for the famous flame keeper who manually lights the historic gas street lamps with a blowtorch, and wrapped up with delicious fresh jagodzianka (blueberry buns – the perfect sweet treat!).

Wrocław in winter is pure charm, historic streets, festive markets, and so much history. If you're planning a Poland winter trip, this city needs to be on your list!
