Hello, google translate tells me that article is about Wrocław… is that correct about Krakow? Trying to find confirmed dates myself!
Hi Michele, ahh you’re right! Sincere apologies for linking the wrong article. Here is an official Facebook event for the Krakow Christmas Market created by the “Cultural Information Point of Krakow”. We’ve been having a really hard time finding an official organizer’s website about the event, but so far this is the most official source we’ve found. Hope that helps!
About Warsaw this is the Christmas Market in the Old Town on Barbacan ( November 26, 2021 – January 6, 2022 )

Great! Thanks for sharing, Daniel.
I’m interested in the Christmas markets In Krakow fir November/ December 2022. I’ve looked everywhere to find dates. Please provide me a link as I’m already planning a trip and need these dates.
Hi Alicja, the event organizers haven’t confirmed any dates yet for 2022, which is why you haven’t been able to find dates anywhere, but if you look at historical trends, the Krakow Christmas Market has generally taken place from the last Friday of November until Christmas, so (to be safe) if you organize your trip for sometime between the first week of December and Christmas then you should definitely be able to experience the markets. Sorry to not have anything more concrete for you – we’re not the organizers, just a website that curates info from official sources. Hope that helps!
