Krakow Christmas Market is one the largest and best-loved markets in Poland. Located on the Rynek Glowny, a 13th-century square in the centre of the old town, the market becomes a central feature of the city at Christmas time, filling the streets between the famous Cloth Hall and the imposing St Mary's Basilica. The square is a popular meeting place for tourists and locals, and during the weekends and evenings before Christmas, the atmosphere becomes electric as visitors embrace the Christmas spirit with aplomb. Merchants set up timber huts across the square selling ornate crystal decoration, seasonal wares and some incredible Polish food including Oscypak smoked cheese, tasty perogies and hot drinks made with vodka to help stave off the cold winter air. Lifestyle influencer Maddison Wood shared a video of her previous visit to Krakow, and so far over 3.2 million viewers have watched her montage of snowy shopping days in Square. Her followers have been sharing her love for the ancient city with fellow traveller "B" saying: "Krakow is one of the nicest places I've been. It's so clean and cheap but stunning places!
