Christmas Markets

This year has definitely been an annus horribulus. And another one of the many things I miss about Europe are the Christmas markets. They try them in the states, but it is just not the same. While it’s snowing outside my window, here is less talk and more photos of Christmas markets pre-COVID. Enjoy, be safe and a truly happy new year. Hopefully next year we can all go to Christmas markets again.

One of the entrances to the Krakow xmas market.
Oscipek! Fried cheese parcels – super tasty!
One of the big cookie stalls loaded with all kinds of cookies and pastries.
Fresh food is also available.
Many ornament and pottery stalls.
Honey – all kinds of honey.
The market tree at night.
The market is busy during the day and at night.
The entire Rynek is decorated with lights and ornaments.
Local streets of the Rynek.
One of THE most important things at the Christmas market – warm mulled wine.
I was in Berlin five years ago just before their xmas market was fully open. Amazing.
And this is the same xmas decoration at night with the famous Berlin TV tower in the background.
