Warsaw residents are glad the fair is back at the Palace of Culture in an impressive form: clean, pleasant, lots of food and handicraft stalls, cards accepted. At weekends crowds and little space to eat; prices medium to high.
Warsaw's most impressive Christmas fair - on a weekday.

What visitors sayGoogle 3.9 ★ · 39 reviews
Visitors praise the atmosphere, especially in the evening, the pretty tree, chocolate-covered fruit, roasted chestnuts and products from Lithuania. They criticise high food prices for average quality (some think it is dearer than at the Palace of Culture), crowding, queues for children's attractions and a few dishonest stalls selling "highlander" cheeses.
Come for the Old Town atmosphere and mulled wine - eat in a restaurant next door.
