Gdansk is one of the most festive cities in Poland with multiple areas in the city decorated with Christmas lights, trees and baubles. The historic centre of Gdansk is Long Market, a pedestrian-only street lined with beautiful Hanseatic-era buildings. In this guide, we recommend hotels near Gdansk Christmas Market, close to Long Market or on Granary Island, the location of the Christmas Ferris wheel.
Hotels near Gdansk Christmas Market
Gdansk old town is small and very walkable. Provided you stay somewhere fairly centre, away from the train station, and don’t have any mobility issues, you won’t have too many troubles getting around to see the main sights and Christmas events. I suggest staying close to Long Market or on Granary Island where you’ll have everything at your doorstep. Gdansk Christmas Market is located at Targ Węglowy.
