While many visitors prefer to spend Christmas in Krakow or Warsaw, Wroclaw shouldn’t be overlooked. It is by far one of the most beautiful cities in Poland and throughout much of Central Europe.
Wroclaw’s a great addition to any Polish itinerary, especially if you’re visiting Krakow or even nearby Berlin or Dresden.
In this guide, we recommend hotels near Wroclaw Christmas Market that are highly rated and excellent value for money.
Hotels near Wroclaw Christmas Market
Wroclaw Christmas Market is held in Market Square, which is known as Rynek in Polish.
It is a colourful, historic square with cobblestones, statues, and fountains and lined with shops, cafes, bars and boutique stores.
The Christmas market extends into Plac Solny, a small square adjacent to the main square.
All hotels in the historic city centre (Stare Miasto) are conveniently located, but you could also consider staying in the area around Cathedral Island or alternatively near the train station if you’re arriving by train and only staying in Wroclaw for a short time.

The hotel is also just around the corner from the Bridge of Penitents, a wonderful lookout on top of a 15th-century church. Don’t miss it.
