5.boat cruise by heated ship during Christmas Market

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 30 reviews · 45 min · from $20

Heated Christmas boat cruise on Wrocław’s Oder River with holiday lights, carols, QR audioguide, and a 45-minute ride from the market area.

“Gefallen hat, dass es pünktlich los ging und zeitlich alles nach Plan gelaufen ist. Leider waren nicht genug Sitzplätze im Unterdeck für alle Passagiere vorhanden, sodass man entweder stehen musste oder auf das Oberdeck zum Frieren ging. Durch die vorhandenen Lichterketten innen konnte man außen nicht wirklich viel erkennen. Von den angebotenen Getränken gab es viele nicht. In Summe würde ich es nicht weiter empfehlen.”

A 3-hour Warsaw Old Town Christmas Market food tour with Polish holiday traditions, tastings, and winter views along the lights.

2-hour Krakow Christmas market history walk: Rynek Glowny, Florianska, Stary Kleparz, and chocolate tastings with a guide in English.

“What a fantastic tour! Suzanna was the most perfect guide. Taking us to multiple spots, gearing it towards our loves (bread baking) giving us traditional Polish foods to try that were some of the most delicious bites we’ve had in Europe. Storytelling like a pro with pictures of the same markets a hundred years before. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better tour.”
