Hotels near Plac Defilad Christmas Market
Pl. Defilad, 00-901 Warszawa, Poland
In front of the Palace of Culture and Science, the towering Stalin-era skyscraper that dominates Warsaw's skyline, a newer Christmas market has set up on Plac Defilad. It offers food, drinks, gifts and entertainment in a modern setting, close to the main railway station.
In the 2025 season, the market ran from 28 November 2025 to 1 January 2026, with features such as an outdoor cinema under the Christmas tree. The 2026 dates had not been announced at the time of writing.
From the Palace of Culture's 30th-floor viewing terrace, visitors can see the city lights spread out below. It is the most modern Warsaw Christmas market on this list.
Pro Tip: Combine the market with a trip to the Palace of Culture's viewing terrace after dark for panoramic views over Warsaw's Christmas lights.
