Warsaw doesn’t hold back on Christmas decorations. The Griswolds would be proud.
Christmas in Warsaw Christmas always seems a bit more ‘Christmasy’ to us when it comes with both a bit of good old-fashioned tradition and a wintry climate in which to enjoy it. And we’re clearly not the only ones, as demonstrated by the insistence of filmmakers to conjure up snow-dusted streets in places like the UK (think Love Actually, etc.) at Christmas time, when in reality a ‘white Christmas’ in places like London comes around only once in a blue moon. If that’s what you’re after, welcome to Poland, where there’s a better chance of a snowy ‘święta’ (holiday), despite climate change’s best efforts, and there’s a full calendar of holiday customs and traditions (most of them Catholic in character, of course) that will surely make your experience here a unique, and even at times completely foreign one. We help you get into the local spirit by detailing them, so you’ll be well-read and ready when you find yourself smitten in mittens beneath the mistletoe. 8 Warsaw In Your Pocket
