We’ve closed the year with our small group Christmas tour “The Magic of Christmas Markets in Poland” and this year it was especially beautiful since it happened to fall on the most snowy December days in Poland! Krakow and Zakopane – the winter capital of Poland – truly looked magical under the falling and fresh blanket of snow. We’d like to share some of the photos from the tour here with you and will be uploading hundreds more to the NEW 2022 Christmas Markets in Poland photo album on Flickr soon.
