The Gdansk Christmas Market is in full swing! 🎄 E The Gdansk Christmas Market is in full swing! 🎄

Europe’s best Christmas market has completely taken over parts of Gdansk’s old town, making it the perfect place to come for a winter getaway ❄️

I love going to Christmas markets for the food, and there are plenty of Polish and international food stalls throughout the market to sink your teeth into. You’ll also find rides, photo spots, and artisan craft stalls 🥟

Make sure you stop by the @visit_gdansk_official chalet where you can find Gdansk-themed products that make great souvenirs or Christmas gifts! 🎁

What’s your favourite Christmas market in Europe to visit? 🇵🇱

Stratford may be one of the most popular cities in Stratford may be one of the most popular cities in Ontario in the summer thanks to the @stratfest but it’s pretty awesome in October/November too! 🫶🏼

Start the day with breakfast at @fostersinn before walking around the downtown area, then grab a drink from @revelstratford before heading to the river for a nice autumnal walk 🍂
