Magical Christmas Market in Kraków Poland. Must Visit! Best Christmas Market in Europe.

This week we’re back in Poland, in the amazing city of Kraków checking out what might be one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe. This is actually our very first European Christmas market which makes it extra exciting for us!
Krakow’s Christmas Market takes place in the Main Market Square, which also happens to be one of the biggest squares in Europe.
While visiting the Christmas Market we try mulled wine (hot spiced wine also called Grzaniec Galicyjski in Polish), oscypek which is smoked sheep cheese from the south of Poland, Polish Pierogi, and potato pancakes.
While here we also check out the Christmas tree in the square, as well as the different stalls to see what types of things you can buy at the Krakow Christmas Market.
ABOUT KRAKOW
Kraków, a southern Poland city near the border of the Czech Republic, is known for its well-preserved medieval core and Jewish quarter. Its old town - ringed by Planty Park and remnants of the city’s medieval walls - is centered on the stately, expansive Rynek Glówny (market square). This plaza is the site of the Cloth Hall, a Renaissance-era trading outpost, and St. Mary’s Basilica, a 14th-century Gothic church.
ABOUT POLAND
Poland, officially the Republic of Poland, is a country located in Central Europe. It is divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate.

Best food = Budapest Christmas market..the variety is simply huge Best people´s vibe = Bratislava Christmas market Most beautiful Christmas tree = Prague Christmas market The overall most magical atmosphere = Vienna Christmas market in front of the townhall That is no ranking 1,2,3,4.. those are simply all very very nice in their own way and definitively worth to visit. Zagreb´s christmas market should be also very nice but I´ve never been there in December, that´s just what I´ve heard so far.

Julian Mach, I actually listened to that one yesterday, and some others. It is also very beautiful. Since I have some Polish ancestry, listening to these songs is like discovering my Polish great-grandparents, who left Galicja for the US in the 1880s. I would like to think that they sang them long after they arrived here, but then, I was never taught any of them.

My family is from Poland, I was even born there too. But we've been living in the United States for over 30 years. My mom used to make potato pancakes all the time when I was younger. They actually have onions in them too. But instead of sour cream, we'd actually top them with powered sugar. I know sounds weird...powered sugar on onion potatoes... but they were delicious. Especially when fresh!=)

[@ericripley2739]

Your videos are getting better and better. See you at Christmas!

[@ireeus]

Merry Christmas guys. Polish lesson: One "pieróg" (ó=oo eg. wood)- singular Two, three or four "pierogi" - plural (1) Five, six, seven ... "pierogów" (pierogoov) - plural (2) In our language plurality exists in two versions depending on the number. If there's more than 1 it is called pierogi but if it is more than 4 you would say 5( or 6 or 7 etc) pierogoov. It gets more complicated when the number of pierogoov is 22 then you would say 22 pierogi (not pierogoov) and it stays like that for every number that ends with numbers 2,3,4 ( for example 22,23,24 or 32,33,34 or 122,123,124 etc) greater numbers like 25,36,127 etc will have second form of plurality. For some wired reason if there's 21 pierogów you wouldn't say 21 pieróg (singular) unless you counting pierogi which is similar to English when you say twenty first pieróg I hope this will help you :)
