You might want to pack your winter warmers for New Year in Warsaw. This beautiful Polish City has a winter wonderland look throughout December with festive lights strung throughout the streets, Christmas Trees and the old town has its very own Christmas Village.
There tends to be 3 main Christmas markets to wander around, including the Old Town Market Square, Castle Square and the Palace of Culture and Science. You will also come across and Ice Rink or two where you can get your skates on (or hire them if you don't have your own!)
Warsaw is a great place for exploring. The architecture, beautiful parks like Ĺazienki Park and a plethora of museums will keep you occupied throughout your stay. Take a walk around the Old Town with a lovely variety of cafes and shopping, visit Castle Square, go and see the Palace of Culture and Science and visit the observation deck for some stunning panoramic views over Warsaw, and there is also a special new year party, and if you are so minded (which I am) head to one of the Vodka bars to sample their wares - I've enjoyed many a shot with some outrageously tasty flavours!
There is normally a free public party each new years eve in Warsaw in the old town, along the banks of the Vistula River and for a big party vibe Defilad Square may be for you, it will be packed with people and has live music entertainment from some great Polish stars. Expect some fireworks too if last year is anything to go by.
What a beautiful way to say goodbye to 2023 with an exceptional evening of music. With the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Lucasz Borowicz, with soprano Izabela Matula. The programme will be a full rendition of Ferenc Lehar's The Merry Widow. Buy your tickets now.
