Can't be in Łódź then? It's nothing! There will be no shortage of attractions on the following days either. There will be daily performances and occasional special themed events.

When is it worth going to the fair? If you want to take it easy and browse the range of stalls without rushing, make sure you go at the beginning of December. It's usually not too crowded in the first week. If you want to experience the real Christmas hustle and bustle, plan a trip in the second half of December or just before Christmas.

Did you know that you can get to the fair comfortably by train? On any day of the week, there are many direct connections to Łódź from surrounding towns and other Polish cities. It is particularly worth considering this option at weekends, when car traffic can be heavy and finding a parking space much more difficult.

The Łódź Christmas Market will be open until 23 December 2025, so you have plenty of time to visit. However, don't wait until the very end to visit, although you may find great bargains and discounts on the last day, due to the crowds, there is a risk that you won't make it with your Christmas shopping. In addition, some unique products may already be sold out, so if something in particular interests you, it is better not to delay.

Christmas Market in Łódź until when in 2025? Only until 23 December, it will already be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Keep this in mind when planning your visit!

Want to do your Christmas shopping and not overpay at the same time? Here are our tips on how not to go bankrupt during the shopping frenzy at the Łódź Fair.

1.Make a shopping list before going to the fair, this will help you avoid impulse buying.

2.Compare prices before you buy. At a Christmas fair the amounts can vary greatly, it's worth doing some research on a few stalls.

3.Negotiating prices is allowed here, especially if you are buying more items.

4.Go shopping during the week - outside weekends the crowds are usually smaller, so retailers may do discounts or rebates to attract interest.

5.Set a budget and try not to exceed it, this will help you control your Christmas spending. If the thing you want to buy exceeds your budget, try to find a cheaper alternative.

The Łódź Christmas Market will be open every day, with extended opening hours at weekends. You can go to the fair from Monday to Friday from 11:00 to 19:00 and on Saturdays and Sundays between 12:00 and 21:00.

We especially recommend going to the fair in the evening, when Piotrkowska Street is lit up with Christmas decorations. The glow of the coloured lights makes the atmosphere even more pleasant, which makes walking and shopping even more pleasant. The evening hours are also the time when most artistic performances take place.

The Christmas Market in Łódź is a unique event that you can take part in from 29 November. The whole event will last until Christmas itself, with the last attractions disappearing on the evening of 23 December. During this time, you will both shop, drink mulled wine and listen to carols and performances by local artists. The stalls open before noon each day and are open until late in the evening, so you will have a longer time to peruse the offerings available.
