When summer is over and Christmas is not too far away, the best thing to do is break it up by booking a city break in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Kraków.
A three night escape to Kraków offers romance, culture and perhaps a chance to make a dent in the Christmas shopping list.
The city’s traditional Christmas markets launch at the end of November – perfect for a little retail therapy.
European escape
Provided by The Travel Company Edinburgh (TTCE), today’s Big Deal flies you to Kraków, Poland’s most picturesque city, with a compact Old Town perfect for exploring on foot.
A three-night stay in one of the city’s most elegant and atmospheric hotels offers the perfect opportunity to rekindle some magic and forget those squabbles about whose parents are coming for Christmas dinner.
The Big Deal offers return flights from Edinburgh, with luggage allowance, and three nights B&B accommodation, based on two sharing, in the Hotel Alexander.

The city breaks are for three nights, flying out from Edinburgh Airport on the following dates in 2018:
10th, 24th, 29th September
8th, 27th October
3rd, 5th, 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, 26th November

Central hotel
Located 600 yards from Kraków’s Old Town, Hotel Alexander is a cosy, modern hotel which offers ensuite, air-conditioned rooms in the city’s centre.
Each room has WiFi, satellite TV, a minibar, and a hot drinks tray. A buffet breakfast is served each morning.
Galeria Krakówska Shopping Centre and Kraków Główny Railway Station are both a short walk from the hotel.
Explore Kraków
Kraków is a vibrant and romantic city, characterised by the well-preserved medieval architecture and charming streets of the Old Town, notably in the 13th-century townhouses, palaces and churches of the main square.
Highlights for visitors include St Mary’s Basilica, the Wawel Hill fortress complex and the eclectic and evocative district of Kazimierz, location for the movie Schindler’s List and now a lively bohemian quarter.
The stalls in the old Cloth Hall, the Sukiennice, along with the city’s street markets and craft stores, will be gearing up for Christmas and Kraków is the ideal place to shop for original and colourful gifts.
There is an option to add an Auschwitz Tour, from £34 per person.
Christmas markets
The Christmas market in Kraków takes place every year on the city’s huge central square, Rynek Glowny, in the middle of the Old Town historic district.
Traditionally, it starts in the last week of November and lasts through to December 26th at least.
The wooden stalls sell a wide range of varied Christmas decorations, gifts, toys, sweets and other foods. The Polish speciality of hand-painted glass baubles are always popular as are other folk art items such as village pottery, embroidered tablecloths, and wooden sculptures.
Carol singers add to the festive atmosphere.
