The Gdansk Christmas Market, renowned as one of Europe’s most beautiful, transforms the Targ Węglowy area into a magical winter wonderland.
Visitors can explore fairy tale illuminations and fairground attractions while browsing handmade gifts and sampling local delicacies.
The historic city offers additional attractions beyond the market, including the Museum of the Second World War, Gdansk Old Town, and the Dlugi Targ (Long Market).
The city’s waterfront location and rich history provide plenty of sightseeing opportunities for festive travellers.
This winter season marks Jet2’s biggest Christmas Markets programme to date, with over 100,000 seats available across their network.
The expansion represents a 30 per cent capacity increase compared to Winter 23/24.

These routes operate from 11 UK airports, including Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, Manchester, Newcastle International and London Stansted.
