I'm Polish and what you show is nothing special to me, but you do it with such positive energy that it makes me smile all the time. And I don't smile often 😉
That is such a great compliment! We are glad we made you smile :) cheers friend!
@@JacobandJennyTravelI feel the exact same way. You're very sweet and kind with your pure excitement. 😊
Hi there, it's time to smile more often! It's Christmas time.
Start to smile more often it’s good for you, it’s healthy
@@beneundercover2885 When you've been living between Germany and Russia for 1000 years, you rarely smile. xD
The christmas illumination will start on Saturday ( Dec 2)
That is good to know! Thanks for the information :)
Royal Garden of Light, Wilanów Palace Oct13th-Feb29th.🎉
Sounds great! Thanks for watching :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel The Palace in Wilanów is the only palace in Warsaw that was not destroyed. It is completely original. He was 'only' robbed. It was the summer residence of King Jan III Sobieski. This was the guy who defeated the Turks at Vienna and Europe didn't become Muslim in the 17th century.
The best Christmas market in Poland is in Wroclaw 🎉❤
true
We definitely need to go there someday! 🎄 thanks for the recommendation!
prawda. True
and in Katowice 😊
Native Krakowian here - eating at these Christmas markets is the best way to spend twice the money on half the quality. Go for the visuals and get some mulled wine, sure, but other than that I strongly recommend eating somewhere else. For traditional home-made-style Polish food at a good rate, go to some of the government-subsidized milk bars ("bar mleczny"). Most of the cooks there are just retired women making an extra buck, but you can't beat a Polish babcia (grandma) when it comes to quality traditional Polish food cooking. I've eaten in quite a few of these for half the regular restaurant price and I was never disappointed.
Yes we definitely agree! The food at Christmas markets can be quite expensive haha. Thanks for the recommendations friend :)
I love people who can enjoy cities like you do. All the best!
Thanks friend!! We are loving it 🇵🇱 cheers!
You're starting where we ended! Warsaw does have a great Christmas market. Nice gloves Jenny. Jacob where is your scarf 😜?
That is so funny!! It’s a great place🎉 hahaha no scarf Jacob 😂
I love Polish food
It is so delicious 🤤
Varsovie no 1 en Europe ! absolutely love it ! de Suisse
Sounds amazing! Thanks for watching :)
Check Wroclaw’s Christmas Market, way bigger and better
True. Polish food taste so delicious! :)
It is so delicious!! We can’t get enough of it. Thanks for watching :)
Most famous Christmas Market is in Wrocław, looks stunning at night ). It is the largest winter market in Poland and has been visited by more than a million people last year (thus better to visit during workweek, due to weekend crowds).
We definitely need to get there soon! It sounds amazing 🎄 thanks for the recommendation!
Yes, almost every big city in Poland have their own Christmas market. You should definietly try "chleb ze smalcem" or "pajda ze smalcem" which is bread with pork lard, next dishes to try are "bigos", soup called "żurek" and more and more, i can write the dishes name all night :) I am personal from Poznań, but I heard that the biggest market is in Gdańsk.
@@witolek1 Im Polish so I already ate everything you mentioned and been on all Christmas Markets in this country.
Based on official data, Wrocław Christmas Market occupies the largest area and has the highest amount of stalls in Poland.
Jacob needs to upgrade his jacket for Polish winter.
Hahaha he has another jacket too! It is very warm ☺️ thanks so much for watching!
I was at Warsaw's Christmas Market first time last year and I was so disappointed! It was the smallest Market I've ever been to😂 I highly recommend the one in Wroclaw! Also, the ones in Gdańsk and Krakow are probably worth visiting 😊 Cheers!
Oh no what a bummer!! We are definitely doing the Krakow market! Thank you for the recommendation :)
Warszawa nigdy nie miała fajnego rynku świątecznego.
Gdańsk, Wrocław, Kraków już mają.
Warsaw❤ its amazing city, all the best for you😊
It is incredible! Thanks for watching ♥️
Have always wanted to go to Europe’s Christmas market! Thanks for sharing I’m super excited to watch this video! I have polish ancestry and you’re definitely making me want to save up the go! Also surprised Jenny wasn’t slurring her words by the end of the video! Those cups are HUGE!!! 😂
Mulled wine with spices is very warming. I advise you not to inhale the steam through your nose because it will make your nose and throat feel dizzy.😄
You should totally go!! It’s such an amazing experience 🎄hahaha the wine cups were really big🍷 thanks so much for watching friend!
But I'm hungry watching you eat these delicacies!
It is all so delicious 🤤 thanks for watching!!
Mulled wine "Grzaniec Galicyjski" is a regional wine from the south of Poland. I also saw Krakow's zapiekanki at the fair. I am surprised but also happy that they have Krakow's zapiekanki in Warsaw. However, the best ones are in Krakow, in the Kazimierz district. You should definitely try them there. You can buy them 24 hours a day.
Currently, there are Christmas markets in all major cities. In Krakow, on the Main Market Square, of course.
Zapiekanki are not exclusively from Kraków, they are well known in the whole country. In 1970s communist government allowed to create a small, family owned food stands or food trucks. There were food shortages, and baguettes, mushrooms, onions, cheese and ketchup were cheap and more or less accessible, so zapiekanka was a queen of Polish street food for a very long time. Stalls in Kazimierz in Kraków are the most popular place, but you would find it in almost every town in the whole country, mostly at train and bus stations. They are served on gas stations etc.
@@dziun1a tak ,zgadzam się .Zapiekanki są częścią tego kraju ale ja widziałam napis na stoisku "Zapiekanki Krakowskie " i o to właśnie mi chodziło . Jadłam zapiekanki w różnych miastach ale uważam ,że najlepsze są właśnie w Krakowie . Najgorsze jakie jadłam i zapamiętałam to było coś co nazwane było zapiekanką ale ni miało z nią nic wspólnego a było to w Lublinie koło Zamku .
Oh wow that is so interesting!! We will definitely have to try it when we get to Krakow! Thanks for the information :)
@@chanell59No i wszystko jasne :D Nie zauważyłam nazwy stoiska na filmiku. Też jadłam zapiekanki w Krakowie i pamiętam, że mi smakowały! Dla mnie jednak najlepsza zapiekanka to taka serwowana w moim rodzinnym mieście, bez wymyślnych składników, ale zawsze świeża i smakująca tak samo odkąd pamiętam :)
Grill cheese ,this is Oscypek its a Polish regional product protected by EU law. From February 2, 2007, they obtained the status of a Protected Name.
That is so interesting!! It is so delicious. Thanks for the information :)
Warsaw is Nr 1 capital city in Europe!🥳
We love it 🇵🇱
I love your positive energy and I'm happy to hear you enjoy Poland. I hope you have a fantastic time.
All the best!
Thank you so much friend!! Poland is an easy place to get excited about🇵🇱
Pięknie wyszło ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍 pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍
It is an amazing market!! Thank you so much friend :)
I'll be visiting Warsaw this week and I am getting excited but when I saw your video it made me conclude that what I saw in Budapest so far is the best.
Enjoy your time in Warsaw, it is great! I am sure Budapest is amazing too! Thanks for watching :)
I am waiting from Bangladesh 😊.
Will you visit Bangladesh??
If yes, then we are in waiting 😊.
If you come in Bangladesh then I will try to meet you couple. Love Poland and you couple. ❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩.
We definitely will someday!! Thanks for watching friend ☺️☺️
@@JacobandJennyTravel listed 😊
The best Christmas market in Poland is in Wroclaw.
We definitely need to go there! Thanks for watching :)
Polish food is the best! Smacznego ! ;)
It is sooo delicious! Thanks for watching :)
O LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas market videos!!!!
We totally agree 🎄🙌🏼 cheers friend!
Great video! You mentioned how you make mulled wine… speaking of Fahrenheit degrees, Fahrenheit was born in Gdańsk. So if you go to Gdańsk (highly recommend it) then check out the statue of Daniel Fahrenheit’s thermometer in the Long Market (Długi Targ).
Thank you friend!! That is so interesting, we will look it up! Thanks for the recommendation :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel Enjoy!
It looks like your trip around Poland is going great. Just watched your Morskie Oko episode. My family and I were there in the summer. We made it to the lake, constantly being passed by all the Polish grandmas and families with strollers😂
So magical! Thks for sharing ✨🙏
It is very magical 🎄 thank you for watching!
I like your enthusiasm :-)
It's nice to see you enjoying everything you experience :-)
We are so glad you are enjoying our videos!! We are loving Poland 🇵🇱 thank you for watching!
Great Christmas atmosphere.
It is incredible🎄♥️
good content
Thank you so much 🇵🇱
cool ;) thanks that you remind me why i have to for christmas to home from abroad
We are glad we could do that :) enjoy your Christmas friend 🎄
I am so proud and grateful to see you guys happy visiting my country ☺
We are enjoying Poland so much and can’t wait to explore more!
Still loving the snow 😍😍.. so beautiful the snowflakes on your coat ❤️❤️❤️.. and let's not forget ..yumm yumm🙏🥰🥰😁
It is so special to spend time in the snow!❄️ especially paired with the delicious yummy food!!🙌🏼 Thanks for watching Vicki!
Ha we may have been in Warsaw at the same time enjoying the markets!!
That is awesome!! You enjoy the markets too🎄
I live in a small town which i do love but so look fwd to traveling especially visiting these kinds of markets trying new foods 🤤
City life is so fun in small doses!
We totally agree!! We love city life, but do really enjoy quiet small towns and nature. Thanks for your comment friend :)
Welcome in my country .Have a nice time Here
We are loving it!!🇵🇱 Thank you for watching!
Wait to get the white mulled wine in Zakopane! That was where we found our favorite one!
Ooo we will!! 🍷
The frost is jamming total everything and you have sausage and oscypek :) I envy you like hell :D Greetings from Poland, but from another place, where unfortunately there is no snow. I hope you enjoyed your stay with us and were well hosted.
Hahaha!! Greetings friend! And thank you for watching ❄️ hopefully you can go see some snow soon!
At the end of November, there's already a lot going on at the Christmas fair, it's nice to think what's going to happen when December 6th starts in earnest.
We are so sad we are missing the lights on the 6th! But thankfully we will go to other Christmas Markets and see lights there! Thanks for watching :)
hi jenny and jacob how are you guys im so excited for christmas 😀
Hi Sam!! Christmas is the best time of year!🎄 We hope you have an amazing one!
You got reallyclose to the Wedel Chocolate place (on Freta street, near the Barbican), they serve pretty good hot chocolate.
Interesting! We will have to remember that if we ever go back! Thanks for the information :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel if you get a chance to go back in the summer, be sure to visit the Royal Łazienki park (and brings ome nuts for the squirrels - little buggers will even climp people for them sometimes).
❤❤❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️
Just back from warsaw christmas market very disappointed they were only about 5 stalls that sold christmas ornaments and the rest was food and drink plus the light were put off to the 7th December but they were small shops that are excellent best market I have been in is wroclaw
Oh no!! We were so bummed the lights weren’t on for us either. Thanks for watching!
I think you should try our McDonald's special winter offer - "Burger Drwala" and "zakręcone frytki" I am curious about your opinion. Enjoy! 🙌❤️
Ooo that sounds super fun to try them! We will look for a McDonald’s! Thanks for the recommendation :)
The ice ring was closed because it is not the time to start christmas time in Poland. In a week the old time square, Krakowskie Przedmiescie street and Nowy Swiat street will be full of lights, it looks wonderful every year.
It should be opened a week earlier 😊
That is good to know! We are sad to miss it! We will have to come back! Thanks for the information :)
Polecam jarmark w Katowicach( codziennie na rynku). A 8- 10 grudnia oryginalny jarmark adwentowy w dzielnicy Katowic- Nikiszowiec - jedyne takie miejsce w Polsce( dawna gornicza dzielnica Katowic).
They sounds great!! Thank you so much for the recommendations :)
Great Place😀
R u going to visit more cities before u leave Poland?
Yes we are going to Krakow and Zakopane 🎄 we can’t wait!
@@JacobandJennyTravelWe were in Wieliczka Solt Mine couple years ago. It's right next to Krakow. Unforgettable place, u go to 1100 ft underground and this place is Huge (180 miles wide) has many attractions with amazing museum. Best of it is they started this mine in 13th century. Also somewhere near in Poland is the biggest Castle in the world from 12th century i think😊
The best Christmas market in Poland takes place in Wrocław.😉😉😉 Poland, like Canada, is famous for its meads. It is an alcohol made from honey. The best mead is one-and-a-half, then twice - dwójniak, etc. You can eat real 'oscypek' cheese only in Podhale (a mountain region of Poland) and only between April and October. It must be sheep's cheese and not fake cheese made from cow's milk.😭😭😭 Warsaw's Old Town is to small, so a large Christmas market will now be open at the Warsaw University of Technology Square.
We have heard!! We definitely need to get there! Thanks for the information 🎄🇵🇱
Put on a scarf, because these escapades in the frost will be end with a cold.
Hahah we have scarves, but for some reason we just don't like wearing them! We will when it gets really cold ❄️ thanks for watching!
😘
♥️🇵🇱
👍
🇵🇱👍🏼
Guys I love your Channel, if you like to visit me in Ostrów Wielkopolski you are very welcome.I could pick you up at the train station 😊and I can accomodate you 😊
We are so happy to hear that!! Thank you for your kind words and incredibly generous offer! We will for sure let you know if we are ever in the area :) cheers friend!
Yeah horse driven carriages (for strict touristic purposes in crowded areas) are actually kind of a cruelty, it's been heavily discussed in Poland in recent years. It really is the problem especialy in summertime, some cities have some restrictions on (e.g. Kraków, I believe), but probably the worst place is Zakopane which I saw in the other video you are heading to right after Kraków. Just please keep in mind that those horses are usually (not saying always) very poorly treated if not simply abused, it's not cute, these animals are often short on basic needs (horses would literally be seen dying on the street or trail due to e.g. lack of water or heat or whatever the reason).
Oh no. That is so sad to hear. We do not stand for any type of animal cruelty so we will definitely not be doing it in Zakopane. Thank you for the information!
Try polish mead - I'd say it's better than gluhwein and definitely more polish. Enjoy my home country.
That sounds delicious! We will give it a try :) thanks for the recommendation friend!
You guys are growing on me!! Fun vlog and I love your enthusiasm!!
Thanks friend! We are so glad you're enjoying our videos! Cheers!!
The closer you are to the river Rhine the closer you are to the Europe's Christmas Markets origin place.
Check other 3 major Polish cities for them: Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk (the longer a city was under German influence, the more Christmas Market tradition it adopted).
That is so interesting!! We are going to Krakow soon and can’t wait to see the Christmas market! Thanks for the information🎉🎄
Warsaw is beautiful 🙂 great film 🙂 I also have a film from Warsaw 🙂 from August 2023 🙂 I invite you
Greetings from Poland
We are so glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for watching friend :)
I am going to Warsaw in March. From Chicago. Somebody told me that Poland has uncertainty right now with safety. Do you agree?
We felt totally fine there and had no worries! Have a great trip :)
🤶🥰🎄❤️🥰🙏
🎄♥️🇵🇱❄️
Poland Is noun for glass Christmas ornaments
So interesting!! Thanks for watching friend 🎄
Great video guys! Magical Christmas Market ❤
Thanks Sonja! The Christmas markets in Europe are always so special 🎄
Xmas market in Gdańsk is way better or even the one in Katowice tho
We need to get there soon! Thanks for the information :)
I’m so glad you had snow for your day. As always your enthusiasm is awesome. 😀💗
It was so perfect!! ❄️ We hope you're enjoying your snow as well! Thanks Kathryn ♥️
Mulled wine is only red. At least in Poland.
That’s what we thought but someone told us to try white! So interesting! Thanks for the information :)
Where is the location?
In the main square :)
Enjoy this snow looks amazing 😎💪🇵🇱
It is incredible!! Thanks for watching ❄️
Is wearing half collar a new trend?
Hahaha, we can make it one ;)
Poland - where you don't see concrete blockades and police with long firearms guarding Christmas markets. As a strickt atheist I like this very much.
Not sure what this exactly means lol. No matter what you believe, we should value human life being protected. Thanks for watching!
@@JacobandJennyTravel I mean there are no threats in Poland that require such security
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🇵🇱🎉
Ah yes, the Return of the BMG! So glad you guys had a beautiful Christmassy day with cookie cutter perfect snowflakes! As for me, I’ve pulled out the decorations and we’ll be decking the halls and trimming the tree tomorrow
Hahahah I was hoping you would catch that BMG comment I made!!😂 That sounds so perfect, decorating for Christmas is always so fun!! Wish you a very Merry Christmas friend 🎄
Merry Christmas guys. Safe travels!
mold wine too expensive 9$ per cup geez!!
It was very expensive haha! Thanks for watching :)
I don't understand your surprise that Polish are friendly towards other people. You should know that there has never been racism or slavery in Poland, and Poland has never colonized others :)
We were not surprised that Polish people are friendly haha, we were surprised it was snowing when it wasn't in the forecast! Thanks for watching friend :)
Come back to Brașov, Romania for the Christmas market. Sibiu also has an amazing Christmas market.
We are coming back to Romania after Poland 🎉 🇷🇴
No one else on the planet uses fahrenheit....so why would you use it in Europe???
I was just speaking from my own experience :) I know they don’t use it in Europe. Thanks for watching!!
Hi, you should visit the Christmas Market on the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) in Krakow , it's the biggest market square in Europe and at Christmas Market time it looks extraordinary. Highly recommended. Greetings 👋
We are going to!! Thanks so much for the recommendation friend :)
Kapsaicyne yabija nabia mleko itakietam pocodne .
Thanks for watching :)
Remeber that for us this is not expensive becouse you have 4x more money then us ;)
Yes I understand. Thank you for watching :)
Polish food is tasty, but to be honest.... food from Christmas markets isn't the best quality and is very expensive.
Polish food is delicious!! And that is good to know about Christmas market food! Thanks for your comment :)
Odkryli Amerykę ;-)
Haha! Thanks for watching!
...
👍🏼
You should go to Cracow, it's much prettier and cozier city
We are actually in Krakow now :) thanks friend!!
Sorry Guys BUT Warsaw has one of the worst Christmas markets in Europe! Wroclaw and Gdansk have some kind of Christmas Market Tradition and especially Gdansk is one of the top markets in Europe.
Hahah, we will have to go to those ones someday! Thanks for the information :)
15€ for 2pcs of china imported christmas decorations 🤣 pure scam
🤷🏼♀️
Warsaw is shit, go to Katowice, Wrocław, Kraków, Toruń lub Trójmiasto
We loved Warsaw, but we are in Krakow right now and also loving it :)
