According to the organization ‘Best Christmas Ice Skating Rinks in Europe,’ this year’s top ice rink in Europe is in Poznań, west-central Poland.

Poznań City Hall reports that “Poznań’s Bethlehem” garnered recognition from the organization European Best Destinations, a promoter of tourism and culture, during the International Poznań Trade Fair.

Skaters can enjoy the festive atmosphere under a canopy of thousands of holiday lights, amidst the historic buildings of the Universal Exhibition Grounds, overlooking a beautifully adorned Christmas tree and a windmill. The MTP ice rink outperformed those in cities like Nottingham (England), Craiova (Romania), and Zagreb (Croatia), as reported by Poznań officials.

The Poznań Christmas Fair was also nominated as the only candidate from Poland in the competition for the Best Christmas Market in Europe. It secured 4th place, just behind similar events in Budapest (Hungary), Craiova (Romania), and Metz (France).

The market at MTP will last until December 22nd.
