In Poland, the day serves as the gentle finale to the country’s three-day Christmas season.
Unlike the British tradition of Boxing Day, once tied to charitable giving and gifts for service workers, the Polish version is rooted in religious customs, family gatherings, and the slow unwinding that follows the intensity of Christmas preparations.
Known in Polish simply as the Second Day of Christmas, it carries its own sense of calm, often marked by lingering around the table, visiting relatives, and sharing the last of the holiday dishes.
The day has also become an opportunity to enjoy winter activities or cultural events. Those willing to spend this day more actively may opt to take a trip to see exciting places across the country, taking advantage of a bit more time to spare.
That said, today’s show is set to take you on a half-an-hour tour of the southern city of Kraków and the capital Warsaw that rank among the most popular tourist destinations in Poland.
