Time Out names the world's most Iconic Christmas tree - it's Kraków's!

Portal timeout.com opublikował zestawienie najpiękniejszych miejskich choinek na świecie. Zaszczytne pierwsze miejsce zajął w nim Kraków, wyprzedzając nawet ikoniczne drzewko przy Rockefeller Center w Nowym Jorku!

The creators of the compilation called Krakow's Christmas tree ‘the crowning jewel of the charming festive market’. They also appreciated the picturesque background of streets and architecture.

Set up on Kraków's Main Square by St Mary's Basilica, the natural spruce is decorated with 26,000 energy-efficient color-changing lights and 64 ornaments, imitating melting icicles. In addition, the tree is decorated with more than a thousand inlaid baubles, echoing the ornaments from the Wawel tapestries. Artificial Christmas trees also appeared in other parts of the city - at Podgórski Square, in front of the National Museum, as well as at Central Square and All Saints' Square.

timeout.com also gave credit to the Christmas tree in Gubbio, Italy (2nd place in the rating) as well as the aforementioned Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in New York (3rd place).
