Is it crazy to say that the Easter Market was my absolute favorite thing in Krakow? When we planned…read moreour trip we didn't realize that we'd be in town the week of Easter but it turned out to be awesome!
This market takes up about 1/2 of the main square and has everything you need - homemade palms, lamb cakes, Easter candies, elaborately frosted cookies, painted wood eggs, plenty of crafts and lots to eat. We visited a few times during our trip and had some cheap and tasty meals for sure - my favorite was a thick slice of bread topped with delicious sausage slices.
I found that souvenirs were well priced and good quality too - it helps that many of the customers are local. We came home with a handmade lace tablecloth with embroidered flowers for under $100.
The best part was all of the festivities on Palm Sunday - tons of different cultural groups, singing, ladies carrying giant handmade palms...just great!
