This is another place that has been around since medieval times. It's more of a farmer's market…read morewith fresh produce, meats, baked goods, flowers, plants, coffee, wine, and tapas type food. It's just outside of the Old Town city walls near the Barbican in the Kleparz district. I didn't see as many tourists venturing out that way. Although, there were people visiting the Grunwald Statue. It's a great spot to visit when looking for more of the local flavor. I was totally impressed with the selection of beautiful berries and mushroom varieties. The gooseberries looked especially nice. Everything was very well-presented. It's an open air market that is covered. It's actually quite shady as you walk through it. There are ATMs outside in case you need to pay in cash, but many vendors except cashless payments. I really love that it has more of an International mix of products. There are Italian, Greek, Ukranian, and Spanish vendors as well as Polish. The freshly dilled whole pickles in the wooden barrel were very enticing as well as the bakeries. We really just stopped to get a bottle of water on our way to a resraurant nearby. They really do have it all here. I'd shop here weekly if I lived in Kraków. They are open daily with extended hours on the weekdays (6am to 6pm). It's totally worth a visit.

'Stary Kleparz' needs no advertising. Not only is it a food market, it's also a place for the…read morecommunity to shop, meet and enjoy culinary pleasure as well. You'll definitely cross every item off your grocery shopping list, if you have one :). If not, this is the perfect location to satisfy your appetite for local, unique products and more. I have my favorite guy there who sells 'oscypek'. 'Oscypek' is a smoked cheese made from salted sheep's milk exclusively in southern Poland. His products are always great. Even though I've never bought anything from him except cheese, the cured meat he offers always looks fresh and appetizing. I'm not mentioning the freshly killed poultry. This is a bit too much for me. 'Stary Kleparz'/Old Kleparz is an interesting spot to observe a lively part of the city. Saturday is the best day to visit. Have a coffee, or a glass of wine. It's such a pleasant way to relax and watch. One more thing. When it's busy, remember to secure your valuables. At some point my backpack was unzipped and the additional pocket had also been opened. Luckily the falafel I bought was still there. Just saying.

Wandered around this outdoor market on a Sunday morning and it was quite crowded. Outside the…read morecovered stalls, other sellers just setup table or spread blankets out on the ground. Some were nicely organized while others seemed to just dump everything on the floor. You can find almost anything here in varying conditions. There were Lego sets, clothes, coins, housewares, cassette tapes, tools, knick knacks, food, books and more. Good luck on your treasure hunt.

I've found the more I travel, the more I love a good flea market and Hala Targowa delivers on…read moreSunday mornings! The whole market is packed to the gills with vendors selling everything - antiques, coins, an incredible amount of used books, household goods, clothing and plenty of plain old junk. It's a popular market so expect big crowds. Prices seemed to be very, very reasonable and you can always try haggling. I brought a small pad of paper since my Polish is pretty much non-existent. It's a great place to pick up unique souvenirs or something fun to add to your collection. There was a shocking (to me, anyway) amount of Nazi stuff on sale, not sure who would want that stuff in their home. The flea market is mostly Sunday and then the stalls have food vendors during the week. If you are in Krakow, it's worth checking out. You'll probably find some pretty cool stuff you didn't know you needed.
