Kraków's open-air markets are the best places to get local fruit and produce beyond the selection of strictly white root veggies found in most shops. Add to that meats, cheeses, spices, baked goods, doorknobs, dog leashes, pagers, potholders and literally anything else you can think of and you've got yourself a nifty cultural experience as well. Bear in mind that while haggling might work at Plac Targowy's Sunday morning flea market, it's uselessly rude at any of the daily market stalls. Also, expecting vendors to break a 100 złoty note will be met with utter disdain. Practise your "Proszę" and point skills at the unique shopping environments listed below.

Note that the markets listed below are open almost every day, while weekly markets (like Podgórze's Parsley Market) and other special markets (like the annual Christmas Market), are found under 'Fairs' in our Events section.
