Though officially the heart of Łazarz, the district’s market square (Rynek) does not exemplify the majestic grandeur those words might typically evoke in Poland, but a recent renovation has put a bit more shine on it with new trees and benches. Laid out in 1894 under the name Lazarusplatz and surrounded by townhouses from the early 20th century, the market square in Łazarz is just that - a market. Until recently it was permanently occupied by around 300(!) somewhat shabby striped tents selling cheap local produce, fresh flowers, and assorted bric-a-brac. Now all that has moved under a strange flying-saucer-like structure which cost the city some 40 million PLN. Regardless, you can buy almost anything you’d ever want here, and a lot more you’d never need.
