Plac Targowy Unitarg, Krakow

Plac Targowy Unitarg, Krakow

No visit is complete without taking a stroll down the street bazaars or visiting the make-shift-stalls on the footpaths of a city and the same goes with Krakow. At the heart of the Kazimierz, the Jewish district, one can find the biggest flee market the city has to offer.

The Plac Targowy Unitarg is one place where you can get anything right from vegetables and fruits to wristwatches, pottery and even antique artefacts that one can only stumble upon by chance. Located in the northern part of the city, the Plac Targowy Unitarg is a must visit when in Krakow.

Not only is it a tourist magnet, the locals too indulge into their shopping urges in the Plac Targowy Unitarg. Although the market is open to all, every day, throughout the year, there is no better time to visit than the weekends. A perfect destination on a nice summer Sunday morning, the market springs to life with the vendors chaotically trying to sell their merchandize and passers-by lazily strolling and taking their time to make up their mind. Although not an upscale market, if you do make it on Sunday, you are sure to stumble upon antique paintings, vessels, vinyl records, war mementos, old sculptures and lots more.
