Kraków Markets

Kraków's open-air markets are the best places to get cheap local produce and the only places in the centre where you can buy vegetables that aren't white. 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. In addition to the legendary Cloth Hall on the market square (C-3, open 10:00-19:00), practice your "Proszę" and point skills at the unique shopping environments listed below.

Keep in mind that while haggling might work at Plac Targowy's Sunday flea market, it's uselessly rude at any of the daily market stalls. Expecting vendors to break a 100 złoty note will also be met with utter disdain.
