Sundays Flea Markets
Comments(0) 
Each Sunday morning is your chance to check out two of Kraków’s best flea markets, just a few minutes’ walk from the hostel. Visit the stalls around Plac Nowy for clothes, mostly, and go to Hala Targowa for an unclassifyable assortment of objects ranging from baffling crap to actual antiques. Spread out on tables, or on old sheets or blankets on the pavement you might be able to find:
- stacks of old magazines, postcards, and assorted forgotten documents
- vinyl records, cassettes, CDs, DVDs — all of mysterious origin, all old, all well-used
- cute little cups, plates and dishes a grandma would love
- communist and pre-communist memorabilia
- furniture
- religious portraiture
- German porn, slightly used
- cameras, from famed plastic Russian Lomos (cheap and plentiful!) to Zenit (you can hammer in a nail with them they are so solid) to older and more exotic ones
- a set of used false teeth or assorted dental tools
- a bag of rabbits
Good places to bargain, and an a place where you can see things (and people) you will not find anywhere else. If you are looking for one specific thing, you may not find it. But if you are just looking for nothing in particular you will not be disappointed. During the week these places sell fruit and veretables and some other things (underwear, meat, spices, flowers, frozen pierogi, kitchen items, etc.) but the flea markets are only on Sunday morning.
