3 Best Places to Shop in Poland

The largest Warsaw open-air antique market—Koło at the corner of Obozowa and Ciołka streets—has a little bit of everything, and is open every weekend. Treasures can be discovered amidst the junk; this is the quintessential flea market. Prices are negotiable. The market takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 1 pm, but if you're looking for bargains, come early.

Olimpia Sunday Market has a little bit of everything: sausages and sweets, second-hand clothing, antique furniture, old vinyl records—you name it. If you like treasure hunting, this is the place for you, but it's a place to buy more than just look (visitors who come to take photos instead of buying things are frowned upon). This bazaar is pretty basic, with rows of stands lined up on the grassy (sometimes muddy) field.
