This is another place that has been around since medieval times. It's more of a farmer's market with fresh produce, meats, baked goods, flowers, plants, coffee, wine, and tapas type food. It's just outside of the Old Town city walls near the Barbican in the Kleparz district. I didn't see as many tourists venturing out that way. Although, there were people visiting the Grunwald Statue. It's a great spot to visit when looking for more of the local flavor. I was totally impressed with the selection of beautiful berries and mushroom varieties. The gooseberries looked especially nice. Everything was very well-presented. It's an open air market that is covered. It's actually quite shady as you walk through it. There are ATMs outside in case you need to pay in cash, but many vendors except cashless payments. I really love that it has more of an International mix of products. There are Italian, Greek, Ukranian, and Spanish vendors as well as Polish. The freshly dilled whole pickles in the wooden barrel were very enticing as well as the bakeries. We really just stopped to get a bottle of water on our way to a resraurant nearby. They really do have it all here. I'd shop here weekly if I lived in Kraków. They are open daily with extended hours on the weekdays (6am to 6pm). It's totally worth a visit. read more

'Stary Kleparz' needs no advertising. Not only is it a food market, it's also a place for the community to shop, meet and enjoy culinary pleasure as well. You'll definitely cross every item off your grocery shopping list, if you have one :). If not, this is the perfect location to satisfy your appetite for local, unique products and more. I have my favorite guy there who sells 'oscypek'. 'Oscypek' is a smoked cheese made from salted sheep's milk exclusively in southern Poland. His products are always great. Even though I've never bought anything from him except cheese, the cured meat he offers always looks fresh and appetizing. I'm not mentioning the freshly killed poultry. This is a bit too much for me. 'Stary Kleparz'/Old Kleparz is an interesting spot to observe a lively part of the city. Saturday is the best day to visit. Have a coffee, or a glass of wine. It's such a pleasant way to relax and watch. One more thing. When it's busy, remember to secure your valuables. At some point my backpack was unzipped and the additional pocket had also been opened. Luckily the falafel I bought was still there. Just saying. read more

This market is nice especially if you're a local. However, when you can observe much of the food products (not all) left out with flies all over along with pigeons walking and flying about. I don't seem to have an appetite. They do offer wifi in the market however, from what I observed not a single person accepts credit cards. If you have a sweet tooth like me you'll enjoy what you see. read more

A lot of nice fresh produce, as well as other things for sale. Definitely worth checking out!
