Shopping in Cracow
Old Town Kleparz - formerly wood suburbs of Cracow. Townsmen had here their village houses where they were coming during summer’s sweltering heats. It was also famous of horse market. Nowadays Kleparz is also famous of market, because there is a huge bazaar where you can buy traditional polish products: cracowian sausage, cold cooked meat, cheeses, mushrooms, sweets, fruits and vegetables and everything what you cannot find in big trade centres. You wil get there from Slawkowska street which leads from the Main Market Square. I invite you to do some shopping. If you need any advice just write me anita@cracow-guide.net
