Markets, fairs and bazaars in Wrocław
Bazaars, organic fairs and specialised markets flourish in Wrocław, as many of the city's residents simply prefer to do their shopping outside of the supermarkets. While some markets disappear in the city, they are soon supplanted with new, better and more interesting ones. Trade simply loves commotion and urban hustle.
