When traffic lights change, a long group of people wait quickly. They look like an organized tourist trip or a fan trip to the stadium.

There are traffic jams on nearby streets. Unable to find a free parking space to leave the car. Many drivers have to look for a piece of free space for a long time. The bazaar, like a price magnet, attracts new buyers. According to many buyers, this is where you can make the cheapest purchases in Warsaw. Most products are three times cheaper than from sellers in local bazaars or in stores.
The rest can be bought for half the amount. The only difference is that most vegetables and fruits are arranged in boxes hastily placed on folding tables or coasters.
