Local markets in Masuria are the heart of the local economy — fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats, crafts.
Morning best selection
Markets start at 6-7. At 10 the biggest offer. After 12 sellers leave. Photos and good atmosphere until 9.
What to buy
Seasonal vegetables and fruits at fractions of shop prices. Long-matured cheeses. Beekeeping honey. Dried herbs. Artisan pastries.
Negotiations
Sometimes OK, especially for larger quantities. Don't haggle over 20 cents — offensive. Smile + positive relationship = better price.
Cash
Small change — few have change for 50 EUR. Cards rarely. ATM near markets.
