Things to do in Nowy Targ

1. Thursday Market

   • Nowy Targ, Poland
   • Shopping › Market

   Nowy Targ's best-known attraction is the Thursday Market, which has been held here for more than five centuries after the king granted the town the privilege in 1487. But nowadays it's full of mass-produced consumer goods; if you're looking for more traditional items such as hand-knitted sweaters and carved wooden utensils, wait for Zakopane. The market is held on Plac Targowy, a few blocks southeast of the Rynek and facing the Biały Dunajec River.
