#SHOPPING
Soho Fashion Market
There are plenty of these before Christmas, but the Fashion Market in the gentrifying post-industrial space of former motorcycle factory in Praga is definitely among the biggest and best. Up-and-coming brands, cutting-edge design, dozens of designers to choose from… a fashionista’s paradise, to put it simply. Be sure to visit the Neon Museum before/after! And if you get hungry, stop by building 19 (former munitions factory) for a slow food market!

It’s an enthralling journey through the history of the struggle of the people of Warsaw for independence. Free of charge on Sundays!
