#GARAGE SALE
Meander the nooks and crannies of one of the nicest Warsaw neighborhoods on a shopping scavenger hunt!
Saska Kępa, a lovely pre-war neighborhood in Praga, is organizing its annual garage sale – roam the side streets along ul.Francuska (French street) to discover stalls filled with pottery, clothing, jewellery, typewriters… anything, really! (It’s a garage sale, after all). Once you’re done, head for one of the many cafes along Francuska for a well-deserved break. Our favorite bar is a little farther away at ul. Zwycięzców 49, while French fries at Francuska 33 are famous citywide!
Where: Wyprzedaż garażowa na Francuskiej (Garage sale on Francuska street)
