You can find markets\u00a0in cities like Paris, Barcelona, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/london\/5-top-london-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London<\/a>.\u00a0My husband and I traveled\u00a0to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Warsaw.d178317.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warsaw<\/a>, Poland in August 2016 and visited the Targ \u015aniadaniowy or \u201cBreakfast Market.\u201d It was one of our favorite days during our <a href=\"https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/features\/new-expedia-viewfinder-blogger-lauren-lebrun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">year long backpacking trip<\/a>. Here\u2019s why we loved it so much.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to other markets in Europe, the Targ \u015aniadaniowy has tons of vendors selling a variety of local dishes. We walked around the stalls and found fresh vegetables, homemade cheese, and lots of desserts. One of the treats we found was the traditional Polish dish called &#8220;racuchy.&#8221; It looks\u00a0like an apple pancake. Vendors make the dish by rolling apple slices in flour, dipping them in a thick batter, and frying them in oil to make them nice and crispy. Then, it&#8217;s\u00a0topped with powdered sugar and fresh berries. It was so tasty! Stop by the Vegushka stall at Targ \u015aniadaniowy\u00a0for some of the best racuchy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Viewfinder Tip: Ask the market vendors about their favorite dishes to learn about the local specialities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to tasting delicious food, European markets are also a fun way to spend a weekend afternoon. We went to the market with three of our friends and we had a blast. After we walked around the stalls and picked out food, we put a picnic blanket on the grass and ate our lunches. It felt so nice to sit outside and enjoy a lazy day in the sun. We want to do it again soon!
