This sprawling antiques and bric-a-brac market is well worth the trip to the western suburb of Koło. Vendors sell everything from chandeliers, furniture and paintings, to WWII relics such as rusted German helmets, ammo boxes and shell casings. Don't necessarily expect to find any bargains – serious collectors trawl the stalls and the vendors are a savvy bunch.
