Stop At: Grzybowski Square, Warsaw Poland
Warsaw was divided into many small towns by the end of the 18th century - a "jurydyk", whose owners decided about their character. Plac Grzybowski was established as the market of the Grzybów "jurydyka" in the 17th century, it was one of the first private production and marketing markets, and was located at the hub of the city. On his example, you can study how city squares work when they create a network of interconnectedness. Nowadays it’s a place which links centuries, architectural styles and cultures.

Old baker's shop with the best doughnuts in Warsaw. If Homer Simpson was a real person he would've dropped an American doughnut in favour of a Polish one because it's 4oz piece of heaven filled with yummy jelly or jam. Mmmm, doughnuts... Roughly 400 calories each!
