Wroclaw

The residents of Wroclaw are generally quite health-conscious and like to shop for fresh vegetables, fruit and meat in covered markets, such as the beautiful and impressive one at Hala Targowa, a grand market hall showcasing some the best local products.

Perfectly located on the main market square, this shop specialises in Wroclaw-themed souvenirs, including photo albums, amber and jewellery, t-shirt, postcards, mugs, and even the traditional Wroclaw gnomes.

Located in the very Town Hall, Tajne Komplety is one of the city's finest bookstores with a great English language section, both fiction and non-fiction, as well as comic books, art books and even vinyl records. There is also a cosy cafe where visitors can sip a hot coffee while browsing through their new acquisitions.

This well-known shopping centre can be found right in the city centre and features about 100 shops, including fashion, accessories, home decor and electronics, as well as restaurants and a beauty salon.

This 212 metre tall skyscraper not only features apartments and office spaces, but also a number of restaurants, shops, cafes, etc. Here you can also find entertainment such as a 24-lane bowling alley and the biggest billiard club in the country.

Bielany Shopping Centre is yet another great shopping centre where visitors can find a wide range of stores and products, including Swedish furniture giant IKEA and a Tesco supermarket.

In the city centre near the train station you can find the Arkady Wroclawskie mall. Brands found here include Benetton and Marks & Spencer. You can also find a cinema and an aquarium on the premises.
