Galeria Krakowska


Krakow's premiere haven for shoppers comes in the form of a state of the art, gigantic shopping centre located adjacent to the city's Main Train Station. The complex was barely finished at the tail end of 2006 when it became a favorite of shoppers both visiting and living in Krakow. And no wonder - its 270 stores offer a vast selection of everything from fashion to gadgets to high-end grocery shopping, while its prime location right next to the Old Town make it a convenient place to stop for a quick shopping fix.

Galeria Krakowska

"A very good shopping centre but I wish the security guards would spend less time chatting up women and pay more attention to dealing with the beggars who come round the first floor meal tables, pestering when one is trying to eat. This is totally unacceptable and I came close to losing my temper with one of the begging parasites."

"Galeria Krakowska is a monstrous concrete and plate glass bunker which intrudes and imposes upon the Austro-Hungarian period Main Railway Station. This gallery of kitsch, escalators and muzak is also replete with "Galerianki", girls who hire their bodies in return for consumer goods. Galeria Krakowska is also full of garish light, meaningless promotional stunts, overheated air conditioning and doltish consumerbots who mill around in awe without even buying anything. Oddly, the sliding glass entry door has a list of symbols prohibiting varuois activities. One is taking photos ( why ?) and the other is carrying a hand gun. "

"It is much bigger, better and a lot cleaner than most of the malls back in the UK. Some things are a bit more expensive, like electrical goods, but I found a few bargains in there. Would be great if it had a cinema!"

"For anyone who lives in the UK, this place is "like" Cribbs Causeway - only waaay better! Bit big, bit confusing when you try to go to the toilet and find your friends again - everywhere looks the same! Some good shops, and omg GORGEOUS ice cream stand on the bottom floor, 2.20 zlotty per scoop; usual suspects such as vanilla, mint choc, but also smerfy (which is bubblegum flavour and well nice) banana (which is quite sickly and has an odd lip-balm taste to it) but still very nice. Like I say, a wide selections of shops at fairly reasonable prices ;-) and a very cute guy in Dichmann's shoes"

"We shopped our Canadian hearts out. My family and I were in Krakow last month and we truly had a blast shopping in the mall. Lots of things that we wouldn\'t find in Canada for the prices we paid in Krakow and lots of variety too. Thank you From Halifax, Nova Scotia"

"I travelled to Poland recently and stay in the beautiful city of Krakow. Myself and my Polish girlfriend, Ilona, decided to shop in the Galeria and it was an amazing experience. Everything imaginable was there and even when I got tired (as men do) and Ilona had the energy to keep on shopping, I could relax in one of its bars, chill out and have a drink. This is a must for every shopping centre, specially for the guys. We made an agreement she could continue shopping as long as she wanted but she knew that the longer she shopped the more I drank. I couldn't believe the size of this shopping centre as I was led to believe Dundrum Town was one of Europe’s biggest. The Galeria must be twice this size. Anyway we had a great time and I got very drunk!!!"

"There's a great place to lunch - right in the middle of the Galeria there's loads of red seats with cracked-glass-effect tables where they serve yummy toasties (£2) and the most fantastic ice cream dishes(£3)- the perfect tonic for a tough day of shopping! The Apart upstairs has some really nice jewellery at great prices! Carrefour is great for food shopping! As a result this makes the Galeria Krakowska the best in Poland!"

"The best part of Galeria Krakowska is that it's open late (for Polish standards) - til 10 pm every night (just the shops, the centre itself stays open til 11 pm!) except Sundays til 9, which means those of us that work late can still get our shopping done in the evening! Now if only someone would open a 24 hour shopping centre in Krakow..."
