Your best and easiest bet for gifts in Kraków. Essentially the world's oldest shopping mall, this space in the centre of Kraków has been home to a trading hall since at least the 1300s. Given a 16th century Renaissance facelift, this architectural marvel boasts dozens of stalls selling amber jewellery, lacework, cloth handicrafts, wood carvings, sheepskin rugs and all sorts of Polish souvenirs and trinkets at prices that are actually more reasonable than you'd anticipate. The quintessential Cracovian shopping experience.
Cloth Hall
Open
Open 10:00-20:00.
Opening hours may be subject to change.

Hi I hope you can help me. I am looking for wooden figurines of Jewish men that are wooden and holding an instrument. I have a picture if that will help that my friend bought when he went to Krakow. i want to add to his collection but I have been looking and looking on the internet and can't seem to find them. I was hoping you can help me or steer me in the right direction. Hope to hear back from you. It would be greatly appreciated. It would make an old man very happy if he could get these.

Please find me the big (6cm) colourful Amber fairy (E46) I wanted to buy last month while there on a tour. It was at one of the first shops on your left as you enter at the right furthest entrance with St Mary's Bacilica behind you. It was on a silver choker but I wanted only the colourful Amber fairy pendent. I did bot take a photo but would love to buy it. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Elmarie from South Africa

Their prices are very high, in the surrounding streets there are souvenir stores with much better prices, also the merchants are so indifferent, non-polite, and even sometimes rude with the turists, not only I experienced it myself but I also witnessed on their behavior with others who were asking for prices and information on the products.

Hi Anna, It''s not official, but our sources tell us that the Cloth Hall will be open on Easter Saturday, CLOSED Easter Sunday, and open Easter Monday. On Saturday and Monday the hours are likely up to the vendors themselves, but those we were in contact with said they will be open Sat 10:00 - 18:00; closed Sun; open Mon 11:00 - 18:00. Probably most of the Cloth Hall will have similar opening hours.
Anna

Hi Ellie, About your comment on whether the Cloth Hall in Kraków is closed on Mondays, this is simply untrue. The shops on the ground floor of the Cloth Hall are open 7 days a week, and even on most holidays, with only a few exceptions. I think perhaps the info you got was regarding the 19th Century Polish Art Gallery; this museum (which is absolutely worth seeing) is on the second floor of the Cloth Hall, and closed on Mondays. The rest of the building is open on Mondays however, and will be on November 7th, including the shopping arcades, the first floor cafe (great views), and the Rynek Underground Museum, which is under the Cloth Hall.
Hi, I have been told that the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) is closed on Mondays. Is this correct? As we were looking to attend on November 7th 2016

Hi Heather, We couldn't officially confirm anything, but it is safe to assume that the Cloth Hall will be closed on Easter Sunday and Monday (March 27-28); otherwise it should be open as usual.

The building is open from 10:00 - 18:00 everyday (at this time of the year). The shops inside can open and close when they want to but generally they are open the same times as the hall itself
