Galeria Bronowice

Cutting the ribbon in November 2013, Kraków's latest shopping citadel offers 150 shops, restaurants and cafes, including a Saturn 'mega-store' and sprawling Auchan super-hyper-giga-market, plus dozens of brand-name boutiques. Located north-west of the city centre, the vast shopping complex covers some 60,000 square metres next to IKEA, with 2,800 parking spaces. What separates it from Kraków's other shopping malls is GB's extensive entertainment, arts and culture offerings, which include a library, video game parlour, board game parlour, art galleries curated by the Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Museum, a branch of Teatr Groteska, a small indie cinema, interactive playground and much more, actually. To get there take bus 173, getting off at 'Bronowice Wiadukt.'
