Cloth Hall


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.

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.
