Old Town: Old Town Gifts Review

Old Town is home to dozens of little shops and individual merchants selling art, jewelry, souvinirs, books, antiques, etc. Though nowhere near as jammed with shops as the old city in Krakow, there are still quite a few places to browse around here. Like other places I shopped in Poland I was pleased to find that the merchants are not pushy at all, so you can feel free to slowly peruse their wares at a casual pace. Old Town is a good place to shop for gifts and souvinirs for yourself, and it was the only place where I could find a Polish soccer (sorry, football) jersey for my young son.

Bazaars: Outdoor market south of Sadyba Best Mall Bazaars Review

Immediately south of Sadyba Best Mall is something you don't typically see right next to a big modern shopping mall: A thriving outdoor market. I don't know what the name of this market is, but it is full of little shacks selling nearly anything you can imagine, including toys, underwear, deli meat, vegetables, fruit, shoes, and...well...like I said, just about anything.

Malls: Sadyba Best Mall Malls Review

Sadyba Best Mall is a pretty good sized mall in the Mokotow district right on the 172 bus line. Inside you'll find plenty of typical mall-type stores selling everything from toys to clothes and everything in between. Prices seemed a bit higher than average but still reasonable compared to the US or Western Europe. It also has a big IMAX theater on the southeast corner.

Malls: Galeria Centrum Malls Review

Located just to the east of the Palace of Culture and Science, Galeria Centrum is primarily a clothing store but also has a decent toy department and the typical first-floor selection of cosmetics and perfume. Prices are a bit above average for Waraw but still reasonable compared to the United States or Western Europe.
