Galeria Przedmiotu AB
On the northern side of the Cloth Hall, the shop sells beautiful everyday objects and affordable artworks.
Gorseletka
Gorseletka specializes in handmade corsets, made to measure. Old-fashioned and fancy as they are, these tailor-made undergarments can prove surprisingly comfortable.
Karmello
Likus Concept Store
Among the city's delicatessens, you'll find the best selection of international gourmet food and wine in the Likus Concept Store—but it comes at a price!
Massolit Books & Café
You'll find a selection of English-language paperbacks in most large bookshops, but for English-speaking readers, Massolit is the real thing. The converted apartment contains a little café that will tempt you with coffee and cakes, and several rooms filled to the brim with book-laden shelves offering endless browsing opportunities.
Naturalny Sklepik
This health foods store sells both food and a selection of natural cosmetics—local as well as imported.
Pracownia Kapeluszy
This hatmaker will take you on a journey back in time to the days when it was unthinkable for a lady not to own a hat—or several hats, for that matter.
Stary Kleparz
Fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, and meat can be found in Stary Kleparz, an open-air market with permanent booths and stalls just outside of Planty Ring.
Sukiennice
A statue of Adam Mickiewicz marks the eastern entrance to the Renaissance Cloth Hall, which is in the middle of the Main Market Square. The Gothic arches date from the 14th century, but after a fire in 1555 the upper part was rebuilt in Renaissance style. The inner arcades on the ground floor still hold traders' booths, now mainly selling local crafts and souvenirs—anything from amber jewelry, wooden chess sets, and embroidered tablecloths to Kraków-theme T-shirts and toy dragons. On the first floor, in a branch of the national museum, you can view a collection of 19th-century Polish paintings. The gallery was thoroughly renovated, and it reopened in 2010. Upstairs, a very pleasant Café Szał has an open terrace where you can sip your coffee while observing the busy life of the Market Square below.
