There are two big shopping malls in Osijek: Portanova and the Avenue Mall; a bus runs from the city center to both of them. Bustling Županijska street in Gornji Grad is similar to a smaller-scale version of Zagreb's Ilica Street with its independent boutiques, shops, and trams.
This bustling daily market is a super local and authentic place to buy Slavonian delicacies such as cottage cheese, bags of paprika and other spices, elderflower syrup, fresh produce, baked goods, and all manner of smoked meats, including the famous kulen. Around the periphery, there are clothing stalls and a couple of bakeries and cafés, too. The market is held daily from 7 am until around 3 pm.
