It's the big department store at the corner of Krasińskiego and Zwierzyniecka that was built in…read more1969 during the Soviet era. It's not the prettiest building ever. In fact, it kind of looks out of place compared to everything else in the area with its brutalist architecture. The entire building needs a face-lift, yet this store is popular because it's practical. My husband needed a personal handbag to carry his CPAP machine onboard the plane. There was no better place to go than Jubilat. It was conveniently located nearby, and just around the corner from our hotel. There is a grocery store on the ground floor with a deli and bakery. There were all kinds of Polish goods available. We were directed to the upper floors by a security guard when asking where we could find luggage. We ended up on the 3rd floor. There were many types of bags including backpacks. He found what he needed. It was a quick & affordable purchase. The actual store is very old school and traditional. It really does feel like you're stepping back into a different time period. Despite all of that, it was a cool experience.

They sell new products, but the architecture of the building reminds about it's legacy. It has four floors, there is a food supermarket and an alcohol store on the ground floor. On the rest of the floor various things are in stock - clothes, furniture, electronics - you name it. It's located 5 minutes form the town centre and has a very small shared parking. It is also very expensive and has poor cutomer service, due to the fact that the management doesn't seem to understand the importance of it. There are also conference facilities and a gentlemens club at the top floors. The best thing is that the ground floor supermarket is open 24h.

It's very close to the city center. I would say the only drawback is that because of the train, it is constantly busy, it almost had an airport feel with lots of people hurrying around with suitcases.

Inside the small is the largest grocery store I have ever seen. The store was like a giant Walmart without all the welfare people. Wait it was like a giant Walmart superstore without all the Chinese crap. I think I posted a bunch of pictures, if I didn't I will post them now. I want to move here so I can shop here every day. They had rows and rows and rows of food, dairy, hot foods, sausages, gorgeous looking fruits and vegetables, 1000 kinds of beer and liquor, anything you could possibly need to, they have it. The prices were pretty good. Everything in Poland is inexpensive compared to the United States so I can't really compare the prices to other stores in Kraków but only to my perception of value which was excellent. Interesting little tidbit you have to stick a coin into the shopping cart to get it loose from the rack and then you get it back when you put it back in the rack.

What impressed me is how clean the public areas were especially on the upper level. There's even a stationary bike charging station for your phone which was fun. This mall is a bit south of the tourist area but convenient if you are in the Kazimerz area (and of course the trams/buses go there too).

There is an American-themed restaurant, Jeff's, where you can enjoy live music at weekends. Also upstairs (in another wing of the mall) there is Grycan for various ice cream desserts, coffee etc.

Factory is an outlet mall located just outside of Kraków. Obviously, it's not a real factory…read moreoutlet. You'd need to be in China or Bangladesh to find those. It's simply a regular mall whose main draw are large discounts. Very roughly, I would say, around 10% of the products offered here are discounted while the remaining 90% are priced regularly--that is, with a modest discount off an artificially inflated list price. To find the real bargains, you have to hunt for them. Last week, I managed to find a couple shirts for 30 zł each and a nice ceramic blade for 50 zł, which normally sells for 80-90 zł. Personally, I like the Desigual and Reserved shops. Most things at Desigual are way too expensive for my taste but there are usually a few items that are attractively priced. Meanwhile, as Reserved is a domestic brand, prices are usually fairly reasonable to begin with. When discounted the clothes here can be real bargains. The designs are pretty trendy as well. It's a way to dress fashionably at an affordable price point without being clad head to toes in H&M gears. I'm also rather fond of Dajar Home & Garden. It sells many tools of the kitchen at eye-opening prices. When I was there last it was selling a non-stick ceramic-lined wok for 59 zł. Normally, it costs close to 200 zł at a regular shop. As I have a very nice wok already, I ended up walking out with a very nice knife. Factory is worth an occasionally visit. By car, it's pretty easy--there're plenty of parking spaces. By public transportation it's hard to reach, as it's outside the reach of normal buses and trams. The aglomeracyjne buses take you there, but they're pretty infrequent and you'd still need to walk quite a bit. The free mall buses are probably your best bet if you don't have a car. They operate in two lines, one going to Nowa Huta and another to Rondo Matecznego, with stops in between. You can find the schedules at the website.
