Nice place with lots of shops, international brands, with foodcourt and cafes. Sometimes very crowdy. Unfortunately no more Sunday shopping.

Wow, so Galeria Kaskada is the main mall of Szczecin, Poland. It may also be the city's only mall. But that's not a problem because this place is almost like a city unto itself with lots of interesting things to do. There is a plethora of stores that never left me bored in the two and a half hours that I was here. I first spent money on a cappuccino. It cost 10,95 złotys and came from Tchibo, a store that appeared to sell coffee and lingerie within a few feet of each other. Then, I came across a clothing store where I saw a shirt that said "on my way to Seattle" for fifty złotys. Being actually from Seattle, I just had to nab this cool shirt. The bookstore is what really grabbed my attention. Seeing everything here in Polish was particularly fascinating, especially the movies and video games. It was interesting to see what selection they had in Poland. Curiously enough, their video games are more expensive. 279,99 złotys is a heavy price to pay for a new video game. At the bottom level of this mall, they have a grocery store with all the items you'd expect to find. They did display a sign that said no photography, but the place wasn't exactly a tourist attraction. It's really telling when a place can be appealing to foreigners and locals alike. I certainly haven't gotten the same vibe from every mall I've visited in the United States. read more
