 ul. Mariacka with display
cases of Amber by Ekaterinburg
After browsing through every amber display case in ul. Mariacka and suffering from the usual crippling inability to make my mind up, I finally purchased in one of the shops on the Long Embankment. At that stage it was almost in desperation BUT I finally chose a ring that Iliked and went home well pleased with myself. It's a beautiful ring 'sreberna i burstynova' (amber and silver if my memory is correct, or even partially correct) but later that evening when I tried it on, it just slid straight off myfinger. Obviously my hands were swollen in the extreme heat and I had bought the wrong size. Four months later I have still not brought it to a jewellers shop to be altered but Iwill do it before Christmas and then it will be an extra present to myself.
You can spend a vast amount on the really large items but I paid EUR50 for a ring that would probably cost at least EUR100 here. Theme: JewelryAddress: The Long EmbankmentDirections: Alongside the river, near the Green Gate.

The amber is up to the brim and overflowing all over Gdansk. There are so many versions of necklaces and earrings, it is impossible to look at all of them. The quality of the "street" jewelry is of course not terribly good. It's OK, but if you want to find some really well designed amber jewelry, step into one of the shops with the better grade of craftsmanship. You are sure to find the color, size and shape you are looking for. Prices are still about 1/3 less than you would spend outside the country. Leave a Comment Theme: Jewelry

Don't go to the first one in the street :-) Take my advice and go to the one of better hairdressers in the 3-cities. This one is a specialist and have best students in the profession. What more... they speak English so you will not feel lost :-).
You can do with your hair whatever you wish. They are proffesionalist and use good products. They also will help you to choose something good for yourself :-)
Remember to call before you come! The best hours are aroung noon. They work from 10 to 19:00, but in the afternoon there are a lot of people :-D.

Madison shopping mall (Galeria Handlowa Madison) is the only shopping mall located in downtown Gdansk (parking lot: the first 2 hours free ) open Mon - Sat 9.00 am - 9.00 pm and on Sun 10.00 am - 2.00 pm. It contains many shops on 4 floors and a food court on the ground floor. I liked its modern, a bit artistic, design and good air-condition (in many other Polish supermarkets and shopping malls their owners save on aircondition in summer).
From a visitor's point of view it's a good place for doing budget shopping: postcards, travelbooks, maps, small gifts, camera equipment (batteries, memory cards etc.), food and eventually (it takes much time) clothes of various Polish and well known European and world companies at both high and low prices.
Many cloth shops are expensive as for Poland but they offer good quality clothes! Many of them offer good deals as well (look for dicounts).

I have seen a few street stalls which sold books on main walking street of the Old Town (Dluga Street) and at the Solidarity Square. The Rosner and co. publishing company sold CDs and books on Solidarity movement.
I've bought a book on Solidarity Movement on street stalls run by "Rosner i Wspolnicy" (Rosner and co.) publishing company at the Solidarity Square.
The book titled "Who let journalists in here? 25 years later" (Kto tu wpuscil dziennikarzy? 25 lat pozniej) contains 45 unpublished till now reportages of journalists who where let in the Gdansk shipyard during strike in August 1980 - the reports were recording on tapes during the strike. It's fascinating to see how much the journalists were first surprized, then amazed when they saw the space of freedom in the shipyard that time. Most of them underline that they left Gdansk as different people, these 2-3 weeks changed their minds forever. There is a lot of text to read on 397 pages but many black and white pictures, too.
The book is sold together with a CD "Polish August - radio reportage of Janina Jankowska" (Polski Sierpien - reportaz radiowy Janiny Jankowskiej) - this fascinating and enthusiastic reportage was broadcasted on 28th August 1981 at 10.00 pm by first programme of Polish radio (uncensored that time) and won Prix Italia in 1981. Both the book and CD is sold only in Polish language version, and the next bad news: the publishing company internet shop does NOT ship the book abroad :-(.
About 30 zl (€ 9). Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: Plac Solidarnosci (Solidarity Square), GdanskDirections: Walk north of the old town (20 - 30 min). First drive main, through street northwards, when you pass by the old town (on right) do NOT turn left towards Gdynia but drive straight to Solidarity Square, turn left at the end, parking (free) on right.Website: http://www.riw.pl

This relatively small bookstore (ksiegarnia in Polish), located a bit off the beaten path in the Old Town, offers great variety of books mainly in Polish language.
From visitor's point of view: maps of Gdansk, travelbooks on Gdansk and various vocabularies (incl. English- and German-Polish).
Approx. €2-3 per map and 2-3 times more for a travelbook. Pocket English-Polish vocabulary cost approx. €4.
