SHOPPING

There are shopping malls, supermarkets and local stores in all big cities and smaller towns. Numerous souvenir shops are located in the streets of the historic old towns.
Among typical Polish products the ones worth recommending are:
– amber jewellery (made of amber from the Baltic Sea)
– articles of folk handicraft such as needlework or pottery (e.g. Boleslawiec pottery)
– Christmas and Easter ornaments (Christmas tree balls, Easter eggs, etc.)
– gingerbread cookies
– Polish chocolate (we recommend the Wedel brand)
– liquors: the most famous brands being Zubrowka (bison vodka) or different kinds of mead
These, of course, don’t close the list…
