Warsaw | Shopping | Shopping malls

If you can’t find it in Arkadia, you probably never will. Covering a total area of 287 000 m2 Arkadia stands out as the biggest shopping mall in Central Europe. The five floor leviathan contains everything you need to survive Warsaw, so it’s little wonder we know of people who spend their lives stalking around its corridors; approximately 45,000 – 70,000 people visit each day. It took three years of work to complete, and now houses fashion stores include Lacoste, Gant, Peek & Cloppenburg and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as ubiquitous high street chains like Zara, Espirit and Kappahl. A giant Saturn store takes care of all your electronic needs: from DVDs to sound systems. Carrefour takes a large chunk of the ground floor, though most expats are making a beeline for the first Mark & Spencers food department in the country. If you can’t find what you’re after in there then head to Kuchnie Świata. The shop is tiny but is home to everything from Marmite and Pirri Pirri sauce to Weetabix, Cadburys Chocolate and Dr Pepper. English language books are available from American Bookstore, and foreign press from EMPiK. Entertainment comes in the form of a 15 screen multiplex. Alongside some very decent dining options is the microbrewery Bierhalle. Serving homemade beer and plates of sausages, this is exactly the place to leave the other half where he will be delightfully happy for a few hours. Connected by 10 tram lines, 15 bus routes and with space for 4,000 vehicles.

Klif
The nationwide Klif chain have long been present in Warsaw, though if you think you’ve seen it all before then think again. These chaps have rebranded and re-launched with October 2008 refit resulting in the addition of new floors, an updated design and a thorough facelift. But as with all shopping centres the proof comes in the pudding, ie the tenants. Now on show are top tags from MaxMara to PennyBlack, as well outlets for casual faves like Paul & Shark. For the juniors watch for Blueberry, a shop selling kid-sized labels featuring the croc of Lacoste, Levi’s etc.
