Poland’s first mega mall, and dubbed the ‘city within a city’. In the centre of it all, a 26 metre fountain positioned under a giant glass dome. Covering an area of 218,000m2, the US$120 million project is home to 224 retail units. Trading since March 2004 the choice of shops includes specialist food stores like Piotr i Pawel (full of expat goodies), Asian House and La Passion Du Vin. EMPiK sell English books and press, and the ‘Home City’ section has 30 stores containing everything you need for house and home. Now, the fun stuff. Also housed in the mall is a skate park, and for younger mall rats the ‘Inca playarea’; a mini-funfair which apparently is meant to evoke the spirit of Treasure Island. Private medical center (Enel med) also onsite.
