The Kraków Cloth Hall (Polish: Sukiennice, pronounced [sukʲɛˈɲːit͡sɛ]), in Lesser Poland, dates to the Renaissance and is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town (the historic center of Kraków), which since 1978 has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
It was once a major centre of international trade. Travelling merchants met there to discuss business and to barter. During its golden age in the 15th century, the hall was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the east – spices, silk, leather and wax – while Kraków itself exported textiles, lead, and salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine.

his place only for tourists who want to buy national things. There are a lot of shops with amber. You can buy some present for someone and there is the cheapest price. Must to visit place. And underground is the museum with old tonels. I want to visit this museum at next time.

Wonderful museum experience. To be honest I visited on the national free museum day so I don't know if it's worth the price. Would visit again.

It's amazing experience being here. Lots of stores in there, BTW it's called cloth hall but not all shop is about clothing. There are many unique souvenir shops.

It's Interesting to browse through the stands, but there are a lot tourists. The place is always full.

Architecture of the building is beautiful with many fine details. The shops inside do mostly sell typical tourist souvenirs, but they are not overpriced, much. And if you take the time you can even find some interesting things like vintage pins or tableware.

A great place to wander around. The stalls inside are quirky and run by friendly people. The walls are painted beautifully. Very entertaining!

Loved the Cloth Hall. Such a beautiful building in the middle of the square. Check out the shops inside and the art gallery upstairs. Loved the art gallery since it was empty of people and you could relax with an audioguide. I did not go downstairs to an exhibition about Krakows history.

Great architecture and very impressive building. Nice market style shops inside. And obviously great location in the centre of the old town.

Today serves as a souvenirs market in the middle of nice old town square. One can buy a silver, amber jewellery, t-shirts, hand crafted souvenirs and more. It is worth to mention, that when Krakow was Poland's capital city the hall was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the East.
