Sukiennice, or the Cloth Hall is right in the middle of the main market square. It’s a beautiful building dating from the 1500’s so it’s worth a visit to see the architecture and contemplate all of the buying and selling that’s happened here over the centuries.
In terms of merchandise, most of the stalls have the same stuff as you’ll find in souvenir shops in other parts of the city. Many of the vendors have the same or similar merchandise and prices are a bit high (understandable given the location). Still, if you’re after an «I Heart Krakow» tshirt or some amber earrings, they have you covered.
Also worth knowing about are the clean public toilets on the lower level. They’ll cost you a zloty or so but worth it.

Cloth Hall is essentially a one-stop shop for souvenirs. Don’t try to haggle with the market traders — they will cut you down with an icy glare! There are some interesting trinkets for sale here, but many stalls have the same stock, so if you’re looking for something unique, try elsewhere.

In 2013 Lonely Planet travel guides rated Kraków’s Main Market Square as the most beautiful in the world. It also happens be the largest market square in Europe. The 16^th century Renaissance Cloth Halls (Sukiennice) is at the heart of it, one of the icons of the city.
Walking through the Sukiennice you will find many small stalls selling traditional polish items such as amber jewelry, wood carvings, wool clothing and a few «I love Kraków» shirts as well ;) There is also «Café Szał» on the 1^st floor which you can get delicious (but slightly expensive) cakes and drinks, but the view of the «rynek» is worth it. While on the upper floor inside you will find a division of the National Museum which contains the largest exhibit of 19^th century Polish painting and sculptures along with several known masterpieces.
So just like in the middle ages, there is still a lot going on here at the Cloth Halls in Kraków.

We visited this place today and it consists of a huge number of vendors’ stalls inside a beautiful/long hallway, adjacent to the (huge) main square of the Old Town. The prevailing items for sale are amber jewelry (which I happen to love) and many touristic items, although everything was very colorful and nicely displayed. Most of the vendors were friendly.

Sukiennice, in the centre of Krakow is place where– if you want or do not really need it– you would find yourself — while waiting for your friend or meeting around Rynek.
There you can buy different type of souvenirs from Krakow and Poland, also you can have a look for artisans work like silver, amber, fabrics, wooden figurines. It is long hallway in the middle of Market Square with lovely archways being seen from all around the corners in the area.
There are painted emblems of historical families and nobles.
It is thing from medieval times… older than anything…:)
