Shopping means something else for tourists and for people who live in Gdańsk. In the times of globalization there are many shops that can be found in every European city and those are not the shops that tourist are looking for. The most important are the shops in which you can buy something that is characteristic for the Region.
In Gdańsk it is amber. The most beautiful street among all old town streets Mariacka is like one big amber gallery. Modern Baltic Gallery (Galeria Bałtycka) is like one big exhibition centre.
Advertisements and cultural presentations are held here on the floor which presents a marble map of the Baltic. In Gdynia we can enter a shopping centre resembling the transatlantic liner „Batory”. All shopping centres in Tri-City open their premises for the young people of Metropolis to hold their exhibitions. Tricity shopping may be one of the tourist attractions.
