Banks & ATMsYou can find several banks in Manufaktura and every Polish bank has its office in Piotrkowska Street. If you want to open a free student web-based account, try MultiBank (www.multibank.com.pl), Lucas Bank (www.kontostudent.pl) or BGŻ (www.bgz.pl). There are a lot of ATMs along Piotrkowska Street, a few in Manufaktura and Plac Wolności. The closest one to the Academy is next to the post office. |
Post officesThe closest one to the Academy is located in a tower block in Sporna St. There is only one post office operating 24/7, next to Łódź Kaliska station. |
ManufakturaA new commercial, cultural and entertainment complex, redeve-loped from a 19th century textile factory. With 27 ha, it’s one of the biggest of its type in Europe. Around the main square you’ll find restaurants, bars, cafeterias, shops, a cinema and an excellent museum of modern art; in the huge shopping mall there are do-zens of boutiques and a hypermarket. In winter there’s an ice rink, and any time of the year there are concerts and various cultural events. The city’s New Year’s Eve Party is held there. Because of the proximity to the Dormitory, you’ll visit this place a lot ;) Don’t forget to check out the art museum (ms2), Cepelia, Wedel’s chocolate bar, Pierrogarnia, Elektrownia, Stratosfera and many other places described in this guide. www.manufaktura.com/en Galeria Łódzka
A shopping mall located in 15 Piłsudskiego Av., one block away from Piotrkowska St. The mall organises some cultural events like fashion shows or bike trips around Łódź during summer weekends. On the top floor you will find cafeteria Italia with the best ice-cream desserts in the city. |
27/4 hypermarketsGenerally, hypermarkets are open from 7-8am to 21-22pm, but there are two Tesco 24/7 hypermarkets. One of them is located on the corner of Włókniarzy Av. and Pojezierska St.; you can get there with the bus line 99 or the night line N5 (you can catch the buses on Zachodnia St. near Manufaktura). Żabka shopsA chain of small shops with frog sign became very succesful in Łódź. We don’t recommend to do regular shopping there as it’s quite expensive. However, these shops are usually nearby and you can always go there if you forget to buy something to eat on time – Żabka opens from 6am to 11pm. Open air marketsThe biggest and most famous market lies near the Dormitory and is called Bałucki Rynek. It’s divided into two parts – the upper part is roofed, while the lower one still operates open-air. You can buy everything from food and clothes to animals and vintage stuff there. |
