Places like his are usually fullof junk- but this is surprisingly nice and hassle free, withina gorgeous building. Check before you buy- some wide variations in prices. And go up on the balcony to look out at the square if it is open

A nice local market right at the centre of the Main square. Would not recommend purchasing anything here as it would most definitely be overpriced. However, it is definitely worth a visit and window shopping is always fun!

I expected this hall to be a bit more upmarket. Instead it was selling all the tourist trappings that people take home and then wonder why they bought it.

This is the main building right in the square. Apparently it is the worlds oldest shopping mall. Inside there are loads of small kiosks/shops selling local wares such as amber jewellery, beads etc and tablecloths etc. Definitely aimed at the tourist. Had a quick browse but wasn't really inspired by any of it. However it is very large beautiful building.

My sister said my eyes opened wide when I entered the Cloth Hall.Shopping at its finest and in such a historical location and building. I enjoyed walking and seeing all the merchants had to offer.
