Near Gate 6 in Terminal 1, Kraków Souvenirs is the obvious last stop if you forgot gifts in town. It sits airside after security, so you can duck in on the way to Schengen and non‑Schengen departures. The footprint is small but dense, with shelves of Polish-themed magnets, shot glasses, and printed T‑shirts all clustered near the entrance.
Most items sit in the 15–80 PLN range, with small magnets and keychains at the low end and embroidered textiles and wooden toys creeping higher. You’ll see plenty of Kraków skyline mugs, amber-style costume jewelry (not the high-end Baltic stuff), and fridge magnets labeled with “Kraków” and “Polska” in every color. It’s all fixed price, so no haggling or multi-buy bargaining here.
The shop keeps roughly the same hours as the main departures hall in Terminal 1, opening early for the first wave of LOT and Ryanair flights and staying open through late-evening departures to hubs like Frankfurt and London. That makes it a safer bet than landside kiosks if you’re on a 06:00 or 22:00 departure and still need something small. Staff usually handle card payments quickly, including contactless.
You won’t find serious local food products here beyond a few boxes of generic pralines and wafer candies, and there’s no chilled section for oscypek or regional sausages. If you care about authenticity, stick to textiles, wooden toys, or simple ceramics with Kraków scenes rather than anything “amber” that’s under 50 PLN. One tip: take 5 extra minutes to compare similar designs across shelves; the same mug or magnet often appears in three price points depending on size and finish.
