Centrum Handlowe Kraków
Solvay Park shopping centre first opened its doors to clients on the 6th October 2007.
The compact building is cut through with entry ramps. Its front side is finished with natural stone and three openwork portals – the main entrances on the side elevation – that emphasise the important axes of the centre. The key element of the interior is an atrium additionally lit by daylight passing through an open space in four levels of the building with escalators and panoramic lifts and a water composition of several levels
Internet HotSpot – available free for the centre’s clients.
Ernest Gaston Solvay (1838 – 1922) One of the most outstanding people in Europe at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, he was a Belgian industrialist, scientist and physics enthusiast who invented an industrial method of obtaining sodium carbonate, which he patented in 1861. The fact that the company he subsequently established with his brother Alfred expanded to Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, the USA and Russia within 15 years is the best proof that this was no banal invention. A branch of his company was also founded in Poland in 1908. But Solvay was not only interested in earning money. From the very first years of his industrial activity he was also a sponsor of scientific development. He supported young and brave scientists, encouraging them to cooperate despite their differences. He organised scientific conferences under his name, inviting lesser- and more well-known scientists. As an enthusiast of quantum physics, he organised a meeting of the most outstanding scientists in 1911: Einstein, Planck, Poincare and Curie-Skłodowska, encouraging them to cooperate for the betterment of world science. He established and was the head of the International Institute for Physics. ‘Solvay’ Sodium Plants are a part of Kraków’s history (although the Solvay company where had its seat in Warsaw and also owned cement plants and mines), and the have sponsored local amateur sports and, during the time of the Second Polish Republic, had their own sports club. And so the name ‘Solvay Park’, created in honour of this great European, is also a part of Kraków tradition – it is as connected with the city as the famous ‘lajkonik’, even though a bit younger! Moreover, in the vicinity of the centre stands the beautiful Solvay park.

Photographic exhibition at Solvay Park shopping centre in October.
The exhibition includes photographs of Solvay plants over the years, before the Centrum Zakopianka and Solvay Park were built. There are also photographs from the 1920s and photographs taken during the Pope’s visit to Kraków.
There will also be an exhibition of unique pictures taken by Marek Kamiński – a renowned traveller, explorer of polar regions, a man who reached both poles in one year, president of the Polish branch of The Explorers Club and founder of the Marek Kamiński Foundation which organises expeditions, supports exploration of the globe and organises help for children in need. Thanks to the Foundation, Jaś Mela was able to reach both poles.
The pictures that will be on display were taken during his most important trips from 1995 to 2007. There are photographs of Australia, wild Africa, the sights of South America as well as ice-bound places and areas covered with snow. Inaccessible, mysterious and charming lands. The world of our dreams. The world of happiness.
Amazing colours and natural light make their audience ask questions: is nature just what surrounds us, or is it a gift? And what do we do with this gift every day? The photographs will be presented in 100x130 cm; the examples below are only a foretaste of the real pleasure to come. Some of the pictures will be included in a 2008 calendar published by the Marek Kamiński Foundation.
On the shop floor of the Solvay Park centre, fashion reigns supreme. Here you can find shops with the best clothing brands and shoe shops, and at the centre – the Frappe Point café.
On the ground floor is a Media Markt. We can also buy sport equipment here, book a holiday or exchange money, buy comfortable shoes or eat lunch.
The lowest floor of Solvay Park has a separate entrance from the tunnel under Zakopiańska street and a car park for 48 cars. The main attraction here is the BOMI Delicatessen. Three panoramic lifts and an escalator will lead you up to the higher floors of the centre.
