Forum Gdansk, Gdansk

Forum Gdańsk, commonly referred to simply as Forum, is a contemporary shopping and entertainment hub in Gdańsk. This modern complex, opened in 2018, stands on the historical grounds of Hay Market (Targ Sienny) and Crayfish Market (Targ Rakowy). Its establishment has revitalized an area that lies directly opposite the Upland Gate, marking the entrance to the famous Royal Way. Initially named Forum Radunia, the mall pays homage to its heritage.

The Forum isn't just a shopping destination; it's a multifaceted complex that includes a range of facilities. Anchoring the development is the shopping mall, featuring an array of stores and eateries. Additionally, the complex boasts a Helios cinema, occupying a substantial portion of the upper floor, a gym & fitness center, public parking facilities, a medical center, and a newly created public square. This square is particularly noteworthy for offering stunning views of Gdańsk's Old Town, enhancing the visitor experience.

The architectural design of Forum Gdańsk is predominantly modern, with the Radunia canal channel flowing through it, creating a distinctive feature that sets it apart from conventional shopping malls. The exterior of the complex reveals its expansive and intricate nature. Inside, the mall is thoughtfully divided into three zones, each boasting its own unique design and ambiance. This thoughtful layout and the inclusion of various amenities make Forum Gdańsk not just a shopping destination, but a significant urban renewal project and a vibrant community space.
