Manufaktura in really short time became, along with Piotrkowska Street, the business card of the city. Today it is hard ti imagine Łódź without Manufaktura. The Centre became one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. Manufaktura consists of museums, cinemas, discotheques, over 250 boutiques and shops and several dozen restaurants. Its central part, however, is an over 3 hectare big market square, which serves as an open public space. The cultural and entertainment events organized there attract not only the citizens of Łódź, but also the tourists. The market square also has its attractions – the longest fountain in Europe and brilliantly designed relaxation spots.
