Personalised candies made in front of your eyes

Word to the wise: Ciuciu holds a free candy making demonstration every day from 1 pm to 5pm.

Calling itself the smallest candy factory in Poland, Ciuciu stocks hundreds of varieties of hand-made hard candies in a rainbow of colours. The recipe supposedly dates from the 17th century, but what makes this little shop so popular – especially with children - is that customers can watch their own personalized candy being made in front of them.

If you're loathe to bring home tacky souvenirs for friends and family, Ciuciu's a great option for unusual gifts.
