The most modern and popular
shopping centres
are the Surabaya Plaza (daily 10am-9.30pm) on Jalan Pemuda, and Tunjungan Plaza, Jl Jend Basuki Rachmat 8-12 (daily 10am-10pm) - and both places have branches of Toko Gunung Agung, which stocks English-language books; Tunjungan Plaza has designer outlets, and a branch of the well-known Batik Keris, which specializes in textiles and souvenirs. The Siola department store and supermarket, Jalan Tunjungan 1, is also good. For a more traditional shopping experience, try
Pasar Atum
, a two-storey concrete local market, packed with stalls selling pretty much everything; bemo M will get you here from the east end of Jalan Genteng Kali in the city centre. Other recommended
bookshops
include those at the
Sheraton Surabaya Hotel
and
Hyatt Regency,
which have the best selection of English-language titles in town, and
Gramedia,
Jl Jend Basuki Rachmat 95. Mirota, Jl Sulawesi 24, sells secondhand books, and it is also a great
souvenir
outlet for carvings, basketware, leatherwork, furniture, paintings, batik and silver. Sarinah, Jl Tunjungan 7, has a souvenir department on the second floor with a huge range of textiles, woodcarvings and assorted craft items. Lastly, don't miss Pinguin, at Jl Taman Naviton 45, a multi-room antique/junk shop and the most rewarding place for a rummage in Surabaya. Other useful information
