Malls

Bucharest Mall

The Bucharest Mall, or ‘The Mall’ as it is often referred to, was Bucharest’s first western style mall, and with it you’ll experience exactly what you would in any other mall in any other country: expensive fashion outlets, fast food court, bowling, movies and people hanging out and being seen. Prices are top-end and often the same, or similar, products are available elsewhere for less.

The cinema is good, with comfortable seating, decent sound and ten screens, although naturally it’s more expensive than the city centre cinemas. The food court has everything you’d expect from McDonald’s to Romanian cuisine. It also has some gaming rooms, casino and a bowling alley.

There is a small children’s play area in the basement, a dry-cleaners, a Gima supermarket and an exchange office. Car park around the back.

55-59 Calea Vitan

Open: 10.00-22.00

Plaza Romania Mall

The Plaza is Bucharest newest and largest mall with many large-name brand stores represented. The cinema, as with the Calea Vitan mall’s, is modern and expensive. Not noticeably different from the Calea Vitan mall, except that it is situated in the west of the city, the former being in the east. Has all the usual facilities one would expect from a large modern mall, including another Gima supermarket.

26 Bd. Timisoara

Open: 10.00-22.00

Unirea Shopping Centre

1 Piata Unirii
Open: 10.00-20.00

This mall was the original Communist mall, the predecessor of Bucharest’s malls. Although the layout is not particularly ‘mall-like’ it is less pretentious and generally cheaper than its counterparts. This fact and its being located in the centre of the city, close to metro and bus routes, means it is still very popular with Romanians looking to buy goods rather than just hang out.

Jolie Ville Mall

This high-class mall is located in the rich north of the city and hosts many designer brands such as Versace, Max Mara and Boss.

103 Str. Erou Iancu Nicolae

The Grand Avenue
