I received a question from my regular reader, which of the shopping centers in Moscow is the largest?

By the way, there are about 300 entertainment and shopping complexes in the capital. Many amaze with their scale and amazing interior.

A difficult question, because several of them have approximately the same area - about 300,000 m2. These are Afimall City and MEGA Belaya Dacha.

Do not know where to spend time with benefit and pleasure?

Then carefully read about the most popular and largest shopping centers in the city and choose according to your taste. Retweets, reposts and likes are welcome!

At the beginning of 2018, the CSKA metro station will open within walking distance from the Aviapark. (Preliminary opening date - the end of February) Also nearby is the MCC station "Zorge".
In any case, the CSKA metro will become the "home" station for the shopping center.

Guide The Village: Five main shopping centers in Moscow

When huge shopping centers replaced Soviet department stores, it was obvious that they would fill the gap between expensive boutiques and Asian markets with cheap consumer goods. To find out what role they play in the city infrastructure today and how they differ from each other, The Village made a series about the main malls of Moscow.

"Okhotny Ryad"

Manezhnaya sq., 1, building 2

Far from the largest shopping center in Moscow, but perhaps one of the most visited. This is largely due to the good location - a stone's throw from Red Square. Okhotny Ryad, built in 1997, became one of the first shopping centers of a new type. The set of stamps presented in Okhotny Ryad is not much different from any other shopping center in Moscow. Except that many of them first appeared here.

"Afimall"

Presnenskaya emb., 2

Of the existing shopping centers within the Moscow Ring Road, Afimall is the newest and largest. After two years of operation, the six-story Afimall is still far from being occupied, although it has its own parking lot, kosher restaurants, fish fast food and frozen yogurt in the food court. The brands presented in Afimall generally repeat the standard set of a Moscow shopping center, but there are also stores that first appeared in Russia here: Banana Republic, American Eagle, H&M Home.

"Metropolis"

Leningradskoe sh., 16

Spacious and bright shopping center, where, despite not the most convenient location, it is impossible to find at least one unoccupied premises. There is the largest food court in the city and many entertainment options, including for children. Almost the most important street brands come to Russia with Metropolis, from the Swedish H&M to the British River Island and New Look. The mall itself is divided into atriums, which is explained by the very shape of the building - an irregular semicircle.

"Atrium"

Zemlyanoy Val, 33

The management company Ingeocom, which is currently building the central stadium in Sochi, built the Atrium in 2002. This shopping center is remarkable, first of all, for its location: it is located right on the Garden Ring. In addition to shops (including Uniqlo, Topshop, H&M and Zara), there is a nine-screen cinema, a standard set of food court outlets, a fitness club and even a children's theater.

"European"

Kievsky Station Square, 2

The first shopping center in Russia and the second in the world in terms of attendance: an average of 140,000 people come here every day. Here you can find a standard set of Inditex holding, chain stores for shoes, such as Aldo or Ecco, huge cosmetics, accessories, jewelry stores. Among other things, "European" is also a leisure place: there is a cinema, a skating rink, as well as a nightclub and karaoke with a hookah.

For the first category of buyers with a discerning taste, there are shops, boutiques and corners of the most famous world brands Mary Katrantzou, Vivienne Westwood, Carven, Folk, Edun, Kolor, All Saints, Maje, Sandro and Reiss.

But what is not found in other shopping centers in the city and what Tsvetnoy is so famous for is a farmers' market on the 5th floor, consisting of many rows, food stalls, groceries and confectioneries.

The habitual purchase of orange jam or ripe bulk apples turns into a real mini-performance with rich scenery and professional actors dressed as sellers.

After paying for the purchases, you expect to hear a standing ovation behind your back. Tsvetnoy's exclusive offer is the opportunity to cook any purchased product at the Antresol restaurant for free. Here, in the warm season, the terrace offers an incomparable panoramic view of Moscow.

Of course, it is unlikely that a family will gather in Tsvetnaya for Saturday shopping, but residents of the Central District often run into the department store for hot pastries, oriental sweets, fresh fish and real Vologda milk. And the best part is that food prices do not differ much from metropolitan supermarkets of the middle price segment.

A little about the shopping center "European"

When huge shopping centers replaced Soviet department stores, it was obvious that they would fill the gap between expensive boutiques and Asian markets with cheap consumer goods. To find out what role they play in the city infrastructure today and how they differ from each other, The Village continues the series about the main malls of Moscow. In the next issue - the shopping and entertainment center "European".

Letter

You see black squares instead of photographs because the management of the shopping center refused to provide The Village with any information, as well as photography, sending it to the editor next letter: “The “European” SEC does not support your decision to launch any discussion of our SEC on your resource that is not controlled by us (we have our own website, our own bloggers and PR specialists), therefore, the information you are interested in will not be provided and you will be denied photography.

In the event that your actions cause us commercial damage or damage the reputation of our center, we are ready to defend our commercial interests by all legal methods, including in court.”

Dear friends! If you like to travel around Russia and at the same time count your money, read the article about that, I have selected the best and proven sites. Read and return your money!

Story

Evropeisky, opened in 2006, once became one of the first places in the center of Moscow where the middle class could buy more or less decent things: it was there that TopShop, Zara, Marks & Spencer, Tara Jarmon, Massimo Dutti and about 40 Western marks. However, it is impossible to build a comfortable shopping experience on a single good sample, and in terms of a combination of factors, the shopping center concedes leadership to its competitors.

The Evropeisky building, designed by the famous Soviet architect Yuri Platonov (who, for example, is the author of Golden Brains, the building of the Russian Academy of Sciences), is a textbook example of Luzhkov's architecture. The building of the Kievsky railway station, standing across the road, looks girlishly fragile next to it.

And the shopping center itself, according to many experts, turned out to be simply awkward. If the main entrance is located directly opposite the metro, then the rest lead nowhere. But even this is not as embarrassing as the paid parking located on the fifth and sixth floors. By the way, "European" has been included in the ratings of the ugliest buildings in Moscow more than once.

However, Evropeisky remains the first shopping center in Russia and the second in the world in terms of attendance: an average of 140,000 people come here every day, only the Dubai Mall in United Arab Emirates. And during the annual Cosmopolitan Shopping Night, the mall breaks all records.

Due to the crowds of people randomly moving through its labyrinths, it can be uncomfortable to be here, especially on weekends. Such popularity is easily explained by the location: the city center, on the one hand - the station, on the other - the famous flower market, closed with the advent of Mayor Sobyanin and gradually spread to neighboring lanes. This largely determines the average visitor to the shopping center.

Maybe that's why the square in front of the "European" was chosen for the rally during interethnic clashes in December 2010. And on June 5, 2012, there was a resonant fight between people from the Caucasus and football fans.

Muscovites come here for the flagship Topshop and River Island, huge Zara, M.A.C. cosmetics, Kixbox corner, sportswear on the fourth floor. For some, "European" is also a leisure place: there is a cinema, a skating rink, as well as a nightclub and karaoke with a hookah.

Owners

"European" belongs to the company "Kyiv Ploshchad", founded by businessmen God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev - they take first place in the ranking of the most successful owners of commercial real estate by Forbes magazine. Childhood friends who grew up in the same village in Azerbaijan have been working together in Moscow since 1992.

Their first joint facility was the Electronic Fair on Rizhskaya, then they acquired 15 hectares on the Cherkizovsky market, in the early 2000s they opened the Moscow trade and fair complex in Lublin, then they bought the Ukraine Hotel, the Sadovod market from the capital's government ", and in 2002 began the construction of the" European ".

The annual income of the Kyiv Ploshchad company exceeds one billion dollars. In the list of the richest businessmen in Russia, according to Forbes, Zarakh Iliev ranks 35th, and God Nisanov is 37th.

Device

In "European" there is almost everything - it is a consumer paradise for the middle class. Here you can find a standard set of Inditex holding, chain stores for shoes, such as Aldo or Ecco, huge cosmetics, accessories, jewelry stores. However, European is trying to cover higher segments of the market. In addition to democratic brands, there are more expensive ones, such as Karen Millen and Fabi.

The mall also has space for a two-level Pret a Porter gallery, which unites boutiques of Alena Akhmadullina, Furla, Tru Trussardi, Patrizia Pepe, Lancel and other luxury brands. The gallery, unlike the rest of the mall, is almost always empty.

What do they say about Atrium?

When huge shopping centers replaced Soviet department stores, it was obvious that they would fill the gap between expensive boutiques and Asian markets with cheap consumer goods. To find out what role they play in the city infrastructure today and how they differ from each other, The Village continues the series about the main malls of Moscow. In the third issue - the shopping center "Atrium" on Zemlyanoy Val.

"Atrium" is a shopping and entertainment complex located on the Garden Ring, very close to the Kursk railway station, which adds spice to the surrounding shopping center areas. Many come to the Atrium, armed with the desire to watch a movie, for these purposes there is a nine-screen (though not very comfortable) Karo Film cinema. The “large selection of restaurants and cafes” turns out to be represented by a strong-smelling food court and Il Patio with Friday’s, which are always queued. But on the territory of the "Atrium" there is a fitness club and a children's theater, which not every shopping center can boast of.

Atrium is also notable for its environmental programs, for example, special bins for separate waste collection are installed here, in honor of which a 13-meter-high man assembled from ordinary plastic bags was placed in the atrium of the shopping center. At different times, the installations of the art group AES+F were located at the same place and the singer Santigold gave a concert. Speaking of music, the Follow Me radio plays throughout the mall.

Story

The management company Ingeocom built the Atrium in 2002, and is now building a central stadium in Sochi, where the main competitions will be held. The shopping center is located next to the Kursk railway station, which is being expanded this year, after which the objects may be even closer to each other.

Device

In terms of a set of brands that began promotion in Russia, Atrium bypasses many shopping centers in the city. The first Uniqlo was opened here with bargain prices for Japanese denim, Sia's Italian clothes, Kiehl's American cosmetics and much more were brought here for the first time. For some brands, the shopping center is still the only point of sale in the city.

Due to the modest footage, there are no flagships in the store - the largest brand stores with rare lines and a large assortment, but in the shopping center you can find stores of almost all popular mass-market brands: H&M, Zara, Topshop, Uniqlo.

The lease agreement in the Atrium is usually signed for five years, so there are no frequent openings here.

food court

The Atrium food court consists of the traditional set of components of any other large shopping center: several places with inexpensive burgers, fried chicken at KFC, pancakes with dozens of toppings at Teremka, sandwiches, salads and pizzas in places whose names are not worth remembering .

In addition to the food court, on each of the floors of the Atrium there are several separate cafes, which you won’t go to specially either: Chocolate Girl, Yolki-Palki, Il Patio, Friday’s, Coffee House. The most decent - Starbucks - is located on the first floor near H&M. In the same place, across the store from the coffee shop, Dunkin' Donuts used to work, now they sell underwear in its place.

An interesting detail about the third floor: here, on the territory of the cinema, there is the first Mövenpick cafe in Moscow, where they sell not only ice cream, but also other food.

Services

On the minus first floor there is a large grocery "Green Crossing", there is also a free children's theater "Courage" with interactive performances on weekends. There is an atelier, dry cleaning, shoe repair - all more or less necessary service areas. At the entrance to the underground parking, you can use the services of a car wash. Atrium also has its own eponymous fitness center with massage rooms and dressing rooms.
