These are, for example, “Metropolis” on the Voykovskaya metro station, “Golden Babylon” on Prospekt Mira, the VDNKh metro station, and “Evropeisky” on the Kyiv metro station. Each of them is good in its own way, and is quite suitable for a pleasant and productive shopping experience.
Rail Europe and by bus. If necessary (for example, to organize a shopping tour), we buy package tours on.
The small number of stores is explained by the large area of each of them, so only John Lewis rented an area of 3,000 sq. m. meters. Also worth noting is parking for 5,000 cars. The majority (almost 60%) is occupied by hotels.
However, having a retail area of 170,000 sq. meters, Westfield Stratford City is not one of the largest in the world. It is large only by European standards. After all, today few people can be surprised by truly large shopping centers. Most (including the largest) of them are located in the Asian region. The best shopping centers in Moscow boast areas of over 200,000 m2.
Here are the 10 largest shopping centers in the world, the area indicated is the area of the trading floors, not the entire establishment.

8. Istanbul Cevahir (sales area: 322,374 square meters, year founded: 2005)
Located in the European part of Istanbul, this shopping center is one of the largest in Europe. Within its walls there are 343 shops, 34 fast food restaurants, 14 exclusive restaurants, 12 cinemas (one of which is exclusively for children), a huge bowling alley and many entertainment venues of all kinds. The second largest clock in the world is also located here - each digit is 3 meters high.
7. SM Megamall (sales area: 348,000 square meters, year founded: 1991)
Operating since 1991, this shopping center is considered one of the largest in the Philippines. It is located in largest city state - Manila. It is estimated that SM Megamall receives approximately 800,000 visitors per day. The shopping center consists of two main buildings – buildings “A” and “B”. Moreover, the first contains more entertainment venues and fast food eateries, while the second houses the bulk of shops and elite restaurants. There are plans to expand this shopping center, which will allow it to become the largest in the Philippines.
6. West Edmonton Mall (sales area: 350,245 sq. meters, founded: 1981)
Located in the province of Alberta, Canada. This shopping center is the only one included in the rating located in the New World. Here you will find 800 shops and the largest indoor amusement park in the world. You can also visit an ice skating rink, a cinema, a bowling alley and a mini golf course. The shopping center parking lot can accommodate more than 20,000 cars.
5. Dubai Mall (sales area: 350,244 sq. meters, founded: 2009)
As is immediately clear from the name, this shopping center is located in Dubai, in United Arab Emirates. Although this is not the largest in area, it is the highest shopping center in the world. Here you will find 1,200 shops (including the largest candy store in the world), an ice skating rink, a bowling alley, a SEGA gaming center, a 5-star hotel with 700 rooms, 22 cinemas, and 120 restaurants and cafes.

4. SM Mall of Asia (sales area: 390,192 square meters, year founded: 2006)
This is one of the newest shopping centers - it began operating in 2006. To move around its huge area, special 20-seater vehicles are used. Of course, there are many shops here, but the main attraction is the IMAX theater with the world's largest screen. Ice skating enthusiasts will appreciate the Olympic-sized ice rink. It is curious that this shopping center was built on reclaimed land.
3. CentralWorld (sales area: 429,212 square meters, year founded: 1990)
This is the largest shopping center in Thailand. Unfortunately, in May of this year it was very badly damaged by fire (it was an arson committed during political protests held in Thailand in 2010), which could not be extinguished for several days. As a result, the center is still being restored, although it is partially accessible to visitors. For this reason, it makes no sense to talk about its attractions for now.
2. Golden Resources Mall (sales area: 557,418 square meters, year founded: 2004)
Located in China, this shopping center from 2004 to 2005 was even the largest in the world. However, things are not going well for him: initially it was assumed that at least 50,000 people would visit him per day. However, the cost of most of the goods presented here is too high for the average Chinese. At the same time, the rather large distance from Beijing discourages foreign visitors. As a result, shopping center traffic rarely exceeds 20,000 people per day. That, however, did not prevent the establishment from receiving the nickname “The Great Trade Center of China.”
1. New South China Mall (sales area: 659,615 square meters, year founded: 2005)
Located in the Chinese city of Dongguan, this largest shopping center in the world is also nicknamed “the world’s largest ghost shopping center.” The fact is that it clearly suffers from an acute lack of visitors. Its huge area is used only 1%! The remaining 99% are empty halls. Here you can find several shops and a couple of fast food eateries. New South China Mall consists of seven zones, each of which is stylized for a specific country.
Each of these shopping centers can easily be called a landmark of the places where they are located. And you can be sure that visiting any of them will be an event that will be remembered for a lifetime.
