Small shops and cozy shopping streets are charming, but it’s often comfortable and convenient to shop for everything in the same place. Clothes for your children, luxury food for the party this weekend, a gift for your sister’s birthday, and a new charger for your phone. In addition, the malls have plenty of good restaurants, whether you fancy a luxurious lunch or a fast-food dinner.
In short, everything you need is under the same roof (even more perfect when it rains) – shops, services, restaurants, cafes, entertainment, and experiences. Some malls also offer gyms and other exercise facilities, spas, health care, and movie theaters. They simply make your busy life a little easier. Besides, it’s nice to stroll around and botanize in the large selection.
