Tip: don't go here with your mother. Or father. Or any person not capable of running a 5k marathon anymore because their thriving years of youth have left them weak and feeble. Seriously, (not)joking aside this place is ENORMOUS therefore prepare yourself for the amount of walking required... and the architecture not doing a thing to aid this. In fact, one of the malls main flaws lies in its sprawling floors versus sparse elevator/escalator points (you won't get lost but will find yourself frustrated at the architect regardless).
Shopping-wise this place is more or less agreeable. Has an entire floor dedicated to nothing but start-up brands and indie designer fashion (3d floor head up there immediately if you are into that sort of thing you will not be disappointed) alongside more affordable and common brand stores such as H&M and Zara.
Has a characteristically gigantic Auchan hypermarket as advertised. Various entertainment venues too.
Food court on the topmost floor (yet another architectural flaw) can be categorized into two groups either leaning more towards the fancy and pricey or the fastfood variety. Not bad persay but leaves room for improvement, a wider choice given the sheer size and scale of this shoppingcentersaurus.
Not easily accessible via public transportation but does offer free shuttles from the metro (see maps for closest).
All in all, this is only a worthy destination if you love big shopping centers.
