About
Quick facts: With over 230 stores, the shopping center attracts around 50 million visitors annually. The impressive glass dome over the main promenade is one of the largest of its kind in the world and creates a light-filled shopping experience.
Highlights: At the heart of the shopping center is the spectacular "Flying Saucer", a round glass structure that attracts visitors and serves as a popular meeting point. The Centre also houses the original Hudson's Bay Company flagship store, which has been part of the local culture for decades.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the complex is large and can be explored on foot.
- Photograph the glass dome best in daylight, when sunlight shines through.
- Avoid weekends and holidays to prevent waiting times at popular stores.
- Use the nearby subway station for easy and stress-free access.
