You can spend a lot of time looking for the clothes, shoes or other things you need in the Moldavian capital, so today, I will tell you about the most popular shopping centers in Chisinau, where you can find everything you need. They are comfortable and convenient for any activity starting from the shopping itself and ending with the entertainments and food. Shopping centers are placed almost in every district of Chisinau, but the most built up one is Botanica. There, you can find three shopping centers, that our residents find the most useful. 

Shopping MallDova - between two districts 

"Shopping MallDova" makes it possible to choose the wardrobe with style and spend your free time between the purchases by getting a lot of pleasure. On the first three floors of the center, you can find any type of clothes or accessories you need, and, at the end of your shopping, you may watch a movie or play bowling and diverse slot machines on its fourth floor. In addition, you can find there many restaurants and cafes that will surely satisfy your hunger. For example, in "Andy’s Pizza", you will have a possibility to try not only pizza or burgers but also the national cuisine. Of course, there are KFC and McDonald’s on the fourth floor, the food court to please children and fast-food lovers. Being a unique four-storey building, "MallDova" provides its customers with a wide range of goods and services, for example, a tailor shop, a pharmacy and a currency exchange. The shopping center is situated between the two districts, mostly standing in Botanica.
