Bergen Storsenter is a good shopping center in Bergen, Norway. Not a large mega mall, but it is…read morenot tiny either. Fine mix of retail shops ranging from grocery stores to snack kiosks to clothing shops to pharmacies, and everything in between. Get ready to pay more than in the United States. Norway is an expensive country to live in. Clas Ohlson and Meny were my two favorite stores here. My only complaint would be the tight parking spaces. Be very careful when opening your vehicle's doors. Overall, though, Bergen Storsenter is a nice place to browse and pick up a few items.

Esthetically speaking, Bergen Storsenter is not beautiful, but this multilevel mall area is a nice…read moreplace to escape any potential bad weather you may find in Bergen (since it rains a lot here) and maybe grab a quick lunch or buy something you didn't know you needed. The stores here are the same as you'd find in any mall I've been to in Norway so nothing really impressed me or wow'd me in terms of variety, but it was easy to navigate around and was overall pretty clean. In keeping with Norway traditions, keep your 10 Kroner on you so you have it ready in the event you need to use the restroom. It's connected to a Ton hotel which is convenient if you're a guest there. Honestly, nothing really blew my mind here. I stopped in because I had an entire day in Bergen and the city is pretty small so eventually you just find yourself at places. Okay overall, but there are so many beautiful sights to see here in Bergen that if you're a tourist you don't need to rush here.

On Torgallmenningen in Bergen city centre, you can't avoid to see Moods of Norway's store,…read morefeaturing i.e. a large, golden tractor, representing their logo and well known distinctive mark. The atmosphere in the store is relaxed and nice, and the proper dressed employees are welcoming and helpful. There is however something about this brand, that was fun, playful and represented something new in the beginning of Moods of Norway's success story, that hasn't been very appealing to me the later years. They still have items from time to time that I like, but it is not one of the stores that I find necessary to visit looking for something new. This weekend I dropped by with my friends and found that they have quite cute kids wear, so maybe I'll find a few presents in the future.

We found a LOT of cute baby and toddler gear at Småting. I could've bought the entire store if I…read morehad the money to do so. I originally wanted to visit because I had read they carry Lucky Boy Sunday dolls here; they had a few which were very cute but expensive. Many adorable children's backpacks, bags, dishes, cups, baby and toddler toys, books, etc. We bought Pippi Longstocking picture books here for our nieces, along with some Elsa Beskow printed sippy cups. Lots of high quality, adorable toys to indulge in. This was my favorite children's store we saw while visiting Scandinavia. The people who work here were very sweet and gift wrapped our presents free of charge.

If we had TGR in America I would be spending all my hard earned coins here on things I truly don't…read moreneed, so I'll have to stick with spending all my Kroner on things here in Norway! TGR is, in the simplest of terms, a discount store, which fears hundreds of different items you may (or may not) need. For me, it was the cheapest place to find those little things you may have lost or forgotten on vacation- ear buds, lip balm, facial tissues, and things of that nature. Ear buds were $5 USD in comparison to the $20 USD I saw everywhere else. They have toiletries, toys, candies, beverages, and so much more and for having so much inside, it's amazingly organized by these lovely employees who smiled and were in such a good mood while working! I was able to get what I needed, and maybe a few more items and be on my way quickly. I would have bought more, but my luggage can only hold so much, but now I know where to go next time I'm in town.
