Warning to Parents - Mall of Scandinavia (Solna)…read more I want to share an incident that may be important for other parents with small children. In baby lounge, my child was injured when she fell. There is an alarm button in the space, which I pressed. The alarm began sounding loudly, but for approximately eight minutes no staff came to the location. After waiting about eight minutes for someone to arrive, while my child was crying hysterically after hitting their head, I was forced to take my child to medical care myself because no one from the shopping center's staff ever came to help. During this entire time, the alarm was sounding loudly in the children's feeding area. I am writing this so that other parents are aware that visible safety features do not always mean that help will arrive within a reasonable time.

Mall of Scandinavia is the largest mall in Sweden and the third-largest in the Nordic countries…read moreafter Sørlandssenteret in Norway and Sello in Finland, the latter is only 952 meters squared larger, however - so it is rather close. Being in Solna, it is in Stockholm County so you can still use your SL pass to get here via the train or metro, I would, however, recommend the train due to the close proximity of Solna Station compared to the metro which is a much larger walk (it involved going under a bridge which no GPS seemed to be able to navigate causing me to get lost for over half an hour) - of course Solna Station is quicker by commuter rail too, just seven minutes into Stockholm City station. The mall is quite new as it opened in 2015 and it still feels pretty modern in most areas - I do like the flat escalators to get from the entrance and car parks up and around the mall which is more accessible for anyone and I really do prefer them to escalators and find them to be highly underrated and underused. The mall is huge being over three floors - there is even a confusingly named floor "0.5" which can only be accessed through one lift - getting to this could be better. Floor 0.5 provides access into the Friends Arena, home to AIK and the Swedish national football team which is a stone's throw away, directly across from the mall - alongside Vapiano. (A chain I had much struggle with during my time in Sweden) Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield owns this mall they also seem to own many other malls around the country - I did find the layouts between this mall and others including Taby Centrum to be similar in the sense the same signs which say "go forward for x store or toilets etc" were the same look and font - and although there is no individual branding for the mall company, they do seem similar. Westfield does have some pretty great, cool malls back home in London so it was no surprise when I found out they had an involvement here! I did find it hard to find staff members around the mall to get help when needed - such as finding lifts and certain stores which was a shame as it seemed they only had the larger and anchor stores named on the overhead maps - probably because they're an anchor tenant and paying them more money. With brands including JD Sports, Clas Ohlson, Hugo Boss, Adidas, G-Star Raw, Foot Locker and more they do have a good selection of stores which are big brands and international names which we have in the UK, (other than Clas Ohlson sadly who made the decision to close all of their stores here) as well as Swedish stores like Apotek. The mall's website states they have 44 restaurants but I still can't help in being disappointed with the selection - after some bad experiences with service at some of their bigger brands including Starbucks (large store upstairs, but downstairs it is too close together, cramped and uncomfortable), O'Leary's (unauthentic, AWOL staff) and Vapiano (staff don't seem to care, rudeness, slow wait times). There are other places, which aren't really brands - none of which screamed out at me or looked too exciting - Top Floor being hidden on the highest floor of the mall and in a car park was surely strange. Overall, especially considering the high taxation which if offputting to stores in Stockholm city centre this is a pretty good mall. Is it the best in the area? It's close but no but that doesn't mean the need to take anything away from MOS - while it might lack the contemporary, central feel of MOOD and perhaps the better service and Apple Store you can see at Taby Centrum - it's still a large, modern and cool mall and one of the better places to shop at the city, made better in a way by the city's two other malls as they all offer different things but here at Mall of Scandanavia, they have a great selection of stores, it's in a good location for access to Stockholm city centre or the Friends Arena so still warrants a good four-star rating.

Seriously I left this place with "It was OK"…read more When I go to outlets, usually people have a bunch of bags in their hands... so I always check what stores they went to buy something. But here I didn't see many people with shopping bags. Does it mean there is nothing good? Well the discounts aren't great great. To give you a taste: GANT has mostly 30% off same with Filippa K. Levis had Jeans for 650kr-ish. Acne had 70% of Jeans that was good. Home & Cook was a good store where you could get two Tefal pans for 600kr. The Shirt factory had shirts for 549kr ish (2 for 999kr). I was a most disappointed of Vagabond, Haglofs and ECCO. Couldn't find anything good. Maybe it was just today. My personal favorite was "Company's Outlet". Really good deals ladies! Plus, in case you are looking for a snack or drink there are a few stores like Waynes Cafe to sit down and relax the feets - because this place is soo big *wink, wink* If I would come again: Yes, 100% for Company's outlet and maybe for Levis.

I remember when this area was two grocery stores, one liquor store, and one media store .. back in…read morethe good ol' days. But then came the day when they moved one of the stores and instead built the mall that stands there today. What can I say, so much better than those two grocery stores. They have almost every store that I ever visit when I go to the city. It's a neat design, clean and fresh. I have only been when there haven't been that many people there and it's well worth going early to have the mall "to yourself". They have restaurants and cafes too which is always important in a mall. One grocery store is still left and the liquor store is too. To the area they added (from what I saw driving past) three sporting goods stores, a pet store and a "we-have-everything-you-don't-really-need-buuut-you're-gonna-end-up-buying" kind of store (honestly, who doesn't love that kind of store?) The area is developing to become something more than what it used to be, which is good. In this case, pretty great.

During my time in Stockholm, I passed through a large number of shopping malls including Solna…read moreCentrum which is just a short ride away from the city centre in Solna. Being a short walk away (under a mile), from the largest shopping mall in Sweden and the third-largest in the Nordic countries which is the Mall of Scandinavia - one could argue the need for this smaller shopping centre which is located a few minutes walk away from the metro station of the same name. It is pretty small and just walking through it, the mall appears to be a little uninspired and run-down, although some big brands do remain including Subway and Clas Ohlson - many stores seem to have moved to the nearer mall nearby and it seems this mall has slowly gone downhill since MOS opened in 2015. Stockholm County does have some fantastic shopping centres from Taby Centrum and Mall of Scandinavia to Galleria and MOOD and sadly this mall doesn't offer anything the others don't, it isn't the place it was it just feels run down and like a shopping centre you'd find in a really small town, certainly not fit for one of the area's fastest-growing cities and it's with regret, I feel Solna Centrum deserves it's first one-star rating, and considering I'm the first to review here in around three years I'm not surprised I am the first and it is a shame to see how this mall has dwindled in lieu of nearby Mall of Scandinavia, interestingly both owned and operated by Westfield.
