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.

Mainly Scandinavian design, and definitely put together for the Scandinavian taste. The location is just across the road for one of the entrances to the big, underground parking house "Klostergarasjen", so you don't have to carry your new crushes long to get them home with you. Illums is the place to go for gift shopping, for inspiration, for setting up your wedding present list or for finding everything you need to decorate your home. The centre is popular, but not crowded, and pricey without ruin you. A treat for a rainy day.

The store is conveniently located downtown and the perfect stop for anyone with discerning tastes or anyone shopping for those with discerning tastes. If you're not stopping, I still recommend stopping by for a look to experience great design. During the holidays, they have specials on unique items everyday. They have the day and the highlighted item posted on the window and wall right when you enter.

For 130 NOK or about $13 US Dollars I bought a soda can, loaf of bread, and 2 sandwiches. If I bought this at the fish market it would have cost $50 at least. The grocery store is across the street from the fish market and visitor center on the hotel side. Not the shipping side. See photos. A hidden gem to save money is here!!

That was done quickly!…read more I think I've only been visiting Kløverhuset for specific shops the latter years, cause when I revisited on Saturday for "shopping" with friends, I was disappointed and surprised to experience how boring it us. I think the highlights are the dress shop Coast, the Day Birger et Mikkelsen on the first floor and the Netty lingerie in the basement. You will also find nice, expensive designer's wear at Scabal, but there's a high risk that you will find the same clothes on every second 14-year-old in the city, who's parents have either too much money or bad conscience, or a combination of the two. The centre is the oldest in the city, dating back to 1852, so I'm cheering on Kløverhuset and hope they find a better mix of shops and services to put themselves back into the game.

This is an AMAZING Christmas shop!…read more This Christmas shop is 3 levels! There are all kinds of ornaments and decorations. The prices are reasonable. I really liked the different ornament styles. They were very Scandinavian. There's Christmas cards, Christmas napkins, table decor, and other small Knick knacks. They also have a sale section. The building itself is very interesting to look at. The stairways are not straight.

Living 3 hours north of Bergen, in…read morea town with limited options for shopping, our day trips to the city of Bergen, taking the bus early in the morning, was centered around the visit to Galleriet. And one still can not avoid it. It's located in the heart of the city, on Torgallmenningen. Seven floors of shops and services offers you everything from a haircut to cheap dining, from books, via clothes and accessories to groceries. What used to be a dream of a shopping centre, has however turned in to a centre I am trying to avoid. I think it's me who has changed, cause the centre is more or less the same as it was 20 years ago. So what is it I do not like? The seven floors can, and will, contain a lot of people. It's always crowded, and for me I get a feeling of stress the moment I step inside. Also the shops are not all that interesting, without me being able to point a finger on why. The reasons why I still drop by: the chocolate shop on the corner, the farmacy that is located few steps from my bus stop, the sandwich / coffee cafeteria on the first floor, offering free crossaints along with your coffee before 10 a.m. and the book store Norli. Also every now and then I am forced to use the escalators to other floors to look for last minute birthday gifts, or visit the the grocery store in the basement, that is untidy and overprized, but still have a great variety of fresh produce.

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.

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.

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.
