One warning: Don't go to Emporia on the first day of sales season…read more
Otherwise, this place is pretty decent shopping mall and far more interesting than Fields, that once bragged the biggest mall in Scandinavia.
Emporia has plenty of shops, some of them have their duplicates in Denmark, some don't and those are my favourite - since I have to cross the bridge all the way from Denmark to Sweden to visit this place, so I won't be visiting TGR (Why do they abbreviate Tiger?) or Illums Bolighus for that matter.
Mostly I visit Emporia for three reasons: L'occitane (somehow, this is the only place where I found the 500ml shampoo bottle/refill), hardware shop Clas Ohlson (this shop is just freaking awesome, and of course a shop this awesome can't be found anywhere in Copenhagen *thumbs down*) and ICA supermarket (why are Danish supermarkets such downer compared to ICA?)
You better make your trip worth it and we always do and go back to our residential land with loads of heavy shopping bags that make our hands hurt. Maximize your shopping, that is!
