- francis187London, United Kingdom85 contributionsLoved it a must visitWOW was going to museum of senses and it was inside this massive place omg we spent 3hrs in here. Everything you could want and more in there. Security staff were so polite and helpful loved it. More food places than I could count also.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 20, 2024
- Akkers1London, United Kingdom1,081 contributionsModern Shopping MallA huge shopping mall with a broad selection of shops like Victorias Secret, C&A (not been in the UK for years like seeing an old friend) and many others. There is also a vast food hall, cinema, children's play area and even an ice rink. We had an enjoyable shopping experience and even found time for lunch at Taco Bell. Highly recommended that you visit this shopping mall.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 28, 2024
- AnitaAlmereAlmere, The Netherlands145 contributionsBeautiful and super fine shopping MallBeautiful and super nice shopping Mall. One of the largest we have visited. Good range of brands. Both the more expensive and the 'regular' brands. Easily accessible by public transport We took the metro, get off at stop Politehnica, then it is about 600m walk to the Mall. Good to do. Plenty of choice of drinking and dining options. Everything looks clean and tidy. We didn't come home empty-handed.Visited September 2024Traveled with friendsWritten September 22, 2024
- Mata33 contributionsBeautiful Bucharest!When I decided to visit Bucharest,I didn't think it would impress me so much.It's not true what they say that Bucharest is for two, three days. It has so many places to see, so green to walk and enjoy, as nowhere else. Because I visited everything on foot! Huge green parks. I lived in the old town, it was a canvas of colors, so happy and so alive. It means that it has everything, from cafes, bars, restaurants, small commercials, even small casinos! It is worth visiting the Palace of Parliament, it is scary by its size,the second largest building in the world. As also very beautiful the Ateneui Romani, indeed justifies its name, reminds Greece. Piata Revolutei, Arcuide Triumph, Muzeul National de Artu al Romania, etc. In the old town there is a very beautiful Orthodox temple, the temple of Stavropolios and also to see the Old princely courtyard, which was built by Vlad Tepes ( Count Dracula). In the old town there is also an arcade with two entrances,Pasajal Macca, Vila Crosse of the 19th century. It's very beautiful, full of atmospheric bars. Also impressive is the largest square, the piata Unirii with fountains of kilometers. Amazing parks, like this in Lake Herastrau shallow magic. The place I will always remember is the village of Dimitri Custi. It's the national village museum, what to say, I have no words. Unbelievable! You walk and it's like you're in the 17th century, in the traditional Fovero! Food is good, prices are good. Make sure to try the sweet Papanasi! Nice restaurant the Caru cubere and for a drink the Fix me a drink! The only sure. Anyone going to Bucharest will have a great time!Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 23, 2024

This mall is a very good option for the families with kids. While the parents are going shopping the children can stay at the playground. Also this mall has a lot of shops, a lot of brands and a museum. The museum of sences in my opinion was wonderful. It starts with a mirror maze and after there are a lot of optical ilussions and it's very interesting. But, this mall is the perfect place for fun or for a movie, to spend time with your friends and if you need something 100% you will find what you are searching for.

One of the best malls in Bucharest. What makes it a little different is the IMAX cinema and the ice rink that works all year long. The food court is not well estimated. it's always too crowded, there are too few tables for the number of restaurants.

Having visited the malls on numerous visits to Bucharest, it is always nice to come back.
While the mall was emptier this time, it was still enjoyable to walk its long avenues, window-shopping (and getting some supermarket supplies, too).
Notice that most taxi drivers outside the mall are scammers and you are better off getting a taxi online or using the taxi dispatcher machine near the main entrance to get one.

The mall is excellent, BUT my review is about the VODAFONE store in the mall. Avoid it like a plague:
We arrived into Romania Dec 1st 2021, at 6am. We stopped at Vodafone store later that morning to purchase prepaid mobile service. We were told that the prepaid service plan for mobile is valid for 28 days, which we thought was good enough as we were leaving at 1am the 29th.
To our surprise we received a message on the 26th that our service ends the 27th. Took a taxi to the mall, and asked for an explanation, the lady checked our phone numbers and said that the service started on Nov 30th. I showed her our passport that was stamped at 6am the 1st to no avail, I talked to the manager, and when I asked him how come the service started one day before we arrived into Bucharest he yelled at me that I was not supposed to see the information on the screen. Interesting that I was chastised for seeing my contract, and he told me that the only choice is to pay for another 28 days. Seems they sold me a used sim and number. I asked for a customer service number where I can talk to Vodafone customer care representative, and they gave me one. I tried it but seems my only options were 1 to add more money, 2 to add more money etc. I had the hotel reception listen, in case I misunderstood, and they confirmed that Vodafone does not have customer care option. I went online and tried all the numbers they posted, same results: give us your money, and No, we do not care. I even filed an online complaint. 2 weeks later I have not received an acknowledgement.
In all my previous travels in Europe I have used Orange or TMobile, and the service was excellent. This time I went with Vodafone, because it was the first mobile service store in the mall, and our Romanian is not that good to inquire. Learned my lesson, and already informed my friends to avoid VODAFONE like a plague as it is not a company that cares about their customers, and they have no qualms ripping you off, and the biggest proof is that they do not have a customer care number where you can talk to an employee, and they do not respond to their website contact form. To prove my genuine experience, I still have their phone numbers, and the message that my service ended on the 27th, not the the 28th.

Foodcourt is without design!!
A lot of people in this mall, very crawdy, many custimers, but the mall is just if you really need something from here or of you leave in that area.
Too many people in weekend in the mall, is like that people from that part of bucharest like it very much, that's why on weekend is too crawdy.
I don t like to buy from this mall and i don t recomand it!

Samsung Afi is horrible. Customer Service is terrible. Refused to refund a product i bought 4 days before without explanation. Did not even look at the product. Told me NO. Ilegal and terrible place. Do not buy from them. The Manager has a terrible atitudine. Don't even know who made him a Manager. Horrible place. Avoid !!!!! Buy products from a place that respects their customers.

Very big shopping Center - you really need a whole day here. Very nicely designed, has a rollercoaster ride and ice skating rink in the middle of the center. It is ideal to take kids and has slides too. Has all the major brands and a big Auchan Supermarket (quite cheap) too and a big food court. Worth the visit if you like shopping!

We spent 6 hours in this shopping center, I took a book and spend the time sitting in the food court wit a cop of coffee while my wife did a very serious shopping.
Prices are reasonable and collections are huge
Free WIFI made the stay easier
BTW
We ended up buying nothing :)

I must admit that Afi Palace cotroceni is more than a shopping mall. It offers execellent natural day light view, wonder food selection n all major brands including my favourite shop, Le Cashmere Heritage, for high end Cashmere scarves & silver jewelry. I fully recommend this place for quality over quantity.

Will the shopping mall be open on New Year's Day and shops will be open too??

This mall opens on 01-Jan in the afternoon, it did so during the last few years, like a tradition (it is the only mall that does this). All shops, restaurants and cafes are open, usually around 14:00; the exact schedule will be announced during the month of December.
