For fancy shopping there are a lot of opportunities, some of them located in the Centre more precisely in the Citadel part and others in several malls, e.g. Unirea Shopping Center, My Place, Eliana Mall, Macromall. However they are highly expensive. Still, Eliana Mall contains a Go Multiplex cinema which is quite comfortable. For food and regular shopping the hypermarkets Carrefour, Metro, Selgros, Kaufland are a good solution. Most of them are concentrated on the entrance/exit from/to Bucharest. To get there from the city centre Livada PoÅtei use the RAT line 17 8-12 minutes and from the train station the RAT line 35 10-15 minutes. For natural, Romanian typical and healthy ecological food, the markets are a great option. A highly recommended place is Astra Market PiaÅ£a Astra. There are 2 types of food sold here: imported and produced by peasants from the countryside. The latter is a bit more expensive than tha former, but it is of great quality. To get there use the RAT Line 6 from the Centre Livada PoÅtei. It is a 7-8 minute ride. Since you are here, you can also visit the Orizont 3000 commercial centre. It consists of small shops with all kinds of goods of different needs and quality.
