Shopping centers in Aberdeen
The Mall Trinity - The Mall Aberdeen
One of the largest and most famous shopping centers is the Mall Aberdeen or the
Mall Trinity which the shopping center was named until 2006. [See image
first in the article]. The Mall Aberdeen is located at 155 Union Street.
The center is open every day from 0900 except Sundays. The Mall closes 1730
Monday through Wednesday, 2000 Thursday, 1800 Friday and Saturday. On Sundays,
the opening hours are 1100 to 1700. The center is also wheelchair accessible and
has several restaurants.
One of the most well-known department stores you'll find at The Mall Trinity
is Debenhams. Debenhams has mostly for children, women and men.
Bon Accord St Nicolas Center The
Bon Accord St Nicolas Shopping Center is probably the largest shopping
center in Aberdeen and is now approaching 100 stores under the same roof. You
can find it in St Nicholas Street and George Street. Previously, Bon
Accord St Nicolas Center was two shopping centers that were then merged. The
center is still divided into two buildings. You will find a number of the
well-known chain stores here, as well as many exciting specialty stores. The
center is open 7 days a week with opening hours such as The Mall Aberdeen.
Souvenirs in Aberdeen
It is possible to visit Scotland and avoid coming home with a kilt, but admit
that you are thinking? Alex Scott & Co is a famous souvenir
shop with Scottish specialties, including kilts of all shapes and sizes. Alex
Scott & Co is located in 43 Schoolhill. Alternatively, you come home with some
other bulletproof clothing. When it comes to shopping for traditional Scottish
clothing, we recommend Country Ways at 115 Holburn Street. Many
hunt for a good bottle of Scotch Whiskey as a souvenir from the Scotland trip.
There are several shops selling this noble Scottish drink, but it is best to
make a purchase while visiting a whiskey distillery, such as. the local
manufacturer Glenfiddich.
Especially shopping in Aberdeen
So-called fair trade shops have become increasingly popular. One such store
in Aberdeen is the Third World Center located in Correction
Wynd. This is the gift shop for those who want a good conscience.

Eating in Aberdeen
Aberdeen has a number of restaurants where all the world's cuisine is
represented. And like everywhere else in Scotland you can of course find
yourself a pub and get a reasonably good meal for a cheap money. But remember
that not all pubs in Aberdeen serve food during the evening.
Now, Scots are not primarily known for their contributions to international
haute cuisine, but if you dare you can try the Scottish specialty haggis. The
recipe varies, but the main ingredients are liver and heart from sheep, mixed
with onions, flour, fat and salt. Preferably with a scotch of whiskey.
Aberdeen is a bit more expensive than neighboring cities, but it is not that
strange, since Aberdeen is both the region's clearly largest and most
international city. But restaurant prices in Scotland do not normally scare
Norwegians.
Some selected restaurants in Aberdeen:
The Simpson's restaurant at 59 Queen's Road is for those who
want to spend some good quality Scottish food. Going to be one of the city's
best restaurants.
If you love French cuisine, try Gerard's located at 50
Chapel Street. This is a traditional French restaurant. Expensive but high
quality. Open all days.
Little Italy logically serves Italian food. You can find the
restaurant at 79 Holborn Street. Here you will find all kinds of pasta and pizza
dishes that you know before. One advantage of the restaurant is that it remains
open until 0200 at night Thursday through Saturday. The rest of the week closes
at midnight, except for Sundays where the restaurant is closed all day.
If you want to eat really cheap and at the same time taste arctic fish and
chips then go to Ashvale at 46 Great Western Road. It is said
that this is the most famous and best fish and chips restaurant in the entire
region. Closes late and has plenty of space, 300 seats.
Nightlife in Aberdeen
If you have not visited Scotland before, you have something to look forward
to. Here there is a high ceiling and a great atmosphere, almost every day,
although things tend to take off on weekends. So it is in Aberdeen. A number of
bars and pubs fill up with people drinking their pint and ale and meeting the
evening with a good mood.
One of the best pubs is The Prince of Wales. You will find
this popular pub on 7 St Nicholas Lane, not far from Union Station. A large
selection of beers on both bottles and barrels combined with reasonable prices
ensures that the premises are usually packed.
For those a little younger we can recommend Cocky Hunters,
located at 504 Union Street. It is popular with students and the pub often
offers live music. |
