Lavina Mall is one of the newest city malls in Kyiv which is located not far from the city border. This is a shopping mall where you can find everything you need in one building and get lost inbetween clothes and treats. Whatever you want to buy - souvenirs, clothing, gadgets, accessories, furniture, food or beverages - you’ll find it in Lavina Mall. Besides, it offers a huge entertainment area for children and adults, a lot of cafes and restaurants and even a cinema theatre. If you are in Kyiv and it’s cold and rainy you can go to Lavina Mall and enjoy shopping.
On first sight, Lavina Mall is similar to thousands of shopping malls elsewhere, but it has a unique Ukrainian note. Next to international shop chains you’ll find here Ukrainian stores, cafes and coffee spots. I like F91- a store with clothes made in Ukraine, Ukrainian jewelry stores such as Zarina (gold jewelry) and serebro.ua (silver jewelry) as well as confectionery Fachion Cake with delicious and fashionable cakes.
I like Lavina Mall because of its shopping convenience: even if I don’t have much time, I can find what I need there for when I’m going outside of Kyiv for the weekend. And the shop-cafe-entertainment-combination is really one of a kind.
