Solna centrum — Local services in Solna kommun

Focused on the Mall. It's a Mall. What is there to say really? No, really. Just another colossal, soulless shell filled with overpriced nonsense that no one actually needs. The only thing more dismal than the pointless shops are the dazed expressions of us lost souls roaming around trying to find the exit.

The food is a culinary wasteland of overpriced soggy sandwiches and barbecued coffee with artificial flavours.

Teenagers buying things they’ll regret buying in 9 minutes. Parents drenched in agony and sweat, dragging their 2.5 children alongside prams that could be mistaken for military tanks with all the gadgets and the sheer size of them. And old people, bless them, wandering about all dazed and confused trying to find a spot to drink a decent cup of coffee that doesn't taste like bubbelgum and doesn't cost half their pension.

But, credit where credit is due, the place is clean! Yep! Spotless, even. A sterile, tidy void of personality.

So, if you are looking for a big, boring, but impeccably clean and tidy mall experience, you found it baby! Wheelchair friendly...

This Solna Centrum is in the older part of Solna, if you compare to Mall Of Scandinavia. Nowadays, Solna Centrum is more for locals. They have opened Lidl and offer different variation of food stores. Also onr can find something too eat. Stores for clothes is the traditional marks and some private. Jewelry stores the same. Offers a big toy store. Library has one of the best range in newspapers and magazines. They also offers activity especial for elder and young, and for all ages. The technique shops are fine, Clas.Ohlson, Kjell o Co, Teknikmagasinet etc if one doesn't look for more specialised electrical or building machines. Possible to buy something for your pet, kitchen and home, sport. Further, for reading, writing, some medicine, etc.. If course there are different sevices as well. Well it's nice if someone looks for a environment that is...

Solna Centrum is like an hidden gem, especially when you have small children to entertain. They have a small playground which is ok if it’s not crowded, but the best is the library with plenty of nice books and space for different age children. I have some favourites spots: the two second hand shops for adults and now there is a third one only for children which is great! There is also an independent maker who sells beautiful dresses called SarahWonderland and recently an amazing ice cream place has opened (pistachio is amazing!). The Thai Lilly Bistro has live music every Friday afternoon which is also very enjoyable. And finally I love the Returnpunkt not only to drop items for recycling but to see and get inspired on what you can make out of old staff! Every time I visit this place I feel there is something...
