Situated in Vlaska street it is just in a walking distance from the Main Square, no more then 10 minutes walking. It isn't spacious, there are two storeys only and easy to access all shops. Besides shops it has several cafe-bars and pizzeria.
What to buy: As for cloths, do not expect designed brands here, an average quality and look and mostly casual clothing styles. The are like dozen shops with the shoes, some of them very expensive, and offering really nice and quality shoes.
To those who need photo equipment or new camera there excist pretty good shop and not so expensive.

The first shopping mall to have opened in Zagreb - before Importanne we had only department stores and small shops.
The whole Importanne is located under Starcevicev trg, i.e. below ground. Starcevicev trg is that square next to the main railway station (Glavni kolodvor).
Open daily 9:00-21:00, closed on Sundays.
I'm not particularly fond of Importanne - stores are rather small and the mall is difficult to orient at. Furthermore, despite there being zillion shoe shops, the choice is poor because most stores have the same supplier--silly if not stupid!!!
You'll find Importanne always crowded, but for the wrong reason - people go there to warm up since the main railway station is yet to be modernized and become home to good bars.
What to buy: The only store worth visiting is Guliver. Ironicaly, it's a shoe shop, but their shoes are of peculiar design and good quality (the price is adequate to quality, he he). You can find another Guliver store in Importanne Galleria, the sister mall of Importanne.

Stylish and sophisticated, Avenue Mall is just the right size to indulge in shopping, entertainment and fine food.
What to buy: Don't miss the kava (coffee) 'happy hour' at Metropolitan Bar before 12pm Monday to Friday. The cafe is located left from the main entrance of the mall.

In this shopping center of the latest architecture you will find cafés/restaurants and a variety of the more expensive shops. What makes it attractive is the contrast if you approach it from the Tkalciceva street, where you have all the old buildings with cafés/restaurants and little shops and then suddenly you come upon this modern shopping center with multiplex cinema.

You will find the entrance to this mall to the right of the railway station. There is a passage in the mall in order to reach the back of the station. There is a variety of shops down there. Even though it's by the railway station I didn't see anything seedy at all but it was rather pleasant there.

Importanne Centar is underground shopping centre. It is in front of the main train station and you can’t miss it because beautiful hotel Esplanade(now Regent hotel) and the fountain in front of the hotel will catch your eye(hopefully you look at it when the water is actually on because it comes on and off within a minute or so). The escalator will take you underground to the variety of shops, good and tasty take-away food, and there are grocery shops opened till late as well. You can get all different magazines in Importanne, clothes, drinks, ‘dm’ shop is here if you need to top up your toiletries, and at the end of a long hallway there is a McDonald restaurant.

Mall situated in the center of the city. Most shops are pretty pricy cause the brands are exclusive, but not too exclusive. Besides all kinds of cloth shops, there is a supermarket, cinemas, japanese and french restaurant, cafes and wine bar (popular at night with "high society" younger crowd). On http://www.centarkaptol.hr/ click lokali on the left to see the ful list of shops.
What to buy: Buy whatever you like, the prices are not higher than in other countries, maybe you come across a good bargain.
