    Shopping centre - Nordstan
    by HORSCHECK
    With more than 150 shops Nordstan is said to be Skandinavia's biggest shopping mall. It is packed with all sorts of shops and stores as well as restaurants, pubs and cafes. It is also home to a large indoor square for entertainment events.
    Goteborg's Tourist Information and the Swedish superrmarket chain "Hemkop" have a branch in Nordstan as well.

    IKEA: I know, I know,...but it MUST be mentioned.

    If you're like me, it's hard not to put the words IKEA and Sweden together in the same sentence every chance you get and yes, we all know they sell very good quality home furnishings at more than fair prices, but I'm including them here simply to help shed light on the "myth" of the IKEA name. No,...it's not the squeal of joy a Swedish child makes when Jultomten arrives with presents on Christmas Eve but in fact an acronym created by adding the first initials of the founder's name with the same of two towns near where he lived when he created his mail-order furniture business in 1950.

    So,...are you ready for the key to unlock this timeless mystery? Here you go:

    Ingvar Kamprad + Elmtaryd + Agunnaryd.

    Now,...aren't you glad you read this?

    Whatever you like,...it's all good.

    Much less than you'd ever expect, but then,...you already knew that, ja?

    Where to buy souvenirs
  • Tip Rating:

  • By Calcio on December 9, 2004

  • IFK Göteborg: You’ll find their new supporter-shop at Berzeligatan, close to both the Avenyn and Scandinavium (the icehockey-stadium). There you’ll find all kinds of souvenirs, books, videos, tickets and more. You can also book your place for the away-games.
    For souvenirs it’s also possible to buy them inside the stadium on matchdays, and in some sport shops as Stadium and InterSport. There is also an online-shop at www.ifkgoteborg.se

    Örgryte: They don’t have a shop as big brother IFK, but it’s possible to buy souvenirs inside the stadium on matchdays, and in some sport shops.

    Gais: Sell their souvenirs on matchdays inside the stadium, and in some sport shops.

    Häcken: You’ll find their souvenirs inside the stadium on matchdays, and via their homesite www.hacken.o.se

    Frölunda: Also Frölunda sells their souvenirs inside the stadium, and via their homesite: www.vfif.o.se

    Scarves, matchshirts, flags, hats. Everything you want for the football game.

    Unlike in Italy, all the souvenirs here are official. That means they cost much more. For scarfe you'll have to pay 10-13 euro, for a matchshirt 50-70 euro. For a flag 10-15 euro.
    For a t-shirt 15 euro.

    Nordstan: Biggest Mall in Sweden

    Inside Nordstan

    This is, as the title says, the biggest mall in sweden. Here you will find almost every mainstream store you can think of. It's only a couple of hundreds of meters from the trainstation. You can probably spend a whole day here without going to the same store twice. I myself get tired just walking in the door, but I am not a big fan of shopping. I know that roughly half of the worlds population has this as their first and foremost hobby though, so this tip is for them.

    Hundreds of shops, everything from clothes to sportsgear to videogames to...anything really.
    So...what's the limit on that creditcard again?

    Nordstan shopping center: Biggest indoor shopping in north Europe
  • Tip Rating:
  • Henrik_rrb
  • Updated By Henrik_rrb on November 18, 2005
  • Göteborg Page by Henrik_rrb
  • Nordstan, right around the corner from the Central Station in Gothenburg, is north Europe's biggest shopping center indoor. There are more than 170 different shops in the building, and every day passes more than 70 000 people.

    Thanks to the central venue of the center it's very easy to go there for a bit of shopping, and you'll also find more or less everything you might be looking for.

    Clothes for both men and women, shoes, tecnhical stuff like tv:s, cameras, video, dvd, food, music stores, café shops, travel agencies, Systembolaget (only place where you can buy alcohol to bring home), gold, silver, banks and more and more.

    Prices are normal, as in the rest of the city.

    Here you'll also find restaurants for both lunch and dinner.

    If you aren't looking for shopping I would advice you to don't get in. The streets are normally so crowded you'll just get tired if you don't have anything to look forward to.

    And as in all shopping centers, watch out for pickpocket.

    Some of the shops you'll here:
    Hennes & Mauritz (H&M)
    Cassels
    Always Tours (travel)
    Bilia (Volvo och Renault cars)
    Brother's (men clothes)
    Dressman (men clothes)
    Clas Olsson (technical stuff)
    Guldfynd (jewelry)
    Hemköp (food)
    InterSport (sport clothes)
    Sisters (women clothes)
    Verner & Verner (kitchen stuff)
    Team Sportia (sport shop)
    Wettergrens (bookshop)
    Flygvaruhuset (travel)
    Nordea (bank)
    SEB (bank)
    Vero Moda (women clothes - and nothing else... ;))

    Restaurants:
    McDonalds
    Burger King
    Pizza Hut
    Åhlens café and restaurant
    Lydia's diner (recommended!)
    City Kebab Alysa

    Hotel:
    Scandic

    I'm quite sure you'll find more or less everything you're looking for here.

    Normal swedish prices, which unfortunately isn't that cheap as it once was. Cheaper than in Milano and London, more expensive than in Istanbul.

    This is a great store if you are looking for second hand vinyl records. They have a huge selection of music, and to pretty fair prices as well. Sometimes they have special releases as well, so check in on what's happening if you find yourself in the neighbourhood.

    Apart from second hand vinyl they have new records as well, and CDs to. They often have some recordplayers for sale too, so that old excuse that you only have a cdplayer won't work anymore.
    And now that I think about it I seem to remember that they also sell used DVD movies and musik DVD's.

    Vinyl Records
    CD's
    DVD's

    I think a record is between 50-100 SEK, typically.

    Antikhallarna, as its name suggests, is not a shop but rather several halls full of small shops. You will find many specialising in watches and stamps, but also toys, china and art and naturally also maritime things.

    A very local thing would be maritime.

    This place has the largest selection of music in town. And to the best prices as well.
    Long tables full of cheap cd's in probably no order at all. So it's pretty fun to walk around and see what you find. And you will find something, or the beer is on me. Also, they have the usual A to Z group by group shelves.

    They have music dvd's as well, and the usual movie dvd's. But it's the music you'll come here for.
    You might feel it's a bit out of the way at first, but consider that it's not at all far from 2a Långgatan with it's pubs and stuff so don't write it off.

    It's cheaper than other music shops in sweden
