Shopping Malls & Commercial Centers in Lima Below you see a list of 16 Shopping Malls and Commercial Centers in Lima (Selection = ALL)
Shopping Malls conquering LimaThe precursor of today's modern, western style shopping malls in Lima quite surely is the "commercial gallery" Galerias Boza. Opened already in 1956 at the famous Jr. de la Union in the city center it was for nearly 20 years the most luxurious and modern shopping facility of the capital. Unfortunately it never recovered after it was partly burnt down in 1975 and today is abandoned. In the 1960s two small commercial centers were opened: the Centro Comercial Todos in San Isidro near the Via Expressa and the Centro Comercial Risso in Lince at Av. Arequipa block 22 which is still operating. In 1973 Miraflores got its first, even though with only 23 boutiques and a coffee shop, small commercial center, the famous 'Avant-Garde'. Sadly today only a few stores are left. In the 1970s and 1980s many middle sized shopping malls were opened: Plaza San Miguel, still operating, modernized, extended and very popular, Higuerta, an accumulation of many small stores and back then with two big retailers, the commercial center Arenales, as well still in business, and Camino Real in San Isidro, "the" shopping center of the 1980s, but today nothing compared to its former splendor. Other malls opened in the 1980s were the Plaza Camacho, the Molicentro, Caminos del Inca and El Polo. All were remodeled in the last years to meet modern standards and to be able to compete against the new, ultramodern shopping malls popping up in Lima. Since 1997 a new generation of shopping malls conquered the capital of Peru. Starting with Lima's showpiece mall, the Jockey Plaza, today's shopping centers tend to turn into meeting places, like the main square in former times, offering its customers next to all possible shopping facilities also all kind of entertainment, fairs and exhibitions. After this model places like Larcomar, Marina Park, Primavera Park & Plaza, Mega Plaza Norte, Lima Plaza Sur, Molina Plaza and many more were built. In the last 10 years Lima was showered with new, bigger, better, brighter and more modern shopping centers. And many more are in construction or planed. While you won't find here anything Lima is recognized or famous for, these Centro Comerciales, if we like them or not, are part of the today's culture.  Miraflores  Shopping Mall(Larcomar Shopping Mall)  Located at the top of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Miraflores, Larcomar probably is the most unique shopping mall in Lima and even won the award for Innovative Design in Construction granted by the International Council of Shopping Centers. Around 160 shops and boutiques offer a wide variety of products for their high-end customers and tourists. From clothes, shoes and accessories to sportswear and jewelry and of course many Peruvian arts and handicrafts you find nearly everything you desire. Larcomar has as well a big cinema, a theater, a bowling center, a gallery, banks and arcade games for the kids. And in case you don’t like this sort of western style shopping malls either enjoy the numerous bars and discotheques or some great food or a burger in one of the various restaurants with a stunning view over the ocean.
