Opened in January 2010 the Centro Comercial Real Plaza Centro Civico is supposed to develop into one of the biggest and most modern shopping facilities the capital has to offer; due to the confined space a challenging task. It's strategically located in Lima's city center next to the new underground bus terminal of the Lima Metroplitano on the grounds of Lima's former jail, the Panóptico.

When it comes to shopping malls, Jockey Plaza is one of Lima's showpieces. Opened in April 1997 Jockey Plaza offers high-end facilities for well-funded shoppers in a western style environment. Next to a big supermarket, a home center and two department stores, you find over 230 shops and boutiques offering everything from clothes and shoes to sports gear and jewelry to all kinds of accessories and animal supplies.

At the top of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Miraflores, Larcomar probably is the 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.
