The shopping trip
continues.
skellefteå has made remarkable progress when it
comes to shopping. from a typical small swedish town
with just the basics on offer, the city has developed
into one of norrland’s most exciting places to shop.
give it a go! wander through the mall. make a little detour.
Be curious. ask one of the locals. you’ll soon have
that bargain in your hands.
most shopping in sweden is characterised
by swedish and international chains. the
range on offer is well thought out and in demand.
there are two ways in which you can
spice up the shopping experience. you can
mix the broad range of products offered by
the major retail outlets with unique, local
variations on the specific and unexpected.
the other way is to create accessibility and
presence. in skellefteå there are 168 steps
between the three shopping malls in the
centre of town. to create greater accessibility,
there are two large commercial centres
– one in the south and one in the north.
part of the experience of travel exists in the
things you find in local shops. that thingamyjig
you actually take home with you. it
doesn’t necessarily have to be a souvenir.
memories can be tied up in a sweater, a pair
of shoes or that window lamp you simply
couldn’t resist.
