Pori

BePop
Yrjönkatu

A shopping mall located in the northern end of the pedestrian zone, also has several small stores. it's also a crazy example of the building boom of the "casino economy", with a huge structure in pastel colors but very little commercial space. there's a nice view if you bother to climb to the top bridge that crosses the "alley".

Isokarhu

Mall is a large shopping mall in the heart of the city, alongside the pedestrian zone. in it are located franchises of the most common finnish and international chains ranging from h&m to intersport. what you can't find inside, is very probably sold in a store located right next to it it's a small town afterwall. there are some nice cafe's as well.

The old market hall

Or in finnish "kauppahalli" is a nostalgic experience. the hall sells local products ranging from fish to vegetables. it opens early in the morning and stays open through the afternoon. good place to take it easy for a while and have an old-fashioned cup of coffee with a sweet bread. but be warned: the retro has a downside in the average age of visitors being probably over 70 years. old people have also a saying "when you come to pori, we put you in a pã¤rekori chip basket and get you around the tori market square.
