On the territory of the shopping center there are many cafes, restaurants (including those serving national cuisine), a huge amusement park for the whole family with an ice skating rink and a 3D cinema.

7. Shopping center "Capitol". In fact, this is a whole network of shopping centers, of which there are several in Moscow. However, only one of them made it into the top ten - located at Kashirskoye Shosse, 61, building 2, not far from the Domodedovskaya metro station.

The range of goods is huge, but this is not the only thing that attracts Muscovites and city guests. Thousands of people come here to visit the aquarium (the largest in the capital), the amphitheater, or watch a movie in one of the many cinema halls.

9. Vegas shopping center. Also one of the largest objects. In 2011, it was recognized as the largest in Europe. In addition to the variety of products that are presented on the shelves of Vegas, there are two entire floors with attractions. This is a real paradise for extreme sports lovers. The address of "Vegas" is MKAD, 24 km.
