Travelers come here to take photos against the backdrop of a spectacular building. They also admire the landscape decorations presented on the territory of the shopping center.

In addition to several hundred shops, many entertainment options are available to visitors in Centro Colombo. The most famous and modern cinema in the city Zon with 10 halls is located here. The excellent Disney Store play area is equipped for younger visitors. More than 60 restaurants and cafes of various specialties are located in Centro Colombo. The opening of the shopping and entertainment center took place in 1997. It got its name in honor of the world-famous navigator.

It is not surprising that the interior design of the shopping center is reminiscent of the era of important geographical discoveries. There are many themed sculptures and fountains in the mall. A huge globe adorns one of the most beautiful fountains. A seating area is available on the roof. It is another interesting feature of Centro Colombo. The park with a live lawn and ornamental plants is located here. Several cafes and a relaxation area with a fountain are located on the roof.

The amazing shopping center building is an environmental project. Natural materials were used in its construction. Special energy-saving systems are connected in a large-scale building. The shopping center participates in special waste disposal programs. This also makes it special. The first reconstruction of the shopping center began in 2007. It lasted almost two years. Its interior design was partially changed during this period. Fashionable innovative solutions have been added to it.
