  • By Ben Creighton
    A good shopping experience in the heart of the city. Lots of different stores, including many popular franchises, and also plenty of food and entertainment options. But I've also loved the main courtyard with the Shot Tower under the dome - such a weird concept but it totally works!
  • By Verónica Meca Llamas
    “Sistine Chapel” at Emporium. Great experience if you like art and couldn’t visit the real Chapel back in Italy. It is a great experience to know a bit more about Michelangelo and his artistic skills. Recommend it 100%!
