Every city has the advantage of many marketing giants where are all necessary shops and entertainment places. Under a roof there is whatever you want. Vilnius is not an exception. We can briefly discuss about the biggest supermarkets in the capital of Lithuania.

Akropolis. Akropolis is the oldest supermarket in Vilnius, located in Ozo Street. The supermarket was opened in 2002. Akropolis deserved visitors well as a place where you can not only do the shopping but also have a good time. There are many world-famous shops, wide choice of clothes and shoes. Akropolis distinguishes by the supply of entertainment. There are not only a plenty of bars, restaurants but also other public catering places. 
The big ice arena is in the supermarket. It is like the centre of gravity for skating amateurs. You even don’t need to bring your ice-skate to the supermarket because a rent agency offers its service. It is possible to see not only skating amateurs but also professionals, demonstrating impressive tricks. So it is a great place to visit, if you are looking for an active relaxation. Arena is open for skaters from 8 am until midnight.
Akropolis has a great cinema. The subdivision of the "Forum Cinemas" group’s branch network in this shopping centre regularly offers moviegoers the most recent films. There are also organized festivals, and once a month is the so-called "Yomayo" days, when a price of a ticket is just 8 Lt. 
Akropolis proposes another fun for bowling fans and lovers. This is the largest bowling club in Lithuania, tempting all players with attractive prices. Besides, the bowling is played there until the late evening (on weekends until 1 pm.), so you can enjoy not only the bowling, but a glass of beer or have a meal in one of the many restaurants in Akropolis.

Panorama.  This huge supermarket, that occupies even 129 thousand square meters, is located in Zverynas micro district, Saltoniskiu Street. Panorama distinguishes by its spaciousness and convenience. A plenty of elevators and escalators are installed here, an environment is extremely bright, and a huge architectural project serves the needs of all visitors. To enlarge on a huge choice of goods and services as an essential element of every supermarket is not worth. However, Panorama distinguishes from the other shopping centres in Vilnius by the fact that there is installed the first indoor electric karting track in Lithuania. The circle of friends can try forces because there are organized races and the winners are awarded. This entertainment you can enjoy every day, it works up to 10 p.m. 
This supermarket is named Panorama to some purpose. There are many restaurants that are concentrated in the third floor of the shopping centre, the so-called "observation deck". Picturesque views of Vilnius make the tasty food even more delicious. Panorama justifies its name ahead of visitors, because the entrance is equipped with photographers’ exhibition, which captures the spectacular scenery of Vilnius.

Ozas.  Ozas is completely fresh supermarket, opened only on the 20th of August. It has already earned an excellent reputation. Here you can find a lot of shops that are not available in other supermarkets in Vilnius (that was the main vision of Ozas – the uniqueness and originality). 
However, the biggest novelty not only in Lithuania but also in the Baltic entertainment market should be family entertainment centre “X-Planet”, which is in Ozas. This extreme entertainment park, where young or old one can have a good time, offers a plenty of different activities.
