- If you intend to drive, make use of the free parking period but keep an eye on the time limits to avoid fees.

A modern hub in the heart of Sønderborg
Borgen Shopping anchors central Sønderborg, a contemporary mall woven directly into the pedestrian streets of the old town. Behind its glass and steel facade, broad, bright corridors create the feel of an indoor streetscape, with skylights drawing in soft daylight even on grey days. The centre positions itself as a small city within the city, a place where errands, treats and casual meet‑ups all fold into the same visit. The layout is compact enough to navigate easily but large enough to feel like a genuine retail district. Multiple entrances connect straight to the surrounding streets, so you move seamlessly between outdoor cobbles and indoor tiles, passing display windows and seasonal installations that change throughout the year.Shops, services and everyday essentials
Around forty units are gathered under one roof, mixing national chains with independent stores. Fashion is a major draw, with women’s, men’s and children’s clothing shops spread across the centre, joined by sportswear outlets, shoe stores and accessories. Homeware chains, book and gift shops, and specialist beauty salons round out the selection, making it easy to update both wardrobe and living room in a single trip. Practical needs are well covered too. A large supermarket lets locals combine weekly grocery shopping with other errands, while a pharmacy within the complex adds a health and wellbeing element. Many stores keep consistent opening hours every day of the week, giving the centre a reliable role in local routines.Cafés, cinema and relaxed time out
Borgen is as much about leisure as it is about shopping. Scattered between the stores you’ll find cafés, bakeries and casual dining spots, ideal for a mid‑morning coffee, a quick family lunch or a simple evening meal. Seating spills into the mall’s central spaces, encouraging you to pause, chat and watch people drift by. One of the standout features is the on‑site cinema, which draws film‑goers from Sønderborg and the wider region. Its presence means the centre remains lively into the evening on show nights, with visitors pairing a movie with a bite to eat or a pre‑film wander through the shops. Combined with occasional seasonal decorations and events, it helps Borgen feel like a social gathering point rather than just a place to buy things.Design, comfort and convenience
The centre’s architecture leans towards clean, modern lines, softened by warm lighting and open atrium spaces. Wide walkways and elevators support easy circulation for families with strollers and visitors using wheelchairs. Wayfinding is straightforward, with clear signage and central information points that make it simple to locate specific stores or facilities. Comfort is a clear priority: you will find benches and informal seating areas where you can rest between shops, sheltered from wind and rain. Free parking for a limited period adds another layer of convenience, especially for those coming from nearby towns who want to combine several activities into one visit without worrying about the meter.A local meeting place for all seasons
Because it is indoors, Borgen becomes especially appealing on chilly winter days or during blustery weather along the fjord. Locals use it as a meeting place to catch up over coffee, teenagers drift between fashion and tech stores, and families appreciate the predictable climate and compact scale. At busier times, the buzz of conversations mixes with background music and the clink of cups from cafés, giving the space a lively yet manageable energy. For travellers, the centre offers a straightforward way to tap into everyday life in Sønderborg: browsing Danish and international brands, picking up regional treats in specialty shops, or simply taking a break from sightseeing in a comfortable, contemporary environment that locals use all year round.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
