'The main town square and the busiest area of Shimla, the Mall is in many ways the heart of the city with its offerings of food, shopping and general leisure. Vehicles are banned here so it is a great place for locals and tourists to let down their hair and relax. The Mall is filled with stores selling local handcrafted products, jewelry, woolens, branded goods, culinary delicacies, eateries and cafes, and lots more. Most of the important and iconic colonial structures are also around the Mall area, making it all the more convenient for tourists. As soon as you arrive at Shimla, this is where you should head to. '
