Top Five Malls in Davao City

These are the five shopping malls in Davao City, Philippines. There are many other establishments in Davao but I think these are the top 5.

[5]Victoria Plaza

From Davao City International Airport, this is the nearest mall. I ranked it fifth because it's not anymore appealing to most people in Davao. In the late 90's, Victoria Plaza is the most popular mall in Davao. Now, it is still famous for having cheaper goods and for being accessible since it's right in the middle of the city.

[4]Gaisano South

Also known as JS citymall, G-south is tallest among the five malls in this top list. This 5-story building is the nearest from Davao City Hall. Being in the downtown area, it is also very accessible. Around G-south, you can find a lot of hotels, inns, fast food restaurants, hospital, and a park.

[3]NCCC Mall of Davao

It's the second and bigger NCCC in Davao. NCCC also have branches in different Davao provinces plus Palawan. In NCCC Davao you can enjoy watching movies in four of their cinemas. You can also opt to try their bowling alley if you want. The location of NCCC is not ideal. The atmosphere is upscale. The structure is simple. You won't get lost.

[2]Gaisano Mall of Davao

I think the owner of G-mall and G-south are cousins. Aside from these two Gaisanos, There are also other Gaisano establishments in the entire Davao region.

Gaisano Mall is the mall for the people. It's atmosphere and appearance say so. This 4-story building is located not very far from Victoria Plaza. It is surrounded by five different colleges so you should expect that you will see lots of students. You can also enjoy their cinema. There are six. If you want to buy groceries, you can go to the basement. All in all, there are 5 different floors to check. You can also enjoy the site in the atrium from different floors.

[1]SM City Davao

Also not in an ideal location but SM City Davao is one of the good to go malls I knew. To be honest, I don't enjoy going there but the atmosphere is not that heavy to carry. It's the only mall that makes me lost. It has a left and a right wing plus another wing in the middle, which if you are not familiar with the stores, you will not know which wing you are in. There are 3 cinemas each in both left and right wings. Contrary to the other malls, when you enter SM, the boy's entrance is on the right and not left.
