"Illum, the city's oldest department store, opened in 1891, and has a wide range of high-end fashion, jewelry, and beauty products. Here, you'll find everyone from ladies who lunch to travelers running in to restock their favorite mascara to back-to-school families picking out sneakers for the little ones. Don't leave without perusing the Illum Beauty Hall—it's an institution in itself." - Bridget Arsenault
