Its the “time of your life” occasion in Florence! The shopping spree has begun! Its the month to dedicate yourselves to all the shopping one can do. The prices come down to a very discreet level, that allows us to buy more than the normal “T-shirt a month” plan.
The difference on the streets is easily noticeable. The crowd are not only scattered around the museums and art galleries, at big posters of 50% sale, not many can resist, after all we are in Italy! Let me help you divide the zones for you, to simplify your search.
For those after the top Brands like Armani, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, rush to Via Tornabuoni, the porch area of Florence.
For the other shoppers after quality but not necessarily the “brand name” , there are vast options all around the city centre. Shopping on the outskirts of the center can make you bump into interesting shops like beyond Piazza Baccaria. Leather bags of all kinds with a right mix of famous and upcoming brands.
Now its time to take you to another level. You have a chance to lay your hands on brands like CK, Gucci and many more at a discounted price! Oh yes, there are Malls situated around Florence. Barberino Outlet and The Mall Outlet are the just the outlets for you. The former is easily accessible entering in the highway from North Florence while the later can be reached entering the highway from South Florence.
There are even SITA buses that provides transport to these outlets. Mall tours offer afternoon trips as well. The trip takes off at 1400 hours from the terminal 10 of the SITA station. A four and a half hours duration and a cost of 28 Euros will distract you enough to get back fresh into the explorations of Florentine’s art and culture.
