The best fashion and gift stores - Emilia-Romagna in 2024

Practical information : Treat yourself (& others) Emilia-Romagna

Timetable

Whilst supermarkets and international brand stores remain open without interruption from 9am to 8pm, small shops take a break from 12.30pm to 1pm to 3.30pm to 4pm. They are generally open from Monday to Saturday, but some stores in the big cities are also open on Sundays, even if this day is generally a day off.

Budget & Tips

We can only recommend that you stock up on good gourmet products: delicatessen, parmesan, balsamic vinegar, wine... Shopping at the source, i.e. directly from the producer, allows you to have more advantageous prices than if you go to a shop or shop online since you avoid the middlemen. In addition, you will have the opportunity to taste the products you buy. Of course, the problem will be to find the necessary space in your luggage if you are not by car. Ask the producer to deliver the package directly to your home

Sales

In Italy, the winter sales start at the beginning of January, at the end of the Christmas holidays, on the Monday following or the last weekend of the holidays, and then run until the end of February or the beginning of March. In summer, the sales start at the beginning of July and end in mid-August. In recent years, Italy has adopted black friday, a commercial event that comes to us from the United States and takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving in November

Tourist traps

The destination being less touristy than Venice or Florence, souvenir shops are not legion. However, T-shirts with the effigy of the region, snow globes and magnets made in China are well present on the shelves of the shops. If it's tempting to bring back a gadget from your holiday, favour local and authentic items to encourage the region's economy.
