Les meilleures boutiques mode et cadeaux Florence - Firenze

Timetable

Stores generally open from 10am to 1pm and from 4pm to 7:30pm. Shopkeepers often rest on Mondays, and in summer they add Sundays.

Budget & Tips

From luxury to bargain, you'll find it all in Florence! The "^Ve Avenue" is via dei Tornabuoni, where the top brands (Armani, Gucci, Versace...) take center stage. For those looking for designer labels at discount prices: Barberino di Mugello Outlet outside Florence. For thrift shops, our favorite is the San Lorenzo market.

Sales

Sale dates are decided by region in Italy. As in France, there are two main periods: winter (early January for almost 2 months) and summer (early July).

What's very local

Gastronomic delicacies, hand-painted ceramics, a leather bag, a perfume from the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (a pharmacy dating back to the ^16th century), a designer lamp... Much more than a souvenir, take home a little piece of the Italian way of life!

From Florence to the small, isolated villages of Tuscany, alimentari, or general food stores, are places where you can find good products in a short circuit. In the face of shopping malls, these small grocery stores resist by offering basic necessities (from bread to sewing thread), home delivery, sandwich preparation at lunchtime, and above all, a personalized welcome. Grocers always call their customers by their first name.

Tourist traps

Many visitors are interested in the jewelry sold on the Ponte Vecchio and its tiny stalls. But the opportunity to find a bargain here has long since vanished!
