Question

Is December a good time for shopping in Italy?

Answer 1

it depends on what you mean for "good"... if you mean cheap, the answer is NO! fors sales you have to come here in january, after the 8 i think.

but if you mean fun and full of things, then YES, december is the best month to go shopping!

christmas fills shops with every kind of object and new collections of dresses, shoes, bags...

plus... it's so lovely walking around and watching products here in milan, with your hand in your lover's one!

Answer 2

You can usually shop very good after the 6th of january. We have special discounts in Italy, and you will find everything from 20% to 60% less than before.

Answer 11

it depends on what you mean for "good time", the sales always begin in january after 6th. December is Christmas shopping month and the prices are bit high.

Answer 12

We were recently vacationing by Lake Gardesee, and they advertised a lot of Christmas festivals, where shopping was one of the features.

Check the towns flea markets-these have new and used items, and are inexpensive.  I live in Germany, and in a small town, we cannot get name brand clothes, but I found a lot of name brand things that were pretty inexpensive.  The English people were going crazy-they bought so much!

Answer 13

hi.....I'm Italian......i think that is good time for shopping on genuary and august...

Answer 14

after 6 january is better... there are discounts...

Answer 15

December absoloutly is a bad period for shopping, as it is so close to Christmas...

Our winter sales usually start in January, after the 6th, but the actual date depends on each region!

Approximatively they all start during the week after january, 6th!

The more you wait after this date, the bigger will be the discounts, but, of course, you will have less choice ;-)

Answer 16

any time is a good time ,Italian shoes..oh yes please....

Answer 17

any time is good really! but don't go too close to Christmas, cuz us Italians have a habit of doing everything at the last minute, especially Xmas gifts!!! If you go in the

beginning/middle of the month it will be perfect, cuz all the shops will have their best stuff out, and the holiday craze won't have started yet. Good Luck!
