Is shopping in Florence expensive?

Definitely not going there to find out.

Answer 3

No but shopping WITH Florence is.

Answer 4

It depends what you are shopping for.

I bought some serving dishes that were very reasonable, and also some leather items when I went to the Leather School. friend of mine bought a gold necklace for much less than it would have been in the USA. Go on a Florence website and look up shops and bargain suggestions. Don;t miss the little shops along the Ponte Vecchio. And touch the old stones of the plaza fountain for me.
