Question

when is the best time to shop / sale season in italy?

do big-name designer shops also go on sale?

also, which towns are best to go to for shopping? we're looking to tour italy so we can basically consider any town! :) thanks!

Answer 1

The best time is a week or two before Christmas.

Yes, designer things also go on sale.

Try Milano, Firenza and Roma - they have good shopping centers, but also some small shops where you can buy many things you can't in big stores.

Answer 2

There are two “end of season sales” periods in Italy:

- Winter sales on January;

- Summer sales on July.

Sales generally start on the first Saturday of these two months, but every region is different.

This year in Milan, Lombardia region, sales started on January the 5th and July the 5th.

Yes, big-name designer shops also go on sale!

Note that if you want to come to Italy for shopping you don’t have to wait too long after these dates, because the best items sell like crazy straight after the first days of sales!!

The best city for shopping in Italy is Milan and the most famous streets for fashion are “Via Montenapoleone” and “Via della Spiga”.

Answer 3

the best time is before christmas or now in summer from end june to august... Rome and Milan are full of shops where you can find whatever you want!!! Florence and Bologna are also good city for do shopping!!
