European shopping. Where? When? Why?

Shopping in Europe is a place where everyone can easily feel the pulse of each town. Especially when it comes to sales and big discounts, which will not leave anyone indifferent, since this process is not only pleasant, but also necessary.

During sales, for several days, prices in stores are falling rapidly, which makes shopping not only an exciting process, but also profitable.

The most popular places for shopping in Europe are, of course: Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, London, Berlin, Prague and others.

As for inexpensive shopping, it's: the Czech Republic and Germany, although not everyone can find here something suitable for themselves. But still, even Europeans themselves often go shopping to Germany. But also many people know that in Prague there are several outlet centers where discounts are always welcome, therefore many tourists choose this city including due to profitable shopping.

Another of the budget places for shopping is Palermo, as the prices there are an order of magnitude lower, and one can find branded quality items at a good price.

But for lovers of pampering themselves with luxury branded goods, Milan is suitable. But we must bear in mind that there are many such lovers among the Italians themselves, and if you take into consideration the sales, it is better to do it in the first days, otherwise it will only be left with the remnants of "luxury". Since in this period the shops are simply crowded with visitors. As for the other cities in Italy, so there is a slightly simpler picture, but still similar to Milan.

And of course the incomparable Paris, which will please its visitors with quality, beautiful things. If you are confused by the prices in the capital, then you can go to one of the towns of France, which are famous for their prices for branded, quality things. One of the most popular and largest outlets in Paris is the village of La Vallée Village. Where are more than 100 boutiques of famous brands.

And if earlier the word "village" (village) was associated exclusively with a village, a wooden house, today this word means a European boutique town, a village, an outlet where you will get the products of world famous designers with a significant discount of about 60-70 %. And the most important charm of these towns is that discounts there are not only a couple of times a year during sales, but operate throughout the year. And that means - if you want to update your wardrobe, you do not need to wait for sales, but you can do it whenever you like.

Remember also that shops in Europe have a TAX FREE service, which means refunding VAT tax to buyers who are not citizens of that country. The main condition - the purchase should be worth about 100 euros and more. At the same time, about 14-17% of the purchase amount is returned. Thus, European shopping is not only branded clothes. Here you often buy electronics: laptops, tablets, cell phones. And also jewelry and watches. On how the procedure for the return of TAX FREE in the Czech Republic is going on - read here.
