Nobody can resist a bargain and, although you may only be here for a short time, don’t forget that January is dedicated to the “saldi” or sales. Some stores offer a selection of items, others absolutely everything. Not all the haute couture stores bother with them, but those that do, offer really classy goods at very tempting prices...

Therefore, on your way back to your hotel from sightseeing, you should keep your eyes glued to all the shop windows you pass and be ready to stop and rush inside, to grab the object of your desire! Naturally most of the sales are in clothes and shoe stores so, if you are also buying gifts to take home, carefully check the sizes as it’s not always possible to change your sales purchase, and certainly difficult if you live overseas!

Don’t forget that quality shopping means quality saving during the January sales!
