Shopping while your on holiday can be a highlight for some people, but sometimes it’s hard to break free from the touristy shops selling postcards and overpriced knick-knacks. Depending on where you’re traveling from, international shopping is often something to take advantage of, because you might be exposed to brands that you wouldn’t be able to get at home, or get your favourite brands at a cheaper pricepoint.
Outlets are great places to utilize while abroad and often times they’ll be featured in tourists brochures and advertised at hotels and hostels. They’re often easy to access, with bus companies and local public transport option being relatively easy to access and navigate your way through.
Department stores can be helpful because it’s likely a familiar format with brands that you might not be used to being able to shop with such ease. You’ll be able to get help from product specialists and see/try what you buy before you do.
Research where great shopping is! It’s often a little off the tourist beaten track, but the rewards for your efforts will be great!
