Florence Shopping
|
|
Most major cities in Italy have
a distinct reputation for shopping, and Florence is no exception.
If you intend on shopping in Florence, you must visit the Ponte
Vecchio, or “Old Bridge.” Since the late sixteenth
century, the street on this bridge has been known for its jewelry
shops. Windows are often self-illuminated by the great amount
of shining gold jewelry on display. Apart from the Ponte Vecchio,
there are several other areas around Florence that cater to
various shoppers. |
Throughout the city you will find markets that sell an assortment
of trinkets and memorabilia. However, if you are interested in high
fashion, take a stroll down the posh Via de Tornabuoni, where you
can find designer boutiques, such as Gucci, Versace, Bvlgari, and
Ferragamo.
