We were on Christmas holidays and in Milan and in Venice with a difference in a few days. So, I can quite authoritatively argue that shopping in Milan is an order of magnitude better than in Venice. Only Buenos Aires Street in Milan is able to eclipse the entire Venice in the number of stores and selling goods. You can stay on "Bayres" forever.
Yes, there are many shops in Venice. They offer a good choice of bags, clothes, shoes. You can really count on certain discounts. But all this is absolutely not compared with Milan, where the variety of products turn the head to anyone, not only a shopaholic. Looking at this time on prices in the season of discounts, in general, I want to buy everything. Therefore, I believe that if the purpose of your journey is not only Venice, then do not waste your precious time on shopping, inspect the sights of the city. Moreover, prices here are not the most ideal in Italy.
I really confirm the fact that in Mestre (suburb of Venice) there are several good shopping centers and small outlet, in which you can purchase products of world-famous brands, such as Armani, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Cloe and others. It is unlikely that you can count on big discounts when purchasing such goods, but it is truly chic things. For example, the Skirt "Barberry" cost us at 175 euros (though, then with this purchase we returned Tax Free 21 euros).
I can advise one very interesting shopping center for shopping. It is called - " Designer Outlet Novent-Di Piave "(" Noventa Di Piave Designer Outlet "). This outlet is not quite in Venice, but not far away, just half an hour from the city (or about an hour from Padua, if anyone is interested). "Novent-Di-Poyava" offers visitors unique shopping opportunities. Here on a relatively small territory there are a lot of shopping. There is an opportunity to purchase products from different brands, including world-famous brands with a discount from 35% to 70%. It is in this place that you can join the latest fashion trends!
You will warmly open your doors Armani, Burberry, Diesel, Escada, Geox, Hugo Boss, Prada, Timberland, TrusSardi, Valentino and many others. You can also appreciate the goods of other Italian designers.
In addition to the impressive variety of clothing, shoes and accessories, here everyone will find the widest range of cosmetics and perfumery, modern sports goods and elegant homemade items, underwear and jewelry, as well as food and beverages. Not bypassed and small buyers: there are 7 pavilions with children's goods. You are waiting for real designer shopping in the best of its manifestation, full of pleasant surprises and enjoyment from pleasant shopping. You can walk in this shopping center indefinitely. But there are a lot of people here: everyone wants to dress fashionably.
"Designer Outlet Novent-Di Piave" is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00. It consists of several long rows and semicircular galleries in which there are several hundred shops and pavilions. Outlet as it should be swollen in a circle, but there are several inputs / outlets. There is an ATM, a taxonophone, toilets, a changing table, a center of information and a large playground on the street. Free Wifi-Internet is also available throughout the shopping center.
It is more convenient to get to the outlet, of course, on your car. Only the first time you do not know the road and the right congress, it's not easy to get here. I would say that we were accidentally found him. Now I can suggest the following. The shopping center is slightly away from the route Venice - Trieste (A4), the congress on Noventa Di Piave. Further will not be mistaken.
Outlet has a huge free parking for cars.
If you need accurate information for your GPS navigator, I will also tell me. Address: noventa di piave, Via Marco Polo, 1.
You can reach the train. Sit on the train Venice - Trieste, go out at San Don Jesolo stations and transplanted for bus number 21.
Residents and guests of Venice can get in Noventi Di-Piave by the Shuttle bus. Shuttle runs daily. It departs from Venice from Piazzale Tronchetto (in front of People Mover) at 10:00 and 14:00. As follows, it makes stop at Piazzale Lazzaro Giovannacci, Marghera (VE) at 10:20 and 14:20. Back to Venice, the Shuttle leaves from the center "Novent-Di-Poya" at 15:00 and 19:00 with a stop at Piazzale Lazzaro Giovannacci, respectively at 15:30 and 19:30.
The fare is back there and back is 15 euros. If you wish, tickets to the shuttle can be booked in advance.
Well, and do not forget. When buying goods in one store in the amount of 155 euros and above, you can count on the return of VAT (Tax Free). To do this, you are presented to the seller passport and ask for a special Tax FREE form. Next - as usual.
As they say, love fashion, enjoy life.
