Foreign shopping begins in world capitalsfashion - in Rome and Milan. This is where all the fashionistas go in search of inexpensive branded items: shoes, clothes and accessories.

Sales throughout the country begin on the same day, usually the first Saturday of January, and last for two months. Do not be afraid that all the most stylish things will be bought up by resourceful Europeans - in Italy, they never put all the available goods on the counter at once, so even a couple of weeks after the start of the sale, the assortment will not decrease. Moreover, over time, discounts grow! If in January the discount on, say, shoes you liked was 30%, then by mid-February it can change to 70%. Things that are always in great demand in Italy are, of course, shoes, bags, leather goods, and cashmere. You should look for them in boutiques on the main shopping streets: in Milan these are Corso Buenos Aires and Montenapoleone, and in Rome – Via del Coso and Piazza del Popolo. It will be cheaper to get to Rome and Milan with a transfer in Chisinau, Helsinki, Istanbul or Amsterdam. Connecting flights from Moscow to Rome will cost about 14 thousand rubles, to Milan – about 17 thousand rubles. Spain. The grand winter sale in sunny Spain begins on January 6. Of course, the most popular cities during this period are Madrid and Barcelona, since in these cities you can not only enjoy a beach holiday and the beauty of past centuries, but also visit the best boutiques in the country.
