The good news is that the entire downtown is a huge shopping paradise – you can find almost all well-known brands within the pedestrian zone.
If you’re hunting for something specific, it might help to know that most of the large and well-known brands are located between Piazza Unità d’Italia and Canal Grande, while smaller boutiques, young designer shops, and bohemian items can be found on the other side of Piazza Unità, around the Cavana pedestrian street and its surroundings.
You can buy high-end items at the Coin department store, and there’s also Sephora, Paul and Shark, Gucci, and Prada on and around Corso Italia.
You can find more affordable brands in the neighboring UPIM department store, and it’s worth visiting OVS on Viale XX Settembre as well.
Pro tip: visit the Lollipop Factory, which you can find at Via Dante 2, next to the Coin department store! Here you can find truly unique items!
If you’re specifically interested in local designers and handcrafted items, plan your trip around the Barbacan Produce market.
