Features: This book compiles the author's years of global shopping experience, recommending the best shopping routes in more than 20 important cities, including what to buy and where to shop locally. It covers the most cost-effective places to buy clothes, antiques, luggage, red wine, and carpets. It also discusses duty-free shopping, buying airline tickets, and tips for purchasing cruise vacations. Shopping is an inevitable and major activity for many people when traveling abroad. Some world-famous shopping cities have become tourist hotspots that people return to repeatedly. If you visit Milan for sightseeing, perhaps one trip is enough. But if you go for shopping, some people believe you can visit it a hundred times and never get tired. Paris remains unchanged, but the products in the stores are constantly updated. These "shopping cities" can attract tourists to return again and again. To become a world-class shopping city is no simple task. Shopping cities must combine the dual advantages of "wide shopping choices" and "reasonable prices," along with excellent tourism facilities and safe conditions to attract visitors. This book introduces the shopping situation in more than 20 places, mentions important shopping cities, and discusses what is best to buy in those places and in which key stores to shop.
