Perhaps you can answer "yes", although there are a number of nuances . If you are dreaming to save money, then it's better not to make purchases in shops where prices are quite high, but in outlets outside the city . Among them Barberino Designer Outlet, I Gigli and even the whole village of Valdichiana Outlet Village . D & G Outlet and Prada Outlet are located in Florence itself . But the much-advertised Mall Outlet tourists do not really like for the prices, comparable to the boutiques of the city . They are mostly located on the streets of Via dei Tornabuoni and Via della Vigna Nuova, where you can easily find the whole line fashion brands . Prices for clothes and shoes at the Roman level, but the assortment is more victorious . But retro-gimmicks (every second Sunday of the month on Market Piazza Santo Spirito), souvenirs (Via Cerretani street) and jewelery (Ponte bridge Vecchio - 44 jewelry stores!) In Florence excellent . If you want to plunge into the national color in addition to shopping, visit the markets of San Lorenzo, in the square in the center, next to Mercato Centrale, and Mercato delle Cascine near the park .
