Shopping is something that everyone enjoys, and if you get discounts in your shopping then there cannot be anything better than this. Around the world, there are many cities, which give the opportunity for some mindless shopping like:
Bangkok, Thailand
From high-quality silk to jewelry, traditional crafts to tailor-made suits, Bangkok showcases everything. Thailand’s capital city is considered to be one of the best shopping cities in Asia. You can ‘shop till you drop’ in any of the city’s malls. However, the 35 acre Chatuchak Market stands apart from the rest. You can get clothes, home goods, art, multi-colored chickens or live roosters and pythons. Imagine bringing home one of these unique items!
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The most beautiful city of Latin America is also the best place for shopping. Most of the popular shops are located in Microcentro (downtown) along the streets of Calle Florida and Calle Lavalle. There are chain stores in these places along with boutique shops. The city is boastful of its high-quality goods. Buy beautiful handbags, shoes, jackets and many more from the leather district of the city.
If you were looking for a new wardrobe or classy home décor then the capital of Denmark would be the best place for shopping. You can shop items of popular local designers like Munthe and Simonsen in Gronnegade, while the Stroget and Kobmagergade will give the opportunity to shop products of Prada, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. The other shopping departments are Det Ny Illum and Magasin du Nord. If you are looking for top electronic products such as a Bang & Olufsen stereo, Ostergade would be the best section of town and for Georg Jensen’s home accessories, glassware and porcelain, go to the Holmegaard.
From street markets to designer boutiques to mega malls, Hong Kong offers you everything. If you are looking for jade, you will find it here, maybe you have your eye on silk, you will still get it here – in fact you can get the latest technology products here too. The outlets of local designers Vivienne Tam, William Tang and Walter Ma as well as the streets full of vendors like Li Yuen East and West, Stanley Market are all very popular. You can buy your favorite porcelain vases or silk garments and Chinese artwork in the market areas. Some 400 stalls display green gems in the Jade market in Yau Ma Tai.
London
Are you looking for some trendy boutiques of Convent Garden? Then the place to drop in would be Sloane Street. For buying a tailored suit, Saville Row is the best and for a tailored shirt, what can come in mind other than Jermyn Street? Maybe you are thinking about some extravagant shopping in Camden Market or shops on Oxford Street and the Portobello Market. Wondering of buying some foodstuffs? Then visit Fortnum and Mason for teas, biscuits, cheeses and much more. London is a great shoppers delight that never runs out of options.
