The Best Places To Shop In Europe On Your Summer Holidays!
If you are a woman or even a man, you probably love to shop. Some people say pish posh when it comes to shopping in another country, but I love it. You get to buy things you might not otherwise see in your usual place of residency. When you visit Europe for your holiday destinations, depending on where you are going for your low cost holidays, there are going to be dozens of places you can visit.
Everything from “strip” malls, to marketplaces, to antiques and much more. Actually, I think antiques is almost a given as far as shopping goes because you are definitely going to find stuff you will ever see anyplace else! Here are a few shopping places you can check out for your holidays 2011:
– Galerie Michael Schultz: This well-established gallery represents such contemporary German hot shots as AR Penck and Georg Baselitz. It also works with internationally well-known Berlin-based figurative painters of the next generation, including Cornelia Schleime, SEO and R?mer + R?mer, a Russian-German artist couple that we’ve interviewed.
– Bric a Brac: Hidden up a narrow lane behind the T?n church, this is a wonderfully cluttered cave of old household items and glassware and toys and apothecary jars and 1940s leather jackets and cigar boxes and typewriters and stringed instruments and… Despite the junkie look of the place, the knick-knacks are surprisingly expensive; there are two ‘showrooms’, a small one on T?nsk?, and a larger one in a nearby courtyard (follow the signs), and the affable Serbian owner can give you a guided tour around every piece in his extensive collection.
– Coco Ribbon: Coco Ribbon is so girly, even Barbie might feel a tad butch when walking into this award-winning boutique. There are chiffon dresses and faux-fur gilets, Calypso Rose’s customisable Clippy Kit handbags, light-hearted words of wisdom for newlyweds or new parents and, for your broken-hearted gal pals, ‘boyfriend replacement’ kits (sugar pills and chocolate, of course).
– Gloria Astolfo: Take your fashion cues from Venetian painting masterpieces at this Venetian bead artisan’s showcase. Garlands of beaded tiger lilies make open-necked T-shirts instantly glamorous, and those baroque pearl earrings would gently tickle your shoulders if you started to nod off at La Fenice. Prices starting at ?35 are surprisingly down-to-earth for jewellery this original, especially so close to Piazza San Marco.
– Sali Pazari: On Tuesday there is a massive market in Kadk?y, on the Asian side: the Sali Pazari. The cheapest clothes in town are on sale here, so if you’ve been on the road for a while and your underwear needs replenishing, this is the place to do it! To get there, get off the ferry and move straight ahead along the major boulevard of S??tl??eme Caddesi for about 500m until you come to a busy intersection, Altyol Square.
