Florence outlets are a hotspot for shopping enthusiasts. These top luxury outlet shops are filled with a dizzying array of big brand names and even bigger discounts. You’re sure to be spoiled for choice.
The Mall – The best of Florence Outlets
This famous outdoor outlet is the closest to Florence and very easy to get to. You’ll find a great choice of high fashion brands such as: Armani, Moschino, Cavalli, Ferragamo, Ermenegildo Zegna, Tom Ford, Versace and Valentino to name but a few. Prada and Gucci have their own two storey building where you can lose yourself amongst gorgeous clothes, shoes, bags and all sorts of accessories. It’s spacious, neat and very easy to walk around.
This is a shopping nirvana if ever there was one. There are bargains galore. You’ll find the prices are on average 50% cheaper than a boutique. There’s a great selection of new and old collections with better prices. But bear in mind that these are all high fashion brands and “cheap” can be relative. Our advice is to go early in the morning and try and avoid crowds (it’s the most popular of all Tuscan outlets and can get crowded, especially in Summer). It might be a good idea to bring your own food as the choice of cafes and restaurant is very limited. There is a Tax refund office for non-European Union residents.
THE MALL OUTLET CENTRE IS LOCATED IN VIA EUROPA 8, LECCIO REGGELLO (FI) 50066

Apart from the Florence outlets, there’s another very pleasant open-air one in Montevarchi 50 kilometres from Florence on the way to Arezzo. It has the bonus of a playground and plenty of cafes and restaurants (delicious local food, and a MacDonald’s if you have to) that make things easier if you’re travelling with kids.
