skill

Shopping in Italy, you can use VISA credit card, savings card, Alipay (credit card sometimes takes more than ten minutes when the network is bad, but it takes only ten seconds to pay with Alipay, but not every store can use Alipay) and other payment methods are very convenient. Try to avoid bringing a lot of cash into the country, or you may be fined or even confiscated by the local customs!

Shops in Italy usually open at 10 in the morning and close at 7: 30 in the evening;

You can only get a tax refund if you spend more than 156 euros in the same store (the tax refund rate is 12- 15%), so remember to ask for a tax refund form.

Seasonal exclusive reminder

Please keep the payment receipt of discounted shopping in the current season to prevent the merchants from manipulating the price. In addition, don't blindly consume because of the low price.

Be sure to buy your own size: many brands have extremely low discounts, but they don't have their own size. Many people always buy clothes to go home with the unrealistic idea of "buying a smaller size and slimming it down before wearing it", but they ignore that "slimming down" takes at least half a year or even longer. By the time they really lose weight, their clothes have long been forgotten in the corner of the wardrobe.
