Markets, boutiques, and espressos on the piazza: summer shopping breaks in northern Italy

Northern Italy is not only a popular destination because of its impressive sights and attractions. It is also a haven for shopping lovers who are crazy about finding bargains, hunting for trinkets, and finding delightful souvenirs. Porlezza, a charming town in the Lombardy region, is a great place to discover. Here, you will find its Saturday market a pure delight, from the display of local artisan products to the latest fashion styles in clothes and accessories. Luino is another place for excellent shopping comparable to boutiques. Its Wednesday market is the largest on the lake with an incredible range of products to choose from. After a full day of shopping, take a break on the piazza for some people-watching and that perfect cup of espresso. Shop to your heart’s content and discover regional flavours at the local restaurants. Throw a bit of sightseeing on the side and visit the Church of San Vittore or the charming lakefront with a magnificent view of Lake Lugano.
