Most outlets offer discounts of 30% to 70% on past-season collections, samples, or overstock items. However, not everything is a bargain, and sizes can be limited. If you\u2019re flexible and willing to browse, you can find excellent deals\u2014especially at larger outlets near Florence, Milan, and Rome.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_best_time_of_year_to_visit_outlet_malls_in_Italy\"><\/span>What\u2019s the best time of year to visit outlet malls in Italy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best times to shop are during additional sale periods, typically in January\u2013February and July\u2013August, when outlets may apply extra discounts on already reduced prices. Weekdays are also a smart choice, as weekends can get busy with both locals and tourists, especially at popular destinations like Serravalle Designer Outlet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_tourists_claim_VAT_refunds_when_shopping_at_outlets_in_Italy\"><\/span>Can tourists claim VAT refunds when shopping at outlets in Italy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, non-EU visitors can usually claim VAT refunds (around 10\u201315%) on eligible purchases, even at outlet stores. To do this, ask for a tax-free form at the time of purchase and present it at the airport when leaving the EU. Just keep in mind that rules may differ slightly if you shop outside Italy, such as at FoxTown Factory Stores, where Swiss customs regulations apply.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that once you&#8217;ve scratched the shopping itch, Florence, Milan, and Rome have a lot of other things to do.\u00a0Check out some of our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/walksofitaly.com\/blog\/?s=florence\">blogs on Florence<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/walksofitaly.com\/blog\/?s=milan\">blogs on Milan<\/a>, <\/strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/walksofitaly.com\/blog\/?s=rome\">blogs on Rome<\/a><\/strong> to get ideas for other experiences in these incredible cities.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019ve got Italian designers on the brain, but can\u2019t burn more on that handbag than you did on your flight over here, there&#8217;s a solution: Italy&#8217;s best outlet malls.
