Shopping

After having experienced the shopping opportunities in the area, many look forward to a rainy day. Not that you really need an excuse, considering the range and quality the shops have to offer.

Udine is of course packed with great shops of all kinds and sizes, but you don’t have to go that far.

The main road to Udine is one 15km long shopping street with giant warehouses and shops, selling everything from designer kitchens to lawn movers (there is for instance a 2000sq meter shoe shop, and a shop with around a 1000 different pair of designer sunglasses where prescription sunglasses are made in 10 minutes).

There is also a large Carrefour.

The list is endless, and after 3 years (a little like the restaurants), we have still only tried a third of the places we would like to visit.

Some of the very large clothing stores that sells designer clothes, have half-price sale 4 months a year.

A shop called Citta-Fiera, about 2 km north west of Udine , is a huge indoor shopping mall with more than a 100 shops, a giant super market, restaurants and a cinema.
