ABOVE: Souvenir stands in Florence, Italy.

Florence is a great town for shoppers, thanks to a seemingly limitless supply of department stores, boutiques, and markets. Hours vary, but in the heart of the city, you won't have trouble finding shops that are open at lunchtime or on weekends.

Tip: Be cautious about buying fake designer handbags, sunglasses, and other knock-offs from street vendors. Purchasing counterfeit goods is illegal, and clueless tourists occasionally get hit with massive fines.
