Monaco: shopping on Sunday Monaco

by gwened

if you are coming off a cruise in the period July 1st to September 16 2012 the businesses can open on Sundays for 7 consecutive sundays as per law.The rest of the time if ok by the UCAM ,union des commerçants et artisans de Monaco. Some do get ok if gear to the more touristic crowd like those around the Casino.I would research the stores I really would like to visit and contact them ahead of time. Time is valuable especially when we are traveling. You can do it here even if in French,write in English they will understand you.http://www.visitmonaco.com/fr/ContactHope it helps many as you wish, but more expensive than France more

Tourist shops.: Vikings.

by Dizzyhead

When you visit all the Scandinavian shops and tourist places, you will find that they sell many different kind of products about the vikings. The vikings is a good marketing thing for the Scandinavian countries (sweden, denmark and Norway, but I also include in this Iceland here.)

Drosselgasse: Renowned Shopping Streets: Ruedesheim

by Maryimelda

Possibly Ruedesheim's greatest claim to fame, the Drosselgasse is a wonderful little (and I mean little) street which was originally used as a pathway for the fishermen and other sailors on the Rhine to move between the river and their homes or other destinations in the area.It is extremely popular as a tourist destination and the throngs can be seen there at any given time. I was lucky to call in at a time when there weren't as many people as I was expecting to find, but I could easily understand why this little shopping street is so very popular with visitors.It is full of that wonderful charm that is exclusive to Germany. Here you will find lots of great little shops selling clothes, bags, souvenirs and all manner and means of local craft. It is also chock full of great cafes, bars, beerhalls and the like. And the oom-pah-pah music in the street is a delight to hear.

Magee's of Donegal Town: Old fashioned service

by Maryimelda

I love to go to Donegal Town to shop. The atmosphere is so amazing there. Probably the most renowned shop in the town is Magees right in The Diamond. Magees is famous for its beautiful Donegal Tweed clothing and accessories, not to mention Irish Linen, Waterford crystal and a wonderful restaurant as well. The Donegal Tweed is still woven on the premises to a small extent. The original loom is still in working order. My two friends bought quite a few items of clothing at Magee's the last time I was there and whilst they waited for their alterations to be completed, the sales clerk took us out to the tiny museum where the loom is housed and fired it up to show us how it's done. What a treat that was.

AUSTRIA: Designer Outlet Parndorf: Shop till you drop !

by globetrott

There is no ovious reason to go to Parndorf EXCEPT for the Designer-Outlet !Shopping is the one and only thing you can do in the Designeroutlet Parndorf : the old village of Parndorf is in a distance of 2-3 km, and it even has a seperate exit on the highway. The shops in the Designeroutlet are in a wide row of houses and I guess you need at least 1 hour to pass by all of these shops and taking a look at just the first offers that you can see through the windows.You will not only find fashion-shops but also luggage like Samsonite etc. you will find photo- and computershops like Niedermayer and even Beate Uhse ( everybody in Austria knows what kind of a shop that is, and for the others I am NOT going to explain...)In the designeroutlet Parndorf you will find150 different shops with more than 600 different lablesit is open daily except sundays and holidays !!Monday till Friday : 09.30a.m....

Rothenburg - Käthe Wolfahrts Weihnachtsdorf: Christmas-shopping all over the year

by globetrott

Käthe Wohlfahrts Weihnachtsdorf in Rothenburg ob der Tauber / Germany is one of the very few places in Europe, where you may buy Christmas-decorations ALL year long !! Its a place for all those, you need some X-mas-feeling not only a few days during the year, and mostly you will see just japanese and American tourists there, who cannot get such typical german handcraf-articles in their own homecountries. Prices are a bit higher maybe that in other places - but There they are available only for a few weeks before X-mas.
