Italy is a shopper’s paradise with its many small beautifully displayed and brightly lit shops. In the big towns you can spend a day window-shopping and admiring the many items that you can buy. In between the shops there are various cafes and ice cream parlours that have an incredible assortment of snacks and ice cream, all artistically laid out. In the smaller villages there are more traditional shops that offer a quaint setting and give you a good feel for the traditional Tuscany way of village life.
