Find the best shopping
Shop Asian night markets and Europe’s top luxury department stores, as well as smaller, off-the-beaten-path outposts, where you’re guaranteed to take home one-of-a-kind items. We’ll even help you decide what to buy: we’ve selected a team of experienced travelers, all with impeccable taste, to scour every boutique shop, outdoor bazaar, and vintage retailer. The result of their searches are written out in handy shopping guides, categorized by city and type of item (fashion, beauty, travel accessories, and more).
Pick the best souvenir
Sometimes, all that matters is tracking down one truly unique, inspired gift. With our guides to the best shopping, take a piece of your trip home with you. Hone in on souvenirs that tell a story about their destination. Whether it’s an essential perfume shop in Paris, the best pickled peaches in Atlanta, or Hawaii’s most sought-after seashell jewelry, we’ll send you off bursting with ideas about what to bring home. Whatever your interests, our extensive coverage on boutique shops and artisan studios will have you buying extra luggage just to accommodate all your new purchases.
