Shopping in Ancona
February 7, 2009
Laden with magnificent coastlines and pristine white sand beaches, you’ll likely be coming to Mancona for the water. It won’t be surprising, however, if shopping becomes a secondary pastime during your stay.
A port city, Ancona sees a variety of goods scattered along its numerous shopping areas such as Piazza Roma, Piazza Erbe, Corso Mazzini, Corso Stamira, Corso Garibaldi, and Piazza del Plebiscito. Pick up all sorts of products from shoes to bags to jewelries of different varieties, often bartered at tempting prices.
Traditional shops sit side by side with modern fare so you’ll likely be coming across art pieces, antiques and pottery while putting together an outfit among the lot of stores scattered about. Every last Sunday of the month is a special treat for antique lovers at the Piazza Cavour, where various dealers showcase their elegant wares.
If you’re angling for high-end fashion purchases, take a 40 minute drive in your car hire from Ancona to Civitanova Marche. Bring home signature clothes, shoes and accessories at heavily discounted prices. That’s how many spend their trips to Ancona – they come for the sea but leave with luggages brimming full of wondrous purchases.
