20 Destinations Around the World for Retail Therapy
Oh, the joys of retail therapy! It can soothe the soul, even after the hardest of days. When you’re ready to treat yourself, what if you think outside the box?
What if you planned a shopping expedition in Rome, Madrid, or Tokyo instead of the local mall? One thing’s for sure: you’ll have the time of your life and zero buyer’s remorse.
Below, we’ll take you through 20 worldwide destinations just waiting to delight you.
1. New York, NY
Any article pertaining to retail therapy must start or end in New York City. When you stroll along Fifth Avenue, you’re dipping in and out of the flagship stores of many of our favorite chains.
Whether you’re aiming for Banana Republic in Rockefeller Center or “the” Tiffany’s where Audrey Hepburn first made us swoon, you can really have it all on Fifth.
Madison Avenue also won’t let you down when you’re on the hunt for exclusivity. Then, if you hop on the subway and head south to Soho, you’ll also be able to enjoy eclectic finds amidst an array of unique boutiques.
2. Los Angeles, CA
LA goes hand in hand with New York. When discussing retail therapy, everything is at your fingertips in this sizzling metropolis.
To feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, you can head to Rodeo Drive. But, you also have a series of other popular hotspots like The Grove (where people love to keep an eye out for celebrity sightings), and Universal CityWalk.
3. La Jolla, CA
La Jolla is a quiet little gem on the outskirts of San Diego. Not only does it have a splendid offering of lush, unique boutiques, it also has access to some of the area’s most beautiful beaches. Whether you’re looking for a Rolex or a new piece of art, La Jolla will deliver, time and time again.
4. Las Vegas, NV
While it’s mainly synonymous with casinos, shows, and grand hotels, Las Vegas is a great spot to spend all your cares away.
If you check into a luxury resort right on the strip, all you have to do is don your favorite pair of Gucci loafers as you dip in and out of the stores in style and stock up on some of your favorite brand names.
