London Paris Barcelona Or Berlin?

[AliyaS]

Ok, without starting a crazy battle, I'd like to start a poll for which of the cities you think has the best shopping for womens mid range brands, shoes, accessories, etc.
London, Paris, Barcelona or Berlin?

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

have you've started it cause you're not sure which city to visit? if so, i'd go with paris.

 

[leyla m.]

ive heard BERLIN is amazing . even the London aficionados i know have said so.. other than that i would stick to LONDON with second thoughts

 

[AliyaS]

Actually I'm going to all 4 but, a gals gotta know when to hold on for something better and where to spend it all in one go!
I was actually really curious as well since I've never been to any of those cities or Europe at all actually. I would like to plan it so I'm in the city with the most shopping longer-how shallow of me

 

[just_me]

LONDON, it has everything.

 

[_ladybug_]

I've only been to London and Paris - personally it's a draw between the two. So long as you go off the beaten path, I think you can find great items in any of the four.

that said, I may say paris for me just b/c converting to euros gave me less of a shock than to pounds, when I went that is hahah

I vote Barcelona! You get amazing spanish designers that are not overly exposed in Europe...I also vote for Madrid( my favorite).

 

[Dulcisima]

Then again i am biased...best city to shop is one that u know well..inside out....I favor Madrid cause i know best places to shop and were get unique pieces that i know i wont find elsewhere...London is the capital for shopping everybody loves london, maybe its because the English ( unversial language) easy directions...etc etc...

 

[AliyaS]

You're absolutely right!
You really have to know where to shop in each City and you can find a good deal in each!
Ok, I guess there was a point why a thread like this wasn't started before!
Thanks all who participated!

 

[SomethingElse]

Each city has it's own charms! Maybe you can hook up here with a few tFSers in each city to get the scoop on their favorite spots! There are threads for shopping in London and Paris on tFS, for certain. I'm not sure about the other two. Have fun!!

 

[AliyaS]

Thanks...I've been reading countless threads and everytime I read something that I definitely want to check out, no one replies;;; boo hoo!
I guess I'll have to do it the hard way; strap on the comfy shoes, tie the hair back, and shop shop shop!

 

[thingummybob]

i can only tell that it's really good to go shopping in berlin...though it's not all just concentrated in one center...there are couple of places where you can go shopping very well and surely find something you want or like.
to the other cities i can't tell you much about it...but london as far as i've been told is very good for shopping! got any question about berlin just ask away
