Fashionistas often use a vacation in the U.S. as an opportunity for an extensive shopping spree. That’s because many designers and brands are significantly cheaper overseas. And, of course, the numerous shopping hotspots like New York and San Francisco beckon with their very own glamour. So it’s quite easy to spot a real celebrity going about their daily life at a high-end designer store. After all, even Hollywood stars and starlets love to shop! So which spots are absolute must-visits on a vacation in the U.S.? Which stores and shopping streets in America should you definitely not miss?
Shop for great deals in the U.S.!
Store hours are nonexistent in the Land of Opportunity. That’s why shopping on vacation is possible around the clock, so to speak. Exclusive shopping centers are also home to a variety of well-known brands such as Benetton, Laura Ashley, and Louis Vuitton. In the top price range, stores like Tiffany, Armani, and Gucci are major players. These can be found in famous locations, such as Fifth Avenue in New York. The northern part of Manhattan, in particular, has been developing into a truly trendy neighborhood for some time now and is always worth a detour. At Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, chic dresses and hot high heels find their way into your shopping bag. And after a shopping spree across the Big Apple, treat yourself to lunch at Le Bernardin, just like in *Sex and the City*. Each state in the U.S. decides for itself how much sales tax to add to the value of goods. That’s why, on a vacation in America, it’s worth checking out other states as well. So the journey continues!
A road trip across America!
If you want to be flexible and independent, you can rent a car from Sixt in the U.S. and explore the different regions at an affordable price. Gas is practically cheap overseas when you compare fuel prices to those in Europe. The well-known car rental company Sixt, with more than 4,000 rental locations worldwide, naturally has several branches throughout the Americas as well. From compact cars to sleek convertibles, everything is available—you’re guaranteed to find the right car for you. And just like that, your exploration begins! New York is undoubtedly the No. 1 shopping destination in the U.S.
But the cities of San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Washington are also always worth a visit. And Los Angeles, too, delights visitors with a wealth of shopping options. Everywhere you look, you’ll find not only the world-famous names of trendy designers. America also offers up-and-coming designers the chance to make a name for themselves. And so, these up-and-coming shops are the perfect places to browse and shop. You’ll end up packing truly one-of-a-kind items into your suitcase to take home with you. Thanks to the low exchange rate, shopping in the U.S. is twice as much fun. But be careful: You may only bring goods worth up to €430 per person into Austria duty-free. Anything above that must be declared and cleared through customs directly at the airport. So be sure to do the math! Otherwise, that bargain from your American vacation might turn out to be an expensive mistake once you arrive back home!
