Christmas is just around the corner. If you haven’t started your festive shopping yet now is the perfect time to start thinking about it. As travel lovers, we have been dreaming of the best shopping destinations around the world that we love to visit to get us into the festive mood and help us make a start on our gift buying.
If you’re heading on a city holiday before Christmas, be sure to leave lots of room in your suitcase!
Here are our top picks for some serious city shopping
Dubai – Dubai has one of the largest shopping centres in the world, The Dubai Mall. You are bound to find something for everyone here. Other top spots include the Mall of the Emirates, and of course the local souks.
Bangkok – This lively cosmopolitan city has plenty to offer festive shoppers. With MBK Center and CentralWorld being the two most popular shopping centres. And not forgetting the incredible night markets where you are sure to pick up a bargain or two.
