Travel links to SHOPPING FLA
Wherever you are in Florida, you won’t be far from the American shopping staple the malls.
These air-conditioned retail temples, bulging with all your favourite stores and a few more besides are as
easy to find and park as they are to spend money in.
In the Orlando Florida region there are no less than a dozen high quality malls, all designed for the
theme park crowd to have bag full's of mostly quality shopping. A recent addition to the shopping sky line is
Mall at Millennia, a state-of-the-art shopaholic’s paradise where America’s most popular department stores,
including Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, sit shoulder to shoulder with the fashion world’s most exclusive names,
Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton and Jimmy Choo among them.
Florida mega-malls guaranteed to send your credit card into meltdown include the
International Plaza in Tampa (where major names Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor -
are among the main retail attractions) and Aventura Mall in North Miami. This is the biggest regional
mall in South Florida and home to all of the usual shopping suspects: Gap, Victoria’s Secret and
Abercrombie and Fitch, to mention a few.

At the other end of the shopping spectrum, Miami as well as many other places are perfect for less
mainstream purchases. For bustling outdoor shopping, head to Lincoln Road Mall, a long,
leafy pedestrianised street just a stone’s throw from South Beach and the Art Deco district.
It’s crammed with specialist stores including jewellers, electrical stores and art and music shops,
not oozing with the glamour of Miami’s modern malls, but still pulling crowds.
An early evening shopping excursion is the most fun when the surrounding cafes, restaurants and bars
come to life as you wander from shop to shop.
Bargain-hunters determined to get a good deal should focus their energy on Florida’s increasingly
popular outlet centres. Discount shopping is big business in Florida and you can pick up bargains year-
round on discontinued ranges or last season’s designer goods, often at up to 70 per cent off -
the original price. Many 'Outlet stores' are just that. Great if you want something that now is not so 'Common'
Florida’s largest mall is Sawgrass Mills, a shrine to consumerism that lies 10 miles west of Fort Lauderdale.
This gargantuan outlet complex stretches two miles and has more than 300 shops.
Again at the opposite end is Daytona Beach 'Flea Market' - more of a locals 'I need one of those'...
You can buy just about everything from almost tasteless tourist bargins...
(Somehow ok because you are on holiday) to original items from quality T shirts to the latest
high tech gadget or home ware
On a more manageable scale, Premium Outlets offers similar cut-price treats in both St. Augustine and
Orlando with some of the biggest savings to be had on sportswear: Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Puma all have
stores here. Look at for the yacht chandlers at St.Augustine - over priced but if you are an enthusiast -
you can usually find what you need. Not surprisingly, shoppers looking to really splash their cash are all
equally well catered to in Florida. Upscale shopping to rival that found on the streets of New York,
Chicago and LA can be found in many places in the entire state. Sometimes 'In the middle of no where'
Fifth Avenue South in Old Naples - Third Street and The Avenues on the Gulf Coast is a charming
High street filled with luxury clothes boutiques, gourmet food shops and art galleries.
Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale is busy with well-heeled shoppers whatever time of day or night
you visit. Join them browsing around the many jewellers, antique shops and art galleries or take a pew at
one of the charming sidewalk cafes.
Orlando’s Winter Park is of a similar ilk. Park Avenue, the main street in this upmarket suburb where
swish clothes shops, chocolatiers and beauticians vie for the attentions of the area’s
wealthy inhabitants and visiting tourists who want something special.
For shopping that could rival LA’s Rodeo Drive, some of the glitziest addresses in Florida are to be found at
Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Bal Harbour in North Miami Beach and St. Armands Circle in Sarasota
one of the nicest areas on the Florida coast - where millionaires and A-list celebrities are amongst the
clientele. If you forget about your bank balance, the out-of-this-world price tags, will tell you you are joining
the beautiful people for a spot of window-shopping and content yourself with the knowledge that there are
bargains to be had even here.

Orlando has many forms of area transportation, however, renting a car will allow you more freedom
to travel to the surrounding areas. Many of the hotels have guest service centers where you can get
information on getting around town or you can visit one of the many visitor information centers
on the north end of the drive and SeaWorld Orlando further south.
