In order to buy the real thing of the famous brand, it isn’t necessary to organize fights on the Champs-Elysees during winter sales. It is enough to visit one of the Europe outlets. The biggest and most famous – in the material from TaxFree4U. Don’t forget: with the mobile application you will be able to return up to 19% VAT on purchases during your shopping in the largest outlets in Europe.
Enjoy shopping – TaxFree4U will do all the work for you!
Tips from TaxFree4U how to make visiting outlets easier and more enjoyable:
- Public transport is not always suitable for a comfortable visit to the village-outlets located beyond the city limits. The easiest way is by taxi (on average, the trip will cost 50 euros).
- If you want to pick up a suitable wardrobe in the outlet, use the services of a shopping consultant, but book his services in advance.
- During seasonal sales, do not hesitate to ask for VIP cards and gifts for purchases – in large outlets such bonuses are a prerequisite for the dealers.
