Tips for a Perfect Day Trip to Serravalle Outlet

If you’re looking for some great deals on designer clothes, shoes, and accessories, then you’ll want to head to Serravalle Outlet Milan. You will always find good deals, but we have a few tips and tricks on making the most of your shopping day trip to Serravalle Designer Outlet.
Shop during the week
The weekends are always the busiest time at Serravalle Outlet, so if you want to avoid the crowds, then shop during the week. In general, Tuesdays and Wednesdays have fewer visitors than other days, and the hours near opening and closing are good times to go. The outlet is open every day 10 AM- 8 PM, and during summer, it remains open until 9 PM.
Check for sales and promotions
The Sales Season in Italy is the best time to shop. End-of-season sales are on twice a year. Winter sales are on from January to February, and Summer sales are on from July to August.
The sales period is always the same; however, the actual dates may vary from region to region. For example, in Lombardy, sales may begin on January 3rd and in Piedmont on January 5th. The outlet is located in the region of Piedmont, and sales dates are announced on the Serravalle Outlet website.
Know what you want
The Serravalle Outlet occupies an area of over 12 acres, and it’s easy to get distracted and lose track of time once you get there. It’s best to do some research and plan out the shops you want to see first. This will help you stay focused. If you are shopping on a budget, make a shopping list and stick to it.
Map out your visit with the store directory. You can search for your favorite brands and plan a shopping itinerary to get the most out of your day trip.

Take advantage of Tax-free Shopping
Tax-free shopping is available in Italy! Serravalle Outlet has a dedicated tax-refund office. If you live outside the EU (now, including the UK), you are eligible for a refund on the tax you paid when purchasing an item. It’s like getting an additional discount!
The standard VAT rate is 22%, which applies to goods like clothes, textiles, leatherwear, jewelry, glassware, sunglasses, wines, and other alcoholic drinks.
Non-EU residents can get a tax refund on items they bought with IVA tax in the three months before they leave. After shopping, go to the visitor’s center, complete a form, and ka-ching, you get reimbursed!
Where to eat
