Where's the best shopping in the caribbean? |
Travel Info high end, luxury, tax free Travel Tips Hello Henry, I would advise you to do your high end, luxury and tax free shopping in Front Street, Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. Best way to visit is by cruise line or direct flight from the US. Good luck! Others Try Bridgetown, Barbados' capital. Even outside the capital has Cave Shepherd stores! In old San Juan in Puerto Rico there are charming upscale shops on the colorful old streets & There is a high end mall called Plaza Las Americas http://www.plazalasamericas.net/... Puerto Rico and some of the other coastal tourist towns have managed to keep their status of lower import tax and VAT rates duty free. So if you are looking to buy tobacco, wines, spirits, perfumes and maybe some electrical goods, look no further as they are much cheaper here than in other EU countries. San Juan is actually the island's shopping mecca, but it isn't a free port, so you won't find bargains on electronics and perfumes. But you can, however, find excellent prices on jewelry, fashions, crystal, and china. Shopping for local crafts can also be satisfying: you'll run across a lot that's shabby, but you can also find treasures, and in many cases you can watch the artists at work. Plaza Las Americas, the island's largest shopping centre is also situated here. It is a very modern shopping center that features over 300 stores selling everything imaginable. Everything form pottery and fashion clothing to local cuisine. It all depends for gold, silver, diamonds check out Guyana in South America. |
