Via Mazzini is the main shopping street in Verona. Many high street Italian chains, and brand names such as Pinkie, Stefanel, Sisley and Diesel have stores here. The same goes for the more exclusive labels like Gucci and Versace.

Via Mazzini can be found at the north end of Piazza Bra, and parallel to it runs the Corso Porta Borsari, which is also lined with fashion and designer stores as well as a number of excellent shoe shops. On Piazza delle Erbe there is a daily market with stalls selling clothes and fruit and vegetables. As in all Italian cities, excellent food shops are never far away in the city centre.

In general, shops are open 0900-1930, with many smaller shops closing between 1300 and 1600. Nearly everything is shut during August, on Thursday afternoon and on Sunday.
