KW Cruisers Posted April 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hello everyone, Has anyone been to the Florence Luxury Outlet Mall (I love Gucci at a discount!)? How hard is it to get to? It looks like the direct bus service (provided by the Mall) from Florence at €13 is the best option...now I just have to get to Florence from Livorno. Speaking of which, any advice on what the best way to get to Florence is from the port? I have looked at the Azamara excursions, and if that's the best way, I'll book that. Just looking for opinions (of which I know people have!). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted April 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think I saw the outlet busses at the main bus station in Florence when we were there last. I have been to the outlet but from another direction skirting Florence. I'd think the ride would take a good 45-60 minutes in moderate traffic. The outlet is several miles off the A1 south of Florence. With a transfer in Florence you might be looking at least 2 1/2 hours each way from Livorno. If you have a long enough day it would be doable but if you sail in the early evening it might be a little dicy getting back to Livorno in the traffic. You may find a post on the Detinations - Europe - Italy boards. I hope it works for you and plan on visiting more than just the Gucci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelBugM Posted April 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The Florence outlet mall is discussed extensively on Trip Advisor with many varying opinions. We opted not to go, but did visit the Prada outlet - Space - which was a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Junky Posted April 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I’ve been to both the Mall and Prada. Good prices at both. The Mall is wayyyyyyy easier to find than “the Space” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliced Posted May 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Oh boy, my hubby would KILL me if I suggested a trip to the outlet mall in Florence. I am bummed out enough knowing that we'll only be in port on Sunday, 9/2 which is "freebie" day for the museums so might not make it into the Uffizi as no tickets are sold in advance. But it's a gorgeous city, and there are plenty of other museums to see (including the Ferragamo!). Having been to Florence before, we are not doing a tour there.

GreenEyedKat Posted May 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I have been there and in my opinion it's not that great. I found the same Gucci handbag cheaper in Lucca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Junky Posted May 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I agree w your husband. DON I have to admit, when we did Prada and Gucci we were on a land trip for a week, not a one day shore excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
