Outlet villages on Lake Maggiore

The Vicolungo Outlet Village is a large and very popular shopping village on the outskirts of Novara. Easily accessible by the A26 motorway, the outlet is located in the heart of Piedmont.

This outlet citadel, located halfway between Milan and Turin, is called "Parco Commerciale". It has more than 130 outlets of well-known and prestigious brands, offering visitors a wide choice of clothing (women's, men's and children's), accessories, cosmetics, sportswear and household linen. The frequency of replacement of the goods is remarkable, as well as the real convenience of the products sold, with peaks of savings, in some cases, which are close to 60-70% of the original cost.
