We girls love a bit of shopping, of course. Some of us do it online (so easy), while others prefer to explore unique boutiques for the complete shopping experience. Planning a long shopping spree with your girlfriends this year? These are the best cities in the world for shopping!

Best cities for shopping: Tokyo

Avid shoppers will have a field day in Tokyo. The shopping scene is enormous, and almost every district has its own major shopping street. For cool girlie items, head to the trendy Shibuya and Harajuku districts. If you're looking for more luxurious (designer) clothing, you're better off in the Ginza, Aoyama, and Omotesando districts. >> Click here to discover all the hotspots in Tokyo!

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: New York City

Of course, New York couldn't be left off this list; for decades, this state has been known as a shopping paradise for true shopaholics. I always love shopping in New York, and I have my go-to spots, which I always visit when I'm in the city. >> Click here to discover all the hotspots in New York!

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: Moscow

Moscow might not be the most obvious city for a shopping spree, but the GUM and Okhotny Ryad shopping centers offer fantastic shopping. Designer clothes are apparently considerably more expensive here, but luckily there are also plenty of boutiques with handmade goods and local souvenirs.

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: Milan

In my opinion, Milan is one of the best cities for shopping. Quadriletero d'Oro, Milan's fashion district, is a must-see. You'll be amazed by its beauty! >> Click here to discover all the hotspots in Milan!

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: Dubai

The sky's the limit in Dubai! This mindset is reflected not only in the towering skyscrapers but also in the shopping scene. There are several shopping malls in Dubai, including the Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the world, with over 650 stores. >> Click here to discover all the hotspots in Dubai!

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: Paris

Paris isn't just the city of love, it's also one of Europe's major fashion capitals.

Best cities for shopping: Bangkok

You know what's so great about shopping in Bangkok? There are tons of markets where everything is dirt cheap. And we mean really dirt cheap. One of them is Rot Fai Market, a true vintage shopping paradise. Looking for something a little more luxurious? The massive malls also offer everything under one roof.

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: Madrid

In the Spanish capital, Madrid, you'll never be bored. Enjoy delicious tapas for lunch, then shop to your heart's content in the expansive shopping streets, and end the day with a delicious cocktail in the evening. You'll especially want to explore the boutiques in the Chueca district and the side streets off the Gran Via!  >> Click here to discover all the hotspots in Madrid!

BEST CITIES FOR SHOPPING: Hong Kong

Flying back and forth to Hong Kong just for shopping isn't really realistic, of course. But if you're traveling to this vibrant city soon, definitely plan some shopping time.
