Chain stores and shops sell tourist junk, but this is also a good place to shop for high-quality (and high-price) silver, jewelry, and china. Check out the regular open markets on Rother Street—the Friday one is particularly good for bargains—and don’t miss Upmarket held on Waterside every Sunday (and bank holidays) from Easter to Christmas. It’s a great place to browse for unusual gifts and souvenirs.
