Shopping

Shopping in Italy is a real delight and most cities have everything from the top designers to the shabby chic. Rome offers a myriad of good shopping streets and areas, however be aware that it is hard to find a bargain here. You will pay top dollar for most of your purchases with very little discounts given. The famous shopping strips are wonderful to browse in but the leases are so high that unfortunately the costs are passed on to the customers. Listed below are some of the top shopping streets in Rome.

Shopping Centres in Rome

Via Frattina
Another upmarket shopping strip that starts at Piazza di
Spagna. This area is busy but easier to move around as it is
closed to road traffic.

Via Nationale
The place to go if you are looking for anything in leather.
There are other boutiques here as well but, beware, it can be
extremely busy and hard to get around.

Via Sistina
This strip begins at the top of the Spanish Steps and once
again the shops are stylish, chic and pricey.

Via Vittorio Veneto
More classy boutiques selling high-priced fashion and designer
wear, but also has lots of cafés to stop at, rest and revive in.

Via Borgognona
You will see some of the best dressed Romans in this street. If
you are looking for trendy and ultra expensive this is the
street that will thrill you, but maybe not your credit card.

Via Cola Di Rienzo
Close to the Vatican, this is a good street to buy fashions,
shoes and accessories at reasonable prices.

Via Condotti
This is the poshest street in Rome and is easy to find as it's at
the base of the Spanish Steps. Even your fullest wallet may
not be enough to purchase an outfit here, but a great place to
people watch.

Via del Corso
Located near the Piazza del Popolo, this street attracts the
younger, trendier set.
