From vintage jeans to designer-label gowns, useful homewares to gilt-winged cherubs,
there's something for everyone on a shopping trip to Rome. Window-shop or spend
big at the latest boutiques around the Spanish Steps, hunt for cool Italian
homewares on Via dei Barbieri or browse for hours at the Porta Portese
flea market on shopping trips to Rome.
City shopping districts
Zoom straight to the Spanish Steps area on your Rome shopping trip if
designer-label boutiques get your pulse racing. Follow Via dei Condotti or
detour into Via Nazionale or Via del Corso streets if everyday
clothing is on your Rome shopping trip list. Trawl Via Giulia or Via dei
Coronari for antiques, the former Jewish Ghetto area for useful
kitchenware and Via dei Barbieri for designer finishing touches for your
home.
Market shopping trips to Rome
You'll want to snap lots of photos of Rome's famous flower and
produce market on the Campo de'Fiori. The main event on your Rome
markets shopping trip, however, is the Sunday-morning Porta Portese flea
market in Trastevere, for cheap clothing, antiquities, collectables and
souvenirs. Try the Borghetto Flaminio market for good-quality second-hand
clothing and designer accessories and Sannio for budget clothing, both old
and new.
Rome shopping: best buys
Fill your bags with antique postcards, knickknacks and designer clothing from
Rome's markets on your shopping trips to Rome. Take home kitchen utensils
and homewares from Rome's classy kitchenware stores, attractively priced
leatherwear from Via del Corso, and tailored menswear from Via
Margutta. Don't forget that must-have glowing lamp in the shape of St
Peter's Basilica to combine kitsch with chic from your Rome shopping
trip.
