Explore Shopping in Rome
Pay down those credit cards, because if you plan on shopping in Rome, you’ll need to be prepared to spend money. Rome is a notoriously expensive city, and rightfully so—the city boasts fine-crafted goods, such as wonderful leather products and exquisite glassware. In Campo dei Fiori, you’ll find bookshops, clothing stores and an array of restaurants. If big-name designers are you’re style, you’ll want to amble down to Piazza di Spagna. Here you will find numerous boutiques, trendy antique shops and the big players: Dior, Prada, Valentino, Gucci, Fendi and Armani. There are many Roman marketplaces to stroll where you can pick up fresh produce, thrifty souvenirs and ‘40s and ‘50s retro memorabilia. Some worthy markets to check out are the Porta Portese Market and the Mercantino dei Partigiani.
