Your Holiday in Rome

Rome Shopping guide

Rome’s a fantastic place for shopping with designer outlets and department stores all over the city.  It is literally bursting at the seams with a diverse array of shopping areas that we mention here below:

The most obvious shopping areas are found around the Piazza di Spagna. The shopping area around the Piazza di Spagna is the most famous and is where you'll find all the flagship designer stores.

For a slightly less frantic (and perhaps less intimidating) experience you might like to try the area around Via del Governo Vecchio. Josephine de Huertas is a small boutique that carries an eclectic range of designers.

If it’s retail therapy in Rome you are after then the Via del Corso is a must!  Via del Corso is a bustling pedestrianised street that runs all the way from Piazza del Popolo down to Piazza Venezia. The via del corso is very popular with locals and tourists alike and is home to famous shops like the Ferrari store, Swarowski Crystal and the Messaggerie Musicali di ROMA which is open really late and 7 days a week!
