Where best to shop in Rome

July 15, 2010

The place of grandeur and history that is Rome. Come take a peek of an ancient civilization in Rome and be taken as far back as thousands of years of ruins of the Roman empire.

The modern city not only serves literary dishes in the likes of Horace, Ovid, Cato, Cicero, Varro and Julius Caesar, but it boasts of monuments, museums, buildings, florentine villas, basilicas and the best shopping places in the world. 

From trendy shops to flea markets that are open from early mornings to the wee hours, a touring maverick can typically scour the whole city all day long for good finds from artifacts to the latest Vogue implements. Luxury boutiques and world-renowned coutures like Gucci, Valentino, Versace, Bulgari, Ferragamo, Armani, Battistoni, Ferre, Fendi, the notorious international brands of Hermes, Cartier, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent and yes, your Louis Vittons are just a few brands of the rich and famous that abound the streets of Via del Corso and Via del Babuino, near the Spanish Plaza-Piazza di Spagna.

Hard on cash?

Don’t fret! Thrifty shops are spread near the Vatican on Via Cola di Rienzo and on Via Ottaviano. Local stores where you can find the cheapest yet fashionable items are sprouting like mushrooms in the well-paved district of Testaccio.

You can also savor some fruity experiences here because several fruit vendors are selling Roman fruits and vegetables at its finest at unbelievably, ultra-low prices.

There is also the Porta Portese flea market every Sunday. Dig in to the luscious assortments from bizarre Roman statuettes, shoes, tops, and just about everything that you need is within walking distance from one store to another.

So, what are you waiting for? Book now to Rome!
