Shopping in Rome

Ok, these are the areas that we shopped during our recent visit to Rome.

In between the Stazione Termini (Train Station) and the Campidoglio, there is VIA NAZIONALE and VIA del CORSO. There are shops on the streets near those major arteries.
The former is where I purchased a couple of pairs of leather shoes, so did my mom. The latter, is a major street with lots of stores and people; it seems that Romans take their Sunday passeggiata - so watch your stuff.

Near the Vatican, go to VIA COLA di RIENZO and the side street VIA OTTAVIANO. Via Cola di Rienzo is more like Via Nazionale, but with more stores, longer, and more of a mix. If you only have one day to go shopping, go to Via Cola di Rienzo and the surrounding neighborhood.

There are other areas you can go window shop, go break, or whatever your pleasure! Check it out with this guide - the main page is in English, but the city streets are in Italian (however, there is a listing of stores, which is in English/Italian).

Shopping in Rome is so much fun!
