The most beautiful shopping streets in Rome
Rome is a real paradise for shoppers. From the historic center to the most picturesque districts, there are numerous shopping streets where you can give free rein to your desire to shop. The offer is almost unlimited: you can really find everything, for every style and for all budgets.
You will hardly be able to resist the temptation to buy something.
Among the most popular areas for shopping is the so-called “Trident” area, formed by Via dei Condotti, Via Frattina, Via Borgognona and the famous Piazza di Spagna. Here are concentrated the most famous jewelers and the ateliers of the most important Italian and international stylists. Gucci, Prada, Ermanno Scervino, Salvatore Ferragamo, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Chanel, Tiffany and Bulgari are just some of the big brands that have chosen this area for their exclusive boutiques. It almost feels like leafing through an issue of Vogue. And even if you don’t buy anything, it’s still a feast for the eyes.
But the beating heart of Roman shopping is undoubtedly Via del Corso, equally positioned near the Spanish Steps. In this approximately one and a half kilometer long street that connects Piazza Venezia with Piazza del Popolo there is something for everyone: from large chains such as H&M and Zara that offer products accessible to all to high fashion brands. Like Milan, Rome also has a shopping arcade, on the corner of Via del Corso and Via del Tritone: it is the historic Galleria Alberto Sordi. It houses a variety of shops, including a laFeltrinelli megastore for book and music lovers. Next to it branches off Via del Tritone, along which is the flagship store of La Rinascente.
In the nearby Via di Campo Marzio you can find, in addition to the fashion shops, a large number of art shops and small craft workshops. If you are passionate about objects and antiques collecting, you cannot get lost for any reason in the world of Via dei Coronari. The shops that once made sacred crowns, hence the name of the street, have been converted into antique shops that sell everything: furniture, paintings, sculptures and objects of every style and era. Many have tried, for decades, to compete for the street palm of the antique dealers par excellence but always without success.
The Campo de ‘Fiori area, with Via dei Giubbonari and Via del Governo Vecchio, is famous for second-hand items while Via del Boschetto, in the splendid Monti district, is full of shops selling vintage clothing and accessories. In the Monti district, every Saturday and Sunday (except August) there is also a market with extraordinary vintage occasions. Instead, the low cost shopping street is Via Tuscolana, in the southern area of Rome.
