For shopaholics with a taste for the latest fashionable clothes and shoes, Rome is the place to visit. In fact, many people stay in Accommodation for Rome for days at a time in order to make the most of the opportunities available.
It may not have the same reputation as Milan, but it is by no means lacking in variety with all the major fashion houses having outlets and stores there. The Via dei Condotti is the place to visit for names such as Armani, Gucci, Hermes, Prada and Valentino.
Of course, these names also come with a certain price tag! So, for those people searching for fashionable clothes at a more modest price, the Via del Corso or between Ottaviano Metro and the Vatican is a good place to look.
Shopping for clothes may become a little tiring after a while, but there are certainly other things to buy if that is the case! Antiques are also available, which is fitting, giving the huge legacy of the Roman Empire.
When buying antiques, it really does pay to know what you are doing, or receive advice from a trusted source. The Centro Storico is the best place to go antique hunting armed with that good advice and knowledge. Everybody will shop for a souvenir or two, and there are street stalls all around the city. For interesting/unique/odd ones, visit the area around the Vatican though.
