Via del Babuino

An imposing blend of high fashion (Armani, Chanel, Tiffany & Co.) and antiques make this street one of Rome’s most elegant. Worth a stroll just to peek into some of the finer antiques shops – they’re full of Baroque furniture, paintings and antiquities (see Art and Antiques Shops).
Via del Corso

Up and down Rome’s central axis street, you’ll find the entire range of shopping options. Music stores and trendy young styles predominate, but there are also good shoe shops and one of Rome’s rare up-scale department stores, La Rinascente (see Shops).
Via Mamiani

Rome’s largest outdoor market for the freshest meat and fish, as well as clothing and housewares. Monday to Saturday mornings (see Via Mamiani Market).
Via Mamiani Market

Exotic foodstuffs, flowers, clothing, luggage - you can find all that and more around this huge market square. Under the porticoes there are even more stalls to check out (see Via Mamiani).
Via Margutta

A wonderful range of art, antiques and antiquities shops has made this little street famous. Nos. 45 and 86 often have stunning merchandise for sale, whereas No. 109 specializes in more affordable copies of antiquities (see Art and Antiques Shops).
Via Nazionale

A solidly mid-range shopping experience, lined with shoe and clothing boutiques, Oriental rug stores, an international bookshop and a reliable bag and luggage emporium. Frette, with its elegant range of bed linen, also has an outlet here.
Via Sannio

Vintage clothing and designer fakes. Weekday mornings and Saturday (see Via Sannio Market).
Via Sannio Market

A good bet for new leather jackets at great savings. Otherwise there is a lot of quite junky fakes, good-condition second-hand clothing, and other miscellaneous items (see Via Sannio).
Via Trionfale Flower Market

Fresh cut flowers and all sorts of plants at bargain prices. Tuesday morning.
Vittorio Bagagli

Purveyor of fine houseware since 1855, including design-led Alessi kitchen gadgets and Pavoni espresso machines.
