You don’t need to wander far from the famous city center landmarks to find some incredible shops. Right in the middle of Rome, you’ll discover top international fashion boutiques, along with prestigious jewelry stores and ateliers. For instance, start at Piazza di Spagna (Metro Line A) and take a stroll down Via dei Condotti, Via Frattina, and Via Borgognona. Alternatively, start your shopping trip at Piazza del Popolo (Metro Line A – “Flaminio” stop) and check out Via di Ripetta and Via del Babuino, eventually reaching the charming Via del Campo Marzio.

If you’re into vintage fashion, head over to Via del Boschetto in Monti or visit Via dei Banchi Vecchi and Via del Governo Vecchio, which are just a short walk from Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori. Moreover, a stroll along Via del Pellegrino, Via dei Coronari, and Via Margutta is a must for art lovers and those into antiques. These streets are filled with well-known antique shops and some of the best art galleries in Rome.
