Via Condotti to Via del Governo Vecchio — where Romans actually shop and where tourists overpay.
Plan your Italy trip →Via Condotti + Via Borgognona: Rome's luxury strip. Gucci, Prada, Valentino (Roman-born), Bulgari (founded on Via Condotti in 1884), Fendi (Palazzo Fendi is here). Window shopping is free and the architecture of these flagships is extraordinary.
Via del Governo Vecchio: Between Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori. Independent boutiques, vintage shops, small designer studios. Where young Romans with style shop. Prices are human.
Monti neighborhood: Rome's most creative quarter. Via del Boschetto and surrounding streets for independent designers, vintage, artisan jewelry, concept stores. The weekend Mercato Monti market is excellent.
Via dei Coronari: Antiques and high-end home décor in a Renaissance street. Not cheap, but stunning.
Via del Corso: Rome's main shopping street. Zara, H&M, international chains. Packed on weekends. Functional, not exciting.
Rinascente (Via del Tritone): Italy's best department store. Renovated Tritone location near the Trevi Fountain. The food hall on the top floor has a terrace with views of the Roman skyline.
Eataly Roma (Piazzale XII Ottobre 1492): Four floors of Italian food products, restaurants, and cooking classes. Curated, labeled by region, excellent quality. Tourist-priced but reliable.
Mercato Testaccio: Where Romans buy groceries. Produce, cheese, meat, street food. No tourists. This is the real thing.
