5 Best Shops in Rome for shopaholics

Rome is known as a shopper's paradise for its fashion, antiques and home-ware products, however knowing where to shop can be tricky due to the vast number of boutiques and stores in the city. Here are five shops in Rome that are a 'must' for shopaholics:

Gucci

If you are shopping in Rome, then going into Gucci's stores, near the Spanish Steps, is a must due to its avant-garde designs and high quality accessories. Of course, whether you can afford to buy items there is another matter.

The Ponte Milvio Antiques Market

Street markets are always good for a bargain or a hidden treasure, and the Ponte Milvio is one of Rome's biggest. Held on the first weekend of each month, between the Ponte Milvio and the Ponte Duca D'Aosta, the market is a must for anyone interested in antiques and other items of curiosity.

Stilvetro

Rome isn't just about fashion houses and has a large market for ceramics, hand-crafted items and glassware. Located on the Via Alessandra, Stilvetro has some of the city's finest home-ware items, many of which are made on the grounds.

Artigianato del Cuoio

If you are after a high quality Italian leather product, such as shoes, gloves or a jacket, it would be worth checking out Artigianato del Cuoio, which is known for its hand stitched products that are made in-store. Prices are also reasonable when compared to the rest of Rome.

Moccia

Shoes and Rome go hand in hand, and one of the most popular shoe shops is Moccia. However while most stores focus on women's foot-ware, Moccia is for men and showcases the best of brands such as Rossetti, Branchini and Peluso.
