All roads lead to Rome - the capital of Italy, its cultural heart. Here tourists from all over the world are eager to see the monuments of the ancient Roman Empire, as well as see the capital of the Catholic world of the Vatican.
However, Rome is not only a place for excursions. This city successfully combines everything a tourist needs: the sea half an hour's drive from the city, thermal springs for treatment, excursions and interesting places and of course, shopping.
Shopping in Rome is very diverse: on the one hand there live the political elite of Italy, who like to dress fashionably and expensively.

When to go shopping in Rome
In Rome, as in any other city in Italy, seasonal sales (January-February, July-August) in all stores, boutiques and outlets, when discounts on things make up 30-70%, are held twice a year. That's why the time for sales is one of the most profitable at prices.
The whole year at any time, regardless of sales in Rome, you can buy things of famous designers of past collections with discounts of 30-70%. Such things are sold in the so-called outlets in the suburbs of Rome and in the city itself.
What are the prices in Rome?
Is it cheaper in Rome than in other cities? Very often I hear from my customers that the prices for things in Rome are cheaper than in Milan. This is not entirely accurate, as the prices in boutiques for the same brand in Milan and Rome will be the same. Such an impression is formed because in Rome there are more brands of the middle segment, and in Milan there are more luxury boutiques. At the same time, if you are interested in things below average and economy, you should go shopping in Rimini, where you can find very inexpensive things.
We plan a shopping program
Shops in Rome
In Rome, as in other cities in Italy, there are its central streets of boutiques and luxury shops, where items of current collections are sold.
These are the streets: Via del Corso - democratic shops, the Spanish Square (p.zza di Spagna) and the streets departing from it Via dei Condotti, Via del Babuino, Via Frattina, Via Borgognona, Via Bocca Di Leone - luxury brands, In Rome, almost all luxury brands of clothing and footwear are presented. However, you should understand - in the central tourist streets prices are more expensive than in other places. Shopping in boutiques is advantageous in the period of sales, when discounts are up to 50-60%.
In addition to luxury boutiques in Rome, it is worth to visit the shops of leather shoes, bags and leather things of little-known Italian brands. Prices here are low: leather shoes cost from 25 EUR, leather bag from 50 EUR, leather jacket from 100 EUR.
Outlets in Rome
Italy is popular among tourists in that it is possible to buy a large number of brand luxury items of the past season with discounts of 30-70%. Such things are sold in outlets in the city and in the suburbs.
In the center of Rome there are several outlets that will please you with their choice and prices. One of such outlets Techer offers, for example, D & G, Armani, RoccoBarocc, Fendi, Gigli, Versace and other brands with discounts of 50-60% all year round. Jeans Armani there can be found from 50 EUR, shirts and blouses from 45 EUR. The last find in this outlet is Sandro Ferrone cocktail dress for 25 EUR.

Under Rome there are 2 large outlet malls that offer a huge number of famous brands (Ferre, Valentino, Etro, etc.) with discounts of 30-70% all year round. During seasonal sales, discounts are doubled.
The most famous of these outlets is Castel Romano. There are a lot of clothes and shoes of famous luxury designers.
A frequent question on forums on the Internet is whether to go there? If for you it does not matter what season this collection, you have time to choose things and not necessarily the presence of chic design in boutiques, it costs .You can really save a good amount of money to buy quality items of famous brands..The main problem of outlet-malls is their popularity among Russian tourists who buy all the running sizes, as well as the most interesting models .That's why you need to spend time and look for the right things or take an accompanying person who is always here and knows the range and brand of $$ .
The second outlet mall near Rome is Valmontone (by the way more popular among Italians themselves). This outlet is suitable for those who would like to buy things of average Italian designers at a discount. Along with the well-known Baldinini and Twin Set, there are represented little-known Italian inexpensive brands From By Vestebene, Kocca, Manila Grace, Feyem, etc.
Factories of shoes and clothes in Rome
What is not under Rome, it's a variety of patches from the factories of shoes and clothing. If you want to visit the patches from factories Gucci, D & G, Fendi, Cavalli, then you need to go from Rome to Florence. If you are interested in the shoe factories Vicini, Pollini, Baldinini, then you should visit such spetsi in Rimini. If you are interested in the shoe factories TODs, Fabi, Fabiani, Nando Muzi, Prada, then it's worth visiting such factories in the Marke region.
That's why Rome and the suburbs of Rome are not suitable for wholesale buyers. There are no wholesale drains with luxury clothing or a large number of showrooms from factories of Italian brands. Wholesale buyers are best served by the sinks of Milan, Florence, Rimini and Bologna.

The biggest advantage of this city is its versatility: on the first day you see the city itself, on the second day you do shopping, on the third day you go on an excursion to Naples to watch the famous Vesuvius, on the fourth day you go to the thermal springs and spend the rest of the time on the sea the hot sun.
