    Too much

    Posted by stevoparis 13 April 2008

    It's the king of kitsch in Rome. For all your hard-to-find knick-nacks and crazy gifts, this is the only place to go in Rome. On three floors, it's a splash of fun and colour in Rome, with a funny staff and loud music. It's open every day until 1am - kids will love it.

    Via Santa Maria dell'Anima, 29 a cross street of Piazza Navona (it's 20 metres from Piazza Navona)

    Modern-day Subura

    Posted by eccola 13 April 2006

    Traditionally a dirty, noisy and over-populated area of Rome just north of the forum between the Viminale and Esquilino hills. Rather than stray dogs, vagrants and ladies of the night, these days you are more likely to find locals sharing a slice of everyday Rome. Even though it’s a stone’s throw from the forum, these few streets feel like a village with a history all of their own. If it's genuine Rome you're after, this is the place to see it.

    Via dei Serpenti, just off Via Nazionale. Also Via del Boschetto running parallel to via dei Serpenti plus several cobbled streets running off each.

    Via Nazionale

    Posted by vickie 26 February 2006

    This is a great street for shopping, especially Frette, for bedding, and Kolby, for menswear.

    Tad Concept Store

    Posted by id1971 1 December 2005

    A department store but not as we know it. This being Italy, Tad is a super-slick joy of a shop with beautiful displays of home-ware, furniture, perfume and designer clothes. Makes John Lewis look like Woolies.

    The Trastevere street market

    Posted by peter41 29 November 2005

    Every Sunday there is a street market in Tastevere which is great fun. It covers four or five blocks and you can get everything from clothes and books to DVDs and statues. Everyone in our family could find something different and exciting and we have two nice oil paintings in our living room which we bought for less that £4 each.

    The Trastevere Quarter

    Posted by barenib 28 November 2005

    This part of Rome is much quieter and on a smaller scale than much of the main part of the city. It's on the west side of the Tiber and south of the Vatican and has many small restaurants and boutiques - a few too many perhaps. It's a little reminiscent of Florence and the narrow cobbled streets still contain many picturesque old houses.

    Clothes

    Posted by JohnHooper 1 August 2005

    The cut of Italian clothes will flatter you as no other. Via Condotti is where most of the big designer names are to be found. But excellent clothes for less money can be found along Via Frattina, which runs parallel to Via Condotti, on nearby Via Campo Marzio and, further afield, on Via Cola di Rienzo and Via Po.

    Al Sogono, Toyshop

    Posted by anajen 30 November 2005

    If you are travelling with small children go to the toyshop Al Sogono at the northern end of Piazza Navone. It is a magical location especially for small girls. The staff are very helpful and patient.
