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.
Trastevere area - take the tram

Porta Portese is a great market but do watch out for the thieves and pickpockets. It's a nice snapshot of Italy: fascinating, boisterous but - I hate to say it but I've been here for ten years - lawless, so be careful!
