Shopping
City break visitors, especially those who love shopping will be pleased on a visit to Rome. There are numerous shops which form part of national chains and where you can drop by, if you are looking for basics. The streets of the city are crammed with small independent shops as well as quality boutiques which are more suited for unique purchases. If you are looking for a more convenient method of shopping, you can drop by malls and huge shopping centers.
As it is, Rome is considered to be a bit pricey and a city break visitor cannot look forward to much bargains.
