This is one of the most colorful and nosiest places and focuses on the vibrancy and liveliness of the Roman life. If you turn up here when the sun is up, you can see the place brimming with vegetable markets beautifully interspersed with flower markets-a colorful sight indeed. The piazza also hosts food markets, for those who love food. Young Romans love the place even better at night when it transforms to an open-air pub and buzzes with hard-drinking students.
You can look forward to cheap lunches here.
Location : At Campo dei Fiori of course. Just north of the Jewish ghetto along the east bank of the Tiber
This is another busy shopping area, where traffic can often pay spoil-sport. The street is very long and crabbed with shops of all genre-coins, clothing, books, music, household goods, food and wine and street corner stands.
Officially known as Via dei Condotti, this should be the first place you head for, if you love shopping in Rome. A swanky shopping street, visitors of all genus love. Via Condotti begins at the end of the Spanish steps. The atelier of Bulgari which sprang up in the area in the year of 1905, is what shot the place to fame. Today, it is flagship stores and design houses which unfold before you and greet you all along the way. Armani, Gucci and Prada are among the many popular ones here.
An exclusive area in the whole of Italy you shop, you can find more window-shoppers and people-watchers than people who are actually out there to shop.
Tucked away in the street is Caffe Greco. There are few Romans who have not heard of this cafe and few visitors who have not visited it. This famous cafe has seen visitors like Goethe, Byron and Keats.
