Shopping in Rome?

Hi,

I plan to visit Rome in october with my wife on our honeymoon.

Which would be good places to shop around for clothes and accesories.And also what options would one have apart from the known brands .

Are there good local boutiques?

Where can one find the factory outlets for the known brands?

Via del Corso- This is THE main street for shopping. If you're visiting, it's great because you can start at the beautiful Piazza del Popolo and finish at Piazza Venezia stopping at the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain on the way and shopping the swankiest of shops all along the way.



The highest end stores (Gucci, Armani, D%26amp;G stores etc.) are located just east of via del Corso, along the small streets between Corso and Spanish steps.



Another good one is via Cola di Rienzo. Lots of hot stores and when you get to the end, (starting from Piazza di Popolo) you are at the Vatican.



The botiques are all in the small alleyways stemming off of Corso.



There are a few outlet stores on the highways, but they're not very similar to those in the states. You'll find shopping a very different experience. Italians do not wait hand and foot on the customer, so don't be offended. They never have change and will send you elsewhere instead of finding change for you. At the stores you're thinking about, however, there'll be little change left when you're done.
