Impressions of Rome (Italy)

Ok, I've decided it's actually a shame to launch right into shopping-related posts without dedicating one separate post to the city I happen to be in. I'll probably do the same (in some cases retrospectively) for other locations as well.

So on to Rome! Not the shopping capital of Italy (there's Milan for that and perhaps Florence would come in second) but the capital nevertheless and probably one of the most beautiful. My priority when it comes to Rome, is to see as much of the actual city as possible, stuff myself with good food and perhaps if I see something interesting shopping-wise, I’ll pop in for a moment. But Rome isn’t a place where I will purposefully dedicate a day or two just to spend in retail environments (unlike London or NYC). So a fair warning: the Roman shops I’m going to post about will be relatively random, depending on which places I happened to pass.

As my Significant Other likes to put it: Rome is like one big outdoor museum. I couldn't agree more. You can't really walk around without bumping into another monument every 2 minutes. Paris can be like that, but the big avenues make it less noticeable. Below just a few more pics...
