Rome is much about shopping as it is about sightseeing, with designer outlets and department stores found all over the city. Piazza di Spagna is the densest-packed with fashion boutiques place in the world. The duration of your shopping excursion will depend largely on the time you spend at each store, but for real shopaholics it usually takes not less than four hours.
