4 Best Outlet Stores in Rome

If you’re looking for a one-stop spot with a multitude of world fashion brands, Castel Romano Designer Outlet can be a great start. Singular outlets are spread throughout its large open-air arcade, with plenty of spots with benches and chairs to pause in between your shopping walks. 

You won’t find the Italian behemoths like Prada and Gucci here, but you will find the regulars like Versace, Hugo Boss, Burberry, Levi’s and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as world sports brands such as Nike and Adidas. Castel Romano is around a 45-minute drive south from central Rome.

On the far outskirts of Rome, around 45 minutes’ drive east from downtown, you can enjoy a day out shopping inside this grand mall. Valmontone Outlet features a spacious shopping plaza where around 180 brand stores offer their best goods with seasonal discounts. You’ll find all the known international labels like Calvin Klein and United Colors of Benneton, together with Italian names you maybe haven’t heard of (but which are worth looking at for one-off and high-quality fashion). 

Besides shopping, you can take the kids for thrilling roller coasters and rides at the Rainbow Magicland amusement park next door.

Occupying the corner of Via Cola di Rienzo and Via Sila, around 10 minutes’ walk east from the Vatican Museums, the flagship boutique of Gente Roma houses a wide selection of brands. It’s been around since 1981, gathering top designer labels over the years such as Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Prada and Gucci to name a few. 

Most are geared towards women, with shoes, bags, jewellery and a wide range of accessories to match. You can see some of the best of the season from each designers’ collections in a single one-stop shopping experience. Expect crazy discounts for authentic designer items around the months of January and July.

Budget designer fashion items find their second life in Rome’s Vestiti Usati Cinzia, a specialty designer outlet that features second-hand but top-quality goods. The store is on Via del Governo Vecchio, just a short walk west from Piazza Novana. It’s where you can find the most fashionable vintage clothing items in Rome. 

The costume designer-owner of Cinzia stays ahead of trends by piecing together original items from previous collections by various fashion brands and showcasing them alongside newer issues. This can make it easier for you to mix and match styles for your own taste.
