My wife & I are going to be in Rome for a week in June, trying to decide between the Hotel majestic on Vittorio Veneto or Hotel Spalletti on Via Piacenza. Also good restaurants near them. My wife wants to know were is the best place to do some serious shopping in Rome.
Many thanks

As to the hotel question, check them out on tripadvisor.com and/or venere.com for user reviews. (the Spalletti Trivelli had great reviews on tripadvisor) As for shopping, if your wife is looking at the high end, high fashion area, there a tons of shops on the main drag below the Spanish Steps (via del condotti). Also many shops on via del corso, but not as high end. Most of the restaurants I like are by the Piazza Navona, about a 15 minute walk from your the Spalletti. I have them on my VT Rome page. Ciao, Karl
Take a walk from the Colosseum to Roman Forum Met Tong Pei Hua (1st one on the right) from China and two of her friends at Vatican, since one of her friend (2nd on the right) is studying in Rome for his Roman history doctorate degree, he took us on a whirlwind walking tour of Rome, we not only need to catch up in speed and also in historical knowledge.
Many streets are cobblestone (San Pietrini) if you're wearing heels they may get stuck. A wedge or flat soled shoe is easier to walk in. For any low wattage items you can just use an adapter. Get them cheaper at https://www.voltage-converter-transformers.com/plugadapters.html
I use them for my cell phone and laptop. Don't use these for curling irons (you'll burn your hair) or heating items.
Besides sight-seeing, shopping has to be the #1 reason to go to Rome! Most of the designer stores (Gucci, Armani, Bvalgari, etc.) are located at Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps), but you will find a variety of shops, boutiques, and stores throughout the piazza's. Since converting to the EUR, the exchange rate is much easier to figure out for those using the USD. I found the exchange rate prices to very comparable to those that I would pay here in Dallas TX.
