Packing for Rome by Marpessa
Rome is one of the shopping capitals of the world. And even if you can?t afford anything from Gucci, Armani or Versace, there are plenty of lower priced stores and some excellent boutiques. So just make sure you leave some room in your suitcase.Comfortable and ?breathable? shoes for walking in is recommended, something with a good grip as there are a few hills in Rome.
I was in Rome in summer and there were two things I made sure I had with me at all times, a bottle of water and an umbrella (as one day I was walking around and there was a sudden downpour of rain). See my ?tourist trap? section for a tip on buying water.
