Markets Vatican

This is Rome's largest food market, located in the cosmopolitan Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, next to Termini. It used to be held in the piazza itself, but was moved to allow the square to undergo a facelift. In a cheerful, colorful atmosphere, the stalls overflow with spices from all over the world. All around, Indian grocery stores and Asian restaurants. Don't miss the fish market. A unique atmosphere and a privileged place in Rome to stock up on exotic produce!

A reference to Rome, the market takes place around the statue of Giordano Bruno, a philosopher monk burned there during the Inquisition, to whom the Italian power of 1870 wanted to pay tribute, as a challenge to the papacy. There are fruits and vegetables, fish, cheeses, delicatessen, flowers, as well as all Roman and Italian specialities. Admittedly, it is not the most typical market in the city as there are so many products intended for tourists, but its visit is pleasant.

Via Sannio, located south of Piazza San Giovanni, is part of the Appio piazzale. There will be clothes, shoes and cheap clothes on cluttered displays, including second-hand coats and leather jackets. Good deals in the mess and mess! Go there on Saturdays, the day when there are more salespeople, and snoop around to find the rare pearl. You should know that there are a lot of second-hand clothing stalls in Rome, it's a very good plan, and ecological too!

A picturesque market frequented by locals for foodstuffs, but also renowned for its stalls of bargain shoes sold at very good prices. If the Testaccio district is full of good addresses for lunch or dinner, you should know that its market is too. Mordi & Vai is one of the best sandwich shops in town! The bread is garnished with Roman specialties such as tripe or artichoke à la romaine. A great place to grab a bite to eat before visiting the neighborhood!

Every weekend, at the Mercato Campagna Amica, a stone's throw from the Circo Massimo, you can find the best of Lazio's products. Local farmers, all members of the Coldiretti (the Italian farmers' association), come to sell their products (cheese, cold cuts, fruit and vegetables, honey...). It's also the ideal place to eat a pasta dish or a porchetta sandwich in the large courtyard of the halls, which turns into a real lively canteen! On Sundays, you have to arrive early to find a table!
