SHOPPING IN HIGH STYLE IN ROME AND MILAN

The excitement of a bargain is evermore intense as we walk through the most glamorous shopping strips in Rome and Milan, and visit traditional markets and out of the way designer factory outlets and discount stores during their January sales. Understandably the Italians like to keep this kind of annual rendezvous under raps, but our inside intelligence allows you to share in the spoils from some of the best merchandise hunting grounds in the world. Doing it in style, we stop to visit our local friends, artisan studios and famous squares, with enough time to enjoy the monuments, museums and restaurants that surround the headquarters of Italian style and fashion. We throw in a night at the opera at La Scala in Milan and experience a marvellous concert in the Colosseum of Rome. We sip our espresso at Caffè Greco and take home memories of this much-coveted dolce vita.
