    Rome’s primary shopping street
    Running in the north-south direction for about 1.5 km from Piazza del Popolo to the heart of the city at Piazza Venezia, Via del Corso is Rome’s primary shopping street with shops catering to a wide range of budgets and tastes. Big brands from the Apple to Zara are all present along this bustling thoroughfare. This vibrant street is considered quite narrow for a major shopping street, with only 2 lanes for traffic and sidewalks on both sides that do get a little narrow as pedestrians and shoppers jostle for space at certain sections. While you’re there, it’s definitely worth getting lost in the maze of streets radiating from Via del Corso and stumbling upon charming boutiques and lovely piazzas.

    Magical
    I feel "home" when I am in Rome. It is the most incredible I have ever been. I was going a couple times a year and am now continuing that. I will eventually be spending 3 months at a time there. Everywhere you look there is history and beauty. The food is incredible of course! One of the best ways to experience the Eternal City is to walk. Wander the streets away from the tourist areas and discover all of the hidden treasures. Sit outside a cafe with a drink and just absorb it.

    Major street linking Piazza del Popolo with to Piazza Venezia
    This is a nice sightseeing and shopping street that runs 1.5 km, linking Piazza del Popolo (northwest) to Piazza Venezia (southeast). Loads of retail shops, places to grab a gelato or coffee. There are a handful of Baroque churches along with other notable buildings that line Via del Corso. I enjoy making the full walk along Via del Corso which is nice if you've time to do so. Otherwise, you can enjoy shorter stretches while crisscrossing east to west if doing highlight style sightseeing at places like Piazza Navona and Pantheon (east) and Spanish Steps and Trevi Fontana (west) of Via del Corso.

    Linking Popular Piazza Venezia & Piazza del Popolo
    Via del Corso is a long, busy road, and one of the main arteries of Rome. It connects the lovely Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia and the monumental, wedding-cake building dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II. Both are popular sights and Via del Corso provides a direct walking path between them. At the Piazza del Popolo end, via del Corso is flanked by the beautiful twin domed churches of Santa Maria in Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto. I generally prefer wandering down side streets, meandering and exploring but if you want a path that will take you straight as the crow flies, then this is it.

    Popular and Busy Thoroughfare Known for Shopping
    This is the main throughfare connecting the Piazza del Popolo to the Piazza Venezia where the Vittorio Emanuele II monument is located. It passes near some of the most famous sights in Rome including the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. However, it is primarily a busy shopping street with high end stores. It was extremely crowded on a Saturday morning. I prefer wandering through smaller cobblestoned streets and lanes to experience the atmosphere of the city.

    Great Street for your shopping needs
    If you are a shopping geek, Del corso is the right place. It has all the great stores and big brand names like Gap, Mango, Prada, Gucci and Alcot. The street looks very lively with groups of tourists cris crossing the route to catch a glimpse of the abundant attractions some of them located parallel to Del Corso. It becomes Very crowded and that’s when you have to be wary of pick pockets.

The final section of the Via Flaminia, the central part of the Trident, Via del Corso was not always called that way: until the 15th century it lived under the name Via Lata (“Wide”). And only when Pope Paul II moved the carnival races from the Gestaccio closer to Palazzo Venezia, the street was paved, put in order and christened Corso (“Running”). A few decades were enough for it to turn into the main social promenade of the city - and Corso successfully plays this role to this day. Where noble Romans and guests of Rome used to travel in carriages, it is now customary to travel on foot: the Corso is closed in the evenings and weekends, and visitors to the surrounding shops have the one and a half kilometer street at their complete disposal. If you manage to take a break from the shops, you will find heavy post-Renaissance palaces above and between the windows, inevitable churches and a view of the Typewriter as a backdrop. In passing, we noticed some buildings: Goethe lived in N18. The impressive red-brick Palazzo Ruspoli hosts interesting exhibitions. corner Palazzo Chigi, where Italian prime ministers meet, Colonna di Marco Aurelio, Galleria Alberto Sordi. And of course, there are interesting churches on Corso towards the end - San Marcello al Corso and Santa Maria in Via Lata. We’ve been here three times and all three times the weather was different, then ❄️❄️❄️snow, then sizzling ☀️☀️☀️sun, then torrential ☔️☔️☔️rain! If you need the residence of all the main boutiques of Rome, then this is the block between the square. Spain and pl. Popolo!☝️

A very long shopping street with dozens of shops from all the leading brands.
The street starts in Piazza Venezia and ends in Piazza del Popolo.
Shopping lovers can spend at least half a day on this street.
The street is very close to some of the main attractions in Rome.
Not recommended for young children
Prices are not cheap

We'd never been to Rome before so when I chose the hotel on via del Corso as it seemed fairly central I had no idea what to expect. Shops, eateries, bars from the p. Venezia to the p. Popolo. Closest attractions were Trevi, Spanish Steps and the Pantheon. Only 15-20 minutes walk to Colosseum. We really did win a watch by choosing a hotel located on vdC. Easy access to public transport at one end and a pedestrian precinct at the other. Some Government buildings on or close by too, including the parliament building.

Walking the length of this street gets you from one great place to another - Alter of the Fatherland to Piazza Popola. But it is just a street and maybe post-Covid, it has suffered a bit - I'm not sure. It just didn't have much to grab. Sorry.

Long straight street with a collection of lots of shops and the odd bar and restaurant. Most of the shops are the usual high street places. However do go to the Christmas Shop in Galleria Alberto Sordi. They do Christmas decorations that you can put your name on etc for a really great memory. Also makes for great presents for the family.

With one end at Vittorio Emanuele's monument and the other in Piazza de Poppolo, Via del Corso it's one of the streets you don't need to miss when in Rome. You find here most of the international brands to shop from. And if your pocket permits you, you'll find near Via Condoti with luxury stores such as Prada, Moncler, Dolce & Gabbana and many others.

Via Del Corso is a popular shopping area with many branded and regular items. July-August are popular months when these shops offer discounts which are not otherwise available. If you are shopping for leather items (hand bags, purses, belts, jackets etc.) do not Miss Alfieri (near Piazza Popolo). We found this little shops with good choices and reasonable prices as compared to other shops in the area.

The Via Del Corso is a major shopping street that runs from the Piazza Del Popolo in the north of Rome to the Piazza Venezia in the south of Rome. During the day, evenings, Sundays and public holidays the street is a heaving mass of locals and tourists alike. As people stroll down the street many just window shop, whilst the tourists buy reminders of their own Roman holiday, and the fashion aficionados look for the latest trendy item to add to their wardrobe.

The Via Del Corso enables easy access to many of central Rome’s most famous tourist sights and shopping streets. Branching off the main street one can easily reach the Trevi Fountain, The Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the exclusive shops along Via Condatti. Midway along the Via Del Corso lies the up-market shopping arcade Gallerie Alberto Di Sordi where the well-heeled stop for a coffee, cake and discuss the latest gossip. The Gallerie is directly opposite the Piazza Colonna with imposing Column of Marcus Aurelius.

Further along the Via Del Corso ends at the Piazza Venezia, with the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele. Continuing on past Piazza Venezia there is the Campidoglio, and the Capitaoline Museums or just continue walking along the Via dei Fori Imperiali surrounded by the Roman Forums and eventually to the Colosseum.

Via del Corso is one of Rome's main streets. The northern part of the street is pretty much pedestrian only (shared with the occasional police car) and it is wonderful for strolling. There are more moderately-priced shopping choices here than in the area immediately around the Spanish Steps.
