Looking to book a shopping getaway in Europe? Monograms, which provides tours to Europe, has artfully shared some under-the-radar experiences from their Local Hosts in unique destinations to inspire clients to travel. Here are their suggestions:

Rome

1.     Via Dei Coronari – A narrow pedestrian street that connects Novona Square with Ponte Sant’Angelo and the Tiber. Here, travelers will find charming antiquarian shops worth a visit.
2.     Via Cola di Rienzo – Located in the Prati District by the Vatican, this bustling neighborhood is filled with Romans and shopping galore.
3.     Via Margutta – This is a short Roman street with a long, Roman history (dating back more than 2,000 years). Once the street of painter’s ateliers, this colorful road is now home to smart and exclusive design shops. Its romantic backdrop is also featured in Roman Holiday.

Paris
