Rome has a network of shopping malls spread along the GRA ring road and the main consular roads. The three historic centres (Euroma2, Porta di Roma, RomaEst) lead by number of stores, but they are not necessarily the best choice for every need. Maximo, opened in late 2020, has raised the bar for dining. The WoW Side in Fiumicino remains unmatched for entertainment. This guide ranks Rome's malls by overall experience quality.
169 stores and 28 restaurants in the EUR district, the neighbourhood designed for the 1942 World Exposition. Euroma2 has the widest store catalogue among Rome's malls: Apple, Zara, H&M, Unieuro, Sephora, JD Sports, Pandora, La Feltrinelli. Ipercoop hypermarket. Three levels with a bright, modern gallery. The downside: no cinema. How to get there: Metro B (EUR Fermi stop, about 700 m walk) or by car from the GRA.
166 stores in the northern quadrant, on Via della Bufalotta. The strength for families is the combination with adjacent IKEA and Leroy Merlin in the retail park: home furnishing and fashion shopping in one trip. UCI Cinemas with 14 screens offers full programming. Stores include Zara, H&M, MediaWorld, Bershka, Starbucks. Auchan hypermarket. How to get there: Metro B1 Jonio then bus, or by car from the GRA.
96 stores and 33 restaurants on Via Laurentina, two kilometres from the GRA. Opened in November 2020, Maximo stands out for its dining: the Garden Food on the second floor combines street food kiosks and sit-down restaurants around an indoor garden. Stores include Primark, Decathlon, Euronics, La Feltrinelli, Mango. UCI Luxe cinema with 7 screens and reclining seats. Joy Village play area for children. How to get there: Metro B (Laurentina) then bus 72, 74 or 723.
Rome's largest mall by floor area: 55,000 square metres and 155 stores on two levels. RomaEst is the reference for the eastern quadrant, on Via Collatina. Primark, Decathlon, H&M, Zara, Bershka are among the anchors. Panorama hypermarket. UCI Cinemas with 12 screens. The gallery is one of the longest in Rome. How to get there: by car from the GRA, or bus from the Tiburtina area.

The WoW Side in Fiumicino has 250 outlets including the external retail park, with IKEA, Zara, H&M, Bershka, Pull&Bear. Playland entertainment area. The location in Fiumicino makes it less convenient for city dwellers, but it is reachable by train (FR1 from Trastevere and Ostiense, Parco Leonardo stop).
160 outlet stores with 30-70% discounts, 40 km from Rome on the A1 motorway. The largest outlet in Lazio by number of brands: Nike, Adidas, Guess, Levi's, Calvin Klein, Puma. MagicLand theme park is adjacent. Free parking.
