My most recent trip was to the magnificent city of Rome, Italy. Luckily my mom lives there, so finding a place to stay wasn't a problem for us!
A look at my first day there:

View of Piazza del Popolo
Lots of fancy designer stores by via Condotti*
Perfect end to the day!
*Gelato tip: don't waste your time at gelato places right by the tourist attractions; the hidden shops are where the locals go and have the best variety.
However, I do applaud one of the big names, Giolitti, whose creamy gelato was topped with whipped cream for free! I ordered a scoop of blueberry and one of oreo biscotti:
(Okay, I didn't spend all my time eating these amazing desserts...)
*A quick word about the shopping: If you simply want to visit your usual European/young adult fashion stores, your best bet is Via del Corso, even with the crowds. If, however, you might be looking for something truly unique, then any street close to urban areas will satisfy your needs. For example, if you're looking for wood products like the shops that make Pinocchio, you'll likely happen across one eventually. The one I visited on my way to the Pantheon is Bartolucci, which sold cute little wood toys and Pinocchio Standard dolls.
