Mercato Di Testaccio
Testaccio's famous morning market packs a punch with its earthy old-school attitude and fresh, cheap produce - think crates crammed with mussels, counters piled with cheeses, and stall after stall of wallet-friendly footwear. Head in early, grab a slab of pizza rossa (pizza with tomato) and hunt yourself a bargain.

Ponte Milvio
The scene of a famous battle in AD 312, the 2nd-century-BC Ponte Milvio is now the scene of a colourful monthly market. On the first Sunday of every month stalls spring up along the Lungotevere Capoprati (between the Ponte Milvio and Ponte Duca d'Aosta) laden with antiques and collectable clobber. As at all markets, the fun's as much in the looking as in the buying.

Porta Portese
Rome's biggest and busiest weekly flea market is held in the area extending south from Porta Portese, an ancient Roman gate on the River Tiber. There are fewer antiques these days, and much more mass-produced tat, but it's still great fun, with thousands of stalls pushing everything from bags to bikes and clothes to furniture. You have to bargain, or else it's boring. It gets incredibly crowded so watch out for pickpockets.

Underground
This monthly market indeed takes place underground, in a subterranean car park near Villa Borghese. There are more than 150 stalls selling everything from antiques and collectables to clothes and toys.

Via Sannio
This morning market in the shadow of Porta San Giovanni, near the basilica, is worth checking out if you want to update your wardrobe staples. There's a good assortment of new and vintage clothes, shoes at bargain prices, and a particularly good range of jeans and leather jackets.
