Roam to Rome This Father's Day

Travellers who fancy lazily strolling around a Rome market in the afternoon to find the perfect father's day gift will find the perfect opportunity presenting itself this Sunday.

The monthly bargain market, or La Soffitta Sotto i Portici, as the locals say, will be taking place on June 18th 2004, perhaps allowing travellers to shop 'til they drop to find that special something.

Fans of great wares at even better prices might want to treat their dads, or even themselves, by jumping on flight to the ancient city, to view goods from over 100 exhibitors, according to whatsonwhen.

If enthusiasts can't make the journey this weekend there's no need to panic, the market takes place on the first and third Sunday of every month in Piazzo Augusto Imperatore.

Items on display range from classical collectors items and antiques, to modern objects like watches and furniture.

Even if day-trippers and weekend visitors can't find what they're looking for, the journey might not be wasted, as beautiful historic literature and architecture litter the city, giving many the opportunity to absorb themselves in the ancient culture.
