Castel Romano Designer Outlet - High-End — High-End Brands

One of the most interesting shopping experiences is at the Castel Romano Designer Outlet that is a short ride from the center of Rome, Italy. If you love shopping, as I do, navigating to this shopping outlet will make for an enjoyable afternoon that is very different from walking down Via Del Corso.

Is The Castel Romano Designer Outlet Worth A Visit?

I would recommend visiting the designer outlet if you are looking to do some shopping for premium brands and don’t want to pay the high prices you will find on via Del Corso. In addition to the comfortable layout of the mall, you can eat some delicious meals, drink some wine and of course grab an espresso if you are feeling a little tired.

The animal play area was a surprise if you are traveling with a dog and they even had a vending machine that sells treats and toys for our four footed friends.

There are a lot of outdoor sitting and dining options that are great year round (I just ate outside in February) and the kid’s play area will keep them entertained.

Is There Anything Around The Castel Romano Designer Outlet?

There are some additional stores and restaurants built up around the outlet mall that are very convenient as well. These are more common around Rome, like Unieuro, Roadhouse Restaurant and an H&M Clothing Store, so I wouldn’t say that are a reason to visit the outlet mall by themselves, but as part of a larger shopping adventure, they are very convenient.

Can I Get A VAT Refund From The Outlet Mall?

If you are considering trying to get a VAT refund on your purchases at the outlet mall, please consider reviewing the post I wrote about the VAT refund process. You can claim and cash your VAT refund immediately after shopping at the on-site office. Non-EU citizens that spend a minimum of €154,95 in a single day, in a single store can claim a refund.

The Designer Outlet of Castel Romano is outside of Rome and the address is:

The outlet stores are open everyday from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM, with free onsite parking available.

How To Get To Castel Romano Outlet From Rome?

The easiest way to get to the outlet mall would be to drive. The Shopping Outlet is an easy 30 minute drive from the center of Rome, so if you are visiting the city with a car, or you are on your way south as part of your vacation, I recommend driving. In addition to the more than 2,000 spaces of free parking, there are also special charging stations for electric vehicles.

Can I Get To Castel Romano By Public Transportation?

Yes, and I can say this from experience because this is how I reached the outlet mall. There were some new elements to this journey that made it a little tricky, but I was able to reach the mall with a little planning and at a low cost. I took the Metro B subway line to the final stop: Laurentina. From there I transferred to the Cotral bus that has a stop right outside of the Metro station. You can look it up on google, their app or another app called Moovit, which I used. The bus stops right next to the outlet mall and I just needed to make a 10 minute walk with sidewalks to reach the entrance.

How Do I Get From Termini To Castel Romano?

If you are near Termini, another easy way to reach the outlet mall is to take a shuttle bus that runs everyday between it and Termini station. The shuttle costs €15 for a round trip ticket, with children under 10 riding for free. The times are:

Departure from Termini (via Giolitti, 48) to the Castel Romano Outlets: 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00
Departure from the Castel Romano Outlets to Termini (via Giolitti, 48): 16:00, 17:00, 18:30 and the final ride is at 19:30
