With its timeless architecture, enchanting piazzas and the promise of candle-lit evenings by the Tiber, it couldn’t be more perfect for two people in love. Couples can stroll hand‑in‑hand through cobbled streets, take Vespa rides at sunset, savour gourmet cuisine with unforgettable views, and immerse themselves in Italian art and culture.
Whether it’s a last-minute break or a special celebration, a Rome holiday offers couples the perfect balance of romance, history and indulgence, creating the ideal atmosphere for an escape that’s both intimate and memorable.
Iconic Landmarks and Timeless Sights
Rome is packed with iconic landmarks and timeless sights that are perfect for soaking up culture and history together. Whether you’re marvelling at the magnificence or visiting the Trevi Fountain, the city is full of awe-inspiring moments to share and provides a stunning backdrop for those all-important holiday snaps that you’ll treasure for years to come.
Romantic Walks, Views and Hidden Corners
While it’s tricky to avoid the crowds in Rome, especially in high season, there are, thankfully plenty of romantic walks and hidden corners to the city where you can escape the hustle and bustle.
You might take a stroll through the beautiful gardens of Villa Borghese, where you can also rent a rowing boat to take out on the small lake, or hire a bicycle and go for a ride around the grounds together.
Or why not pack a picnic and a bottle of wine and climb one of several hidden viewpoints around the city, such as Aventine Hill? These lesser-known beauty spots offer quieter moments beyond the main attractions and offer the perfect setting for you to reconnect as a couple during your trip.
Fine Wine, and Dining for Romantic Evenings
Nothing says romance like sharing a delicious meal while sampling award-winning local wine. Luckily, the Roman food scene is full of intimate dinner spots that are ideal for couples, from traditional trattorie with local Italian dishes, to rooftop bars with panoramic city views. You could even take a wine tasting tour around the city or make a daytrip to a local vineyard.
Hands-On Romance – Authentic Italian Experiences
Shared activities help to build connections and strengthen bonds with those we love, so don’t be afraid to get hands-on and try something new during your trip.
Rome is a great place to do this as the city offers so many classes, activities and experiences that are perfect for couples, such as pasta-making, artisanal workshops, and private tours. Or if you’ve never been to the opera before, now is your chance – what could be more romantic than a night at the opera at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma?
Learning new skills together and sharing new experiences will make your trip even more meaningful and add an extra layer to your treasured holiday memories that you make after experiencing a Rome holiday.
