Cafferelli Terrace
A spectacular backdrop for an unforgettable moment, this is what the magical Terrazza Caffarelli offers. Located near the Capitoline Museums, just a two-minute walk from Capitol Square, to reach it you’ll have to pass under a historic archway, where you can exchange a romantic kiss before continuing to Piazzale Cafferelli and arriving at the vantage point. Here you will be surrounded by historical wonders, each side will amaze you. Going from a magnificent view of the imposing Theater of Marcellus and the Major Temple, to one of the Vittoriano and Santa Maria in Aracoeli, choosing the perfect spot to kneel down and pull out the phantom little box will not be difficult.
Villa Borghese Pond
Shaded by ancient trees, facing the Temple of Aesculapius, the Pond of Villa Borghese is the ideal place for an intimate and romantic proposal. A fairy-tale place, perfect for a romantic walk surrounded by nature and the stillness of the pond, where the loudest sound is that of hearts beating for each other. If you prefer a private moment and a memory that you will jealously guard just the two of you to the scenic proposal, the Villa Borghese Pond is definitely the ideal choice.
Mount Opium Little Garden
If you are looking for a panoramic view of the symbol of Rome, then the Giardinetto del Monte Oppio is the place for you. A breathtaking panoramic view – especially at sunset – of the Colosseum, but not as touristy and definitely much more romantic, perfect for kneeling down and popping the question to your sweetheart. About a 5-minute walk from the Colosseo metro stop, after a short walk to Largo Agnesi, you only need to take Via del Monte Oppio and climb a wide flight of steps to reach your destination.
Oro Bistrot
It is said that to win someone over you must take them by the throat, so what better day to impress your sweetheart with unsurpassed Italian cuisine? On the top floor of the NH collection hotel is Oro Bistrot, an atmospheric restaurant nestled among the beauty of the Eternal City with a breathtaking view of the Imperial Forum and an excellent menu. We found the place for you, now all you have to do is make a reservation and prepare the ring.
Belvedere Monte Ciocci
“But tell me how many times you’ve seen the sky above Rome and said how beautiful it is…viettelo a vedere’ dall’alto” so goes the famous phrase painted on the little wall of Monte Ciocci. Probably one of the romantic places par excellence in the capital, located in the Trionfale Balduina neighborhood and accessible from via Apulejo or via Lucilla, with an incredible panoramic view that leaves you speechless every time. Imagine: the lights of Rome turn on at dusk, the sky is tinged with red and with this scenery behind you you are about to say the famous three words, which will bind you and your partner until death do you part. Monte Ciocci will give you a magical and unforgettable moment, where there is just the two of you and the eternal city as your backdrop.
Orange Garden
A place that smacks of romance, where Venditti’s “Remember me” rings in your head every time you get there. On the Aventine Hill, in the vicinity of the Circus Maximus, the Garden of Oranges is the undisputed home of some of the most beautiful sunsets in Rome. Take your sweetheart‘s hand andstroll down the avenue lined with maritime pines to the terrace overlooking St. Peter’s Dome. Let yourself be carried away by the evocative atmosphere of this place and the strong emotions of a memorable moment that you will remember forever.
Umberto I Bridge
To call the walk along the Umberto I Bridge spectacular is putting it mildly. A unique view of St. Peter’s Dome, which from afar stands out in the capital’s sky for a proposal with a magnificent backdrop, crazy photos and an indelible memory of this very special moment. If this location has everything you’re looking for, but you’d prefer a private corner to take the plunge, all you have to do is walk down the stairs you’ll find along the bridge and you’ll find yourself on the banks of the Tiber, again with the Dome as a backdrop.
