Rome is a very romantic city, but there are some places that make you dream. Do you want to observe the city at sunset? Or see the thousand little lights that light up the night? If the answer is yes, then you must visit these incredible places in the capital city. Have you been there yet@?
Orange Garden – Ripa
We are within walking distance of the Circus Maximus and the spectacular Rome that attracts so many tourists from all over the world every year. Tranquill@, I already know what you are thinking about. You don’t like tourist places. Okay, the orange garden is certainly not a place where you will be alone@. Not this one, but you won’t find the crowds at the Pincio either! We recommend visiting it at sunset, when the sky turns red and the view of Rome becomes romantic. Here you will also be able to pay attention to one particular optical effect that leaves everyone speechless.
📍 Where: Piazza Pietro D’Illiria, 00153 Rome.
Via Niccolo Piccolomini – Aurelio
In the vicinity of the Janiculum Hill, there is this particular street that makes the eye “go crazy.” The farther you get from the terrace, the bigger St. Peter’s Dome looks. Here you can enjoy a unique view of all of Rome and the night becomes very romantic. Not surprisingly, it is chosen for wedding proposals and other special celebrations.
📍 Where: Via Nicolò Piccolomini, Rome.
Lovers’ fountain – Center
On the right side of the famous Trevi Fountain, there is a (lesser known) rectangular basin that is called “The Lovers’ Fountain.” According to legend, if two lovers drink water from the fountain, they remain forever faithful and in love to each other. What was the custom? Roman girls before a trip would offer a new glass of water to their beloved, which would then be broken to ensure the faithfulness of those leaving.
📍 Where: Piazza di Trevi, 00187 Rome.
Aqueduct Park – Appius Claudius
The Aqueducts Park is part of the Appia Antica Regional Park and (as you might guess from the name) here you can see the remains of the aqueducts of Ancient Rome. At sunset the park is very romantic, we recommend you choose the bench near the pond. The peace in the park and the view of the beauty of Rome will make your date unforgettable.
📍 Where: Via Lemonia, 221, 00174 Rome.
The Pincio – Center
One of the most famous places in Rome is the Pincio, the hill overlooking the Campus Martius. At this time you won’t find crowds of tourists wanting to take a picture with People’s Square in the background. All the more reason to visit the villas and gardens that occupy the hill. At sunset, however, stop at the terrace to admire the unforgettable look of the capital city. A souvenir photo cannot be missed!
📍 Where: viale Gabriele D’Annunzio, 00187 Rome.
Borromini Terrace
Admiring Piazza Navona from above at sunset is a sight not to be missed: you can have an aperitif at Palazzo Pamphilj! On the terraces you can dine, on the rooftop you can choose between aperitif or after dinner with a view of Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers.
📍 Where: Via di Santa Maria dell’Anima, 30.
Victorian viewing terrace
Have you ever gone up* to the terrace of the Victorian? You can reach the top of the monument by an elevator that takes you seventy meters up. Once there, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the entire Eternal City.
📍 Where: piazza Venezia.
Gold bistro
Another romantic spot overlooking the Altar of the Fatherland? At Oro bistro you can enjoy a cocktail on the rooftop terrace and taste the dishes of celebrity chef Natale Giunta.
📍 Where: St. Euphemia Street, 19.
Botanical garden
The botanical garden is a wonderful garden to explore. In the ancient park of Villa Corsini, once the residence of Christina of Sweden, you can surprise your other half. It is not open h24 and you pay a 5 euro ticket to enter.
📍 Where: Largo Christina of Sweden, 23 A.
Ripetta Palace
In the prestigious hotel in Rome, precisely in the Salone Bernini, there are held some magical candlelight concerts. A historic space adorned with lots of candles, where talented musicians play songs by the most appreciated artists of all time (Einaudi, Morricone, Venditti, etc.). More romantic than this…
