How to Spend a Romantic Weekend in Rome

Whether you are planning your honeymoon or simply a romantic weekend for Valentine’s Day, Rome is the perfect destination for any couple in search for an adventure filled with romance.

Known as the Eternal City, Rome is a pretty romantic city itself with lots of breathtaking places to visit, beautiful streets that are filled with ancient history, picturesque picnic spots, and cozy trattorias. If you are looking for a romantic city break with your special someone, Rome is the perfect destination. Here are 5 ideas for a weekend filled with romance in one of the most popular and spectacular European capitals.

Visit the city on a Vespa

The labyrinthine streets from the Italian capital are best to visit while riding a Vespa. Rent a Vespa and start exploring the city while zipping by the busy markets and parks, going around the famous attraction Colosseum, and ride along the narrow alleys.

If you and your loved one are looking for a Hollywoodian type of romantic experience, riding a Vespa around the city will certainly be the best way to do it.

Pack your picnic basket and go on Aventine Hill

If you are a fan of panoramic views, there is no other better place where you can admire the entire city than the Aventine Hill. This place is simply the best spot from the entire city from where you can enjoy sunset-watching with your special someone.

All you have to do is to pack your picnic basket with some local food and a bottle of your favorite wine, take a blanket, and grab your loved one by her hand and go to the Giardino Delgi Aranci atop the Aventine.

Make a wish at the Trevi Fountain

Perhaps there is no one in the world who never heard of the famous Trevi Fountain. You can also see it in thousands of romantic movie scenes. This is the best place from Rome where you and your spouse can make some meaningful wishes regarding your future.

The local tradition claims that every person who visits the fountain should throw three coins into the water. One coin represents a return to Rome, the second one represents finding new romance, and the third one represents a marriage.

Visit the Sistine Chapel

Rome is a place full of very famous touristic attractions so there is no way you can get bored during your vacation to the Eternal city. One of the most famous touristic attractions is the Vatican City where you can take in Michelangelo’s spectacular frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. You can admire the breathtaking “The Creation of Adam” high up on the ceiling of the chapel. Also, another must-visit place is the St. Peter’s Basilica which had the title of the largest church in the entire world until 1990.

Visit the spectacular Colosseum

There is no way you and your loved one can return back home from Rome without visiting Colosseum. Known as the largest amphitheater in the world, Colosseum is one of the most fascinating historical structure in the world. It is believed that it has been completed in the year 80 A.D and, weirdly, it is still standing strong. You and your loved one can talk a walk inside the Colosseum while holding hands tight.
