Without doubt Rome is one of the most romantics cities in the world, full of : little streets, lovely cafés to sit and enjoy a cappuccino,
charming piazzas with street artists playing tarantella (a folk italian music) or even singing opera and  beautiful fountains in every corner.

If you are coming with that special someone, don’t forget to take a minute and watch the sunset in one of these places:

  • Gianicolo: if you are in Trastevere is really easy to get there: take Via Garibaldi, that street leads onto the place, on your way you’ll see a big fountain called Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, it’s really impressive and also offers a great view, nevertheless keep on going, because the Gianicolo offers a unique opportunity to get a panoramic view of Saint Peters dome on one side and on the other the center of Rome. Best things is that it’s free!
  • Castel Sant’ Angelo: try to visit it in the afternoon, in the winter you can catch the sunset at 17:30 more or less, from the top you can enjoy the view of the river Tiber and the storical center.
  • Giardino degli aranci (Orange Trees Garden): In the winter the trees are full of fruits therefore since you get in you’ll sense its perfume, the view is fascinating: the river Tiber, Trastevere, the domes in the center, the gianicolo hill, the Tiber Island. In the same street at the end, you’ll see a big gate, look closely through the little hole, you can see St. Peter’s Basilica. From the metro B Circo Massimo: Take Via del Circo Massimo, when you get to the Piazzale Ugo La Malfa turn left at Via di Valle Murcia, go straight, that street turns into Via di Santa Sabina, the garden is at the Park Savello at the end.
  • Pincio: From it’s terrace you’ll get the view of the storical center, the Castel Sant’Angelo and Saint Peter’s Dome. The easiest way to get there is by metro A Flaminio, got to the Piazza del Popolo, there is a ramp, go up, if had eaten a big pizza you might need a few minutes to catch your breath, but believe me, it’s worth it!! Anyway there is another option, go to the metro Spagna, take the Monti steps, pass the church at your right and continue until you get to Piazza Napoleone I, then you’re there!

BTW if you decided to visit the last suggestion and you still can’t get enough of romanticism, perhapes before that you could go to the
Lake’s Garden in Villa Borghese, you could rent a boat there and row in front of the Esculapio Temple, which is an imitation of a greek temple.

Rome is always enchanting, full of colours and terribly romantic, so for those who are single in this day: take precautions!!!. No matter where you go, you’ll surely find something that will take your breath away.  Don’t forget to take your time sit somewhere to just observe the people walking, the voices of the Italians (loud enough trust me) and a big gelato.

Non c’è dubbio che Roma sia una delle città più romantiche al mondo, quale miglior posto per rilassarsi con un cappuccino se non un incantevole bar nei vicoletti della Città Eterna? Potrete ascoltare gli artisti di strada in una delle numerose piazze della Città e fermarvi ad ammirare le fontane romane.

Se vieni con la tua dolce metà non dimenticarti di osservare il tramonto da uno di questi posti:

Il Gianicolo: da Trastevere arriverai in un attimo: percorri Via Garibaldi fino alla fine, a circa metà strada troverai la cosiddetta Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, grandissima e che offre uno scorcio indimenticabile della Città; ma non farti incantare e prosegui fino al Gianicolo, è l’unico posto di Roma da cui potrai vedere entrambi i lati della Cupola di San Pietro. La cosa migliore: è gratis!
Castel Sant’Angelo: consigliamo di visitarlo nel pomeriggio, in inverno il sole tramonta alle 17.30 e dall’alto l’immagine del Tevere che passa per il centro storico è a dir poco indimenticabile.
Il Giardino degli Aranci: in inverno gli alberi sono pieni di frutti perciò appena entrato verrai avvolto dall’aroma degli agrumi, la veduta è affascinante: Il Tevere, Trastevere, le cupole del centro, il colle Gianicolo e l’isola Tiberina. Percorrendo la strada fino alla fine troverai un portone, guardando attraverso il buco della serratura vedrai la Basilica di San Pietro. Per arrivare: metro B fermata Circo Massimo, percorri Via del Circo Massimo, una volta arrivato in Piazzale Ugo La Malfa gira a sinistra in Via di Valle Murcia, continua fino a Via di Santa Sabina. Il Giardino si trova all’interno del Parco Savello.
La Terrazza del Pincio: forse la più famosa vista di Roma, si vede Castel Sant’Angelo e la Cupola di San Pietro. La m aniera più comoda per arrivare è prendere la linea A della metro fino a Flaminio, attraversa la Porta del Popolo e dall’omonima Piazza e sali la rampa di scale sulla sinistra.

Tra l’altro dopo aver visitato la Terrazza del Pincio ma il tuo animo romantico non è sazio puoi passeggiare fino al laghetto di Villa Borghese, affittare una barchetta e remare fino al tempio di Esculapio, una carinissima imitazione di un tempio greco.

Roma Romantica

Come ben noto ad intere generazioni di coppiette, romantici e viaggiatori di ogni paese, dal lungo viale alberato del Gianicolo è possibile ammirare uno degli scorci più suggestivi dell’universo. La passeggiata panoramica muove verso sud, tra i busti di marmo raffiguranti illustri garibaldini che contribuirono all’unità d’Italia. Verso Ovest, invece, è possibile ammirare l’ampio e scenografico “Fontanone”, eretto da Giovanni Fontana e Carlo Maderno per Papa Paolo V. Nelle immediate vicinanze, si trova la celebre chiesa di San Pietro in Montorio, nota per il tempietto rinascimentale del Bramante racchiuso nel cortile e divenuta meta storica di diverse coppie che ufficializzano religiosamente la loro unione.

Il Fontanone

Il panorama ammirabile dal Colle Gianicolo è forse il migliore a Roma: in un solo colpo d’occhio è possibile riconoscere tutti i maggiori siti storici della capitale e le grandi basiliche. Sullo sfondo gli imponenti Colli Albani, un tempo centro religioso e sacro per i primi romani, dominano la scena. Secondo una delle più antiche leggende della mitologia romana, il colle dei Gianicolo avrebbe ospitato la città fondata dal Dio Giano, questo ebbe diversi figli uno dei quali Tiberino, da cui deriverebbe il nome del Tevere (Tiber in latino). Il luogo acquisì, nel tempo, la vocazione di suscitare atti eroici da Muzio Scavola a Garibaldi che, nella leggenda o nella realtà, hanno plasmato la storia di Roma. Il Gianicolo, inoltre fu uno dei teatri in cui si svolsero le lotte per l’Unità italiana: nel 1849 Garibaldi vi difese valorosamente la Repubblica romana dall’assalto delle truppe francesi. In cima al colle sotto la statua di Garibaldi è posto, dal 24 Gennaio 1904, un cannone che spara, a salve, a mezzogiorno in punto.

Il Colle del Gianicolo

Lo sparo, nei rari giorni in cui la città è meno rumorosa si può sentire fino all’Esquilino. Questa usanza fu istituita Pio IX nel 1847, per dare uno standard alle campane delle chiese di Roma, in modo che non suonassero ognuna a mezzogiorno del proprio sagrestano, ma tutte insieme nello stesso momento.

L’Esquilino

Chi si reca a Roma non può perdere l’occasione di visitare il colle del Gianicolo.
