5 romantic plans in Rome

Rome-bridge
From Italy it is impossible to mention a city without mentally labeling it. Milan is related to design, fashion and furniture; Modena with good vinegar and the Ferraris; to Florence with the Renaissance; to Venice with romanticism… But what about Rome?

Its coliseum reminds us that it was the capital of the glorious Roman Empire, a place where all kinds of emperors who left their mark passed. However, it must be said that the most important city in Italy is more than just the preferred setting for many historians. There, too, one breathes love, especially if such plans are put into practice. romantic like the ones I share with you in this article. Will you accompany me

Milvio Bridge

Ponte-Milvio
A book as romantic as ‘I desire you‘, By the Italian Federico Moccia, made the Milvio Bridge fill with padlocks hooked by couples who wanted to immortalize their love. However, the majority of the representatives of the XX municipality of Rome approved the removal of padlocks in 2011, so you're not going to see even half of what appears in the photograph. The reason for the withdrawal? Padlocks apparently compromised the stability of lampposts and walls. Despite this, you can go to the Milvio Bridge to imagine yourself in the place where the protagonists of ‘Ho voglia di te’ placed a padlock with a lot of meaning.

The Trevi Fountain

Fontana di Trevi
It is one of the most spectacular and visited monuments in Rome. He is a fantastic exponent of Baroque It is 20 meters wide by 26 meters high, making it the largest fountain in the capital of Italy.

The myth of the Trevi Fountain it is what we can relate to romanticism. According to the 1954 film "Three Coins at the Fountain," tossing coins into the water can have three different meanings:


- If you flip a coin you will return to Rome
- If you toss two coins you will have a new romance
- If you toss three coins you will get married or divorced

There are also those who say that throwing three coins with the right hand over the shoulder brings luck, so do not be surprised to see other tourists doing it. In fact, it is estimated that more than a million euros is thrown into coins each year, money that is used to finance projects of charity and solidarity.

The Orange Garden

It is in the Savello Park, which practically everyone calls the Orange Garden because of the multitude of orange trees that we find there. It is an ideal place to enjoy the sunset in good company, more than anything for the privileged views it offers of the city. It was designed by Raffaele De Vico in 1932 and since then it has been one of the main attractions for tourists seeking tranquility, as well as being highly appreciated by locals. Unlike what happens in other parts of Rome, there you can take a break surrounded by greenery while enjoying the aroma of oranges.

Boat ride on the Villa Borghese pond

Villa-Borghese
In the most important park in Rome, which was opened to the public in 1903 by decision of the Borghese family, you can delight in a pleasant and romantic boat trip. The entrance to the gardens, which are open 24 hours, is free. What is paid is the Galleria Borghese, whose entrance costs 15 euros (8.50 euros if you are a citizen of the European Union with between 18 and 25 years old or 2 euros if you are under 18 years old). There is also the Rome Zoo, the Pincio Water Clock and the Silvano Toti Globe Theater, a copy of the Shakespeare’s Globe Theater in London.

Aqueduct Park

Walking around Rome hand in hand is very romantic, but you probably want to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the big city with your partner. In that case, I recommend the Aqueduct Park, which is 8 kilometers from the center and is accessible by metro thanks to the Lucio Sesto and Giulio Agricola stations (line A). You can also go by bus taking it near the Plaza de Cinecittà.

In the park you can see two aqueducts, the Aqua Felix and Aqua Claudia, as well as a 2nd century palace. You can rent bikes for a walk in a wonderful environment where you can breathe peace and tranquility.
