The Most Romantic Areas in Rome
Rome is inherently romantic — ancient ruins, cobblestone streets, and candlelit trattorias create an unforgettable atmosphere for couples. We've selected the two neighborhoods that capture the city's most intimate side: Trastevere with its bohemian charm and evening magic, and Monti with its artistic soul and hidden wine bars.
Both areas offer boutique hotels, quiet piazzas for morning coffee, and restaurants where you'll want to linger for hours. Less crowded than Centro Storico but still walkable to major sights.
Trastevere
The most romantic neighborhood in Rome. Wander cobblestone streets lit by amber streetlights, dine at intimate trattorias, and discover hidden piazzas. Evening strolls along the Tiber, aperitivo at sunset, and the charming Santa Maria church make this the perfect couples' retreat.
