Why Rome for a Honeymoon trip
Honeymooners in Rome should look for a boutique palazzo hotel near Piazza Navona or the Spanish Steps with a private terrace, ideally facing domes and bell towers rather than traffic. Explore the Vatican or the Colosseum early with a private guide, then give afternoons over to long lunches and siestas. Evenings belong to aperitivo on a rooftop at sunset, a stroll past the Trevi Fountain once the crowds thin, and dinner on a quiet cobbled street in Trastevere.
Rome offers a kind of luxury no other capital can match: waking up a few streets from the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps or the Roman Forum, with two thousand years of history visible from a rooftop terrace. The best hotels occupy restored palazzi with frescoed ceilings and courtyard gardens, and the city's food culture, from trattorias to starred dining rooms, is reason enough to stay longer.
When to go: April through June and September through October are ideal, with warm days, comfortable evenings for outdoor dining and slightly thinner crowds than midsummer. July and August are hot, and many Romans leave the city in August, while winter is mild and quiet.
