The Janiculum (Gianicolo), a hill in western Rome, is one of the most romantic locations known for breathtaking views of the innumerable domes and bell towers that pierce the skyline of the multi-hued architectural museum. Aventino is one of the legendary Seven Hills of Rome, which rises up near the Tiber River. You can have a great view of the entire city from the top. The Tiber looks like snake from the top of the mountain.
The Colosseo district is the heart of ancient Rome. It has the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Forum of Augustus, the Forum and Markets of Trajan, the Capitoline and its museums. The Via Sacra is the main street of ancient Rome, leading from the top of the Capitoline Hill, through some of the most important religious sites of the Forum (where it is the widest street), to the Colosseum. Via Sacra was a place used during the welcome parades for the commanders of Roman armies. On a warm night of summer, as you walk up thru this large stoned road, off the Colosseum, and continue as it swirls up the Palatinum hill, sided by thick trees, you will hardly meet anyone, making this stroll in the middle of the ancient Rome, a perfectly romantic walk.
