Proposing in Rome

The word ‘romance’ reflects ‘Rome’ for a reason. This ancient, ageless city in Italy contains some of the most exquisite places to ask her hand in marriage. And ask along a TripShooter Rome photographer, and you’ll be certain to have memories that linger longer than the emotions of the moment, with stunning authentic images to last a lifetime.

The best spots for proposing in Rome

The following is a list of our photographers’ favourite spots around Rome to capture your special moment:

Gianicolo (also known as Janiculum)

is a hill just outside the boundaries of the ancient city that boasts one of the best views over Rome, including its domes, bell towers and churches. It also has its own scenic assembly of busts, statues and water fountains. What more stunning way to ask her to marry you than with a backdrop of centuries spread out before you?

Villa Borghese

is another exquisite place to propose in Rome if you would like a backdrop of beautiful gardens, flowers and fountains. You’ll also have a stunning view of Rome from the top, and with its direction facing west, sunset will make your proposal truly magical.

The Roman Forum

is the heart of ancient Rome, and is a striking setting for a marriage proposal. Its crumbling monuments and sunlit grassy corners are perfect for popping the question in a romance that will last the ages.

Tiber Island

is the only island in the Tiber River, and is linked to Rome by two exquisite bridges. Have the river as your backdrop as you ask her to marry you on this charming little island, and then wander to the traditional Jewish ghetto beside it for more photos in the historical heart of Jewish culture in Europe.

Navona Square

has a bright, grand city feel, with beautiful buildings and grand facades surrounding the square, and the Fountain of the Four Rivers featuring as its centerpiece. It’s a lively and authentic place to remember your love with all the richness and colour of Italy.
