Even the usual romantic dinner with your partner can turn to be an occasion of discovery. The great thing about the St. Valentine's Day dinner is that you can choose to have your romantic meal with your partner without having to interrupt your tour around the city: for example Tramjazz offers a night of entertainment that is simultaneously a jazz concert, a delicious candlelight dinner and a tour of the center of Rome by night. The historical cable cars has-been restored and converted into a traveling restaurant and a concert hall. Or you can choose between the different solutions of a dinner Cruise on the Tiber River. The night view of the most famous monuments of Rome, Castel Sant'Angelo, St. Peter, the Tiber Island is really unforgettable.

Here you can buy for you partner very original flowers compositions, made by glass, wood, wax, resin and pottery to remember your romantic day. Finally a bit of shopping can not miss: lonely hearts, La perla, and Zouzou are some of the most luxury lingery boutiques in Rome.
