Five destinations for a romantic getaway in Italy

Italy has always been one of the favourite places for lovers from all over the world. 

With its romantic landscapes, history-rich cities and fascinating atmosphere, the Bel Paese offers endless possibilities: strolls through ancient hamlets, candlelit suppers in picturesque trattorias, visits to admire the wonders of the cities of art, every couple will find their own special corner of paradise. For a comfortable and sustainable travel experience, leaving the car at home, the extensive Trenitalia network provides easy solutions to reach Italy’s most romantic destinations, which True Italian Experience, the digital hub whose main partner is Trenitalia, celebrates with customised itineraries.

Among the destinations not to be missed for a holiday à deux, five stand out for their timeless charm and appeal for lovers.

Verona: the city of Romeo and Juliet

Verona is unquestionably one of Italy’s most romantic cities, thanks to the immortal love story of Romeo and Juliet. A stroll through the streets, a visit to see Juliet’s balcony and her statue, a walk around Piazza delle Erbe, an evening at the Arena di Verona are just some of the delights that make this city unique.

Florence: the cradle of the Renaissance

For couples who love art and history, Florence is not to be missed. The city provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway: stunning museums like the Uffizi and the intricately decorated cathedral, a walk hand in hand around Piazza Santa Croce before a visit to the flea market, ending the day with a tête-à-tête on a boat on the Arno to admire Ponte Vecchio from the water.

Tropea and Pizzo: Tyrrhenian gems

Located on Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast, Tropea is famous for its beaches and sparkling emerald sea. This charming resort with its narrow alleyways leading to breathtaking views over the sea provides a truly romantic experience. An evening boat trip and aperitif will be the perfect end to a day together. Also not to be missed is a day out in Pizzo, the other gem set in the Costa degli Dei. A stroll through the town centre can be followed by a visit to an ice cream parlour to try the local speciality, the Tartufo.

Alassio: the Riviera dei Fiori

Alassio, on the Ligurian Riviera, is an ideal destination for a romantic getaway. Famous not only for its beautiful beaches and colourful streets, but also for its Muretto, a wall decorated with ceramic tiles signed by well-known personalities. Built in the 1950s, the wall has become an iconic spot where couples of all ages come to whisper sweet nothings and have their photos taken. Sitting on the wall is the famous statue of two lovers in an embrace, a tribute to the tender passion Alassio inspires.

Lecce and the Salento region: Baroque architecture and crystalline sea

The Salento region, and its crowning glory, the city of Lecce, is a destination combining art, history and enchanting scenery. Known as the "Florence of the South", Lecce astonishes the visitor with its opulent Baroque architecture and winding lanes. For a romantic getaway, the Salento Express is the ideal means of travel: the night-train run by FS Treni Turistici Italiani offers a comfortable and unforgettable journey to this marvellous region, a chance to rediscover the pleasure of slow travel on a sleeper train, with the services of an attendant and a dining car.
