Gruppo Storico Romano Gladiator School
Train like a gladiator at a historic reenactment school. Learn sword fighting techniques, wear authentic armour, and spar with your partner. A wildly unique date activity.
Colosseum & Roman Forum View Walk
20 min walk. Stroll from the Appian Way area towards the Colosseum. Walk the perimeter and up to the Palatine Hill viewpoint for sweeping views of the Forum without the crowds.
Terre e Domus
5 min walk. Restaurant with a terrace directly overlooking the Imperial Forums. Regional Lazio dishes made with local ingredients — try the abbacchio and artichoke risotto.
Aroma Restaurant & Bar
10 min walk. Rooftop bar of the Palazzo Manfredi hotel with jaw-dropping Colosseum views. Sip a cocktail with the illuminated amphitheatre right in front of you.
Comments
Gladiator school was the most fun we've had on any date, ever. My partner got really competitive with the sword fighting 😂
Same! The instructors are actual historical reenactors, they take it seriously but make it fun.
Aroma rooftop bar with the lit-up Colosseum is unreal — book a table on the terrace or you'll end up inside with no view
Couples who want an unforgettable, only-in-Rome experience
Morning gladiator class into afternoon and evening
