With Kiss Me Italy, winter proposals in Rome cost from €1,590 at the Trevi Fountain to €1,900 for a private rooftop at midnight on 31 December. Winter days in Rome are often mild and sunny, around 5 to 14°C.

Trevi at Dawn: Why Winter Is Best
Since February 2026, visitors pay a small ticket to step close to the water of the Trevi Fountain from 9am to 10pm (from 11:30am on Mondays and Fridays). Before 9am access is free and the square is quiet. In winter the sun rises late, between about 7am and 7:40am, so a dawn proposal does not require a very early start, and the low light on the marble is beautiful. Our Winter Dawn Proposal at the Trevi Fountain adds breakfast together after the yes.
Rome at Christmas and New Year
From 8 December to 6 January Rome is dressed for the holidays, with lights in the historic streets, nativity scenes in the churches and the Christmas market in Piazza Navona. The Christmas Lights Proposal takes you through the lights to a panoramic spot over the domes. On New Year’s Eve, the rooftop proposal gives you a private terrace above the city as the fireworks rise from every neighbourhood.

Valentine’s Day in Rome
In 2027 Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday. The Valentine’s Day Rose Proposal dresses a private terrace with garlands and red roses, with the sunset over Rome around 5:40pm. More cities in our Valentine’s Day proposal in Italy guide.
