Experience Rome with a loved one with this Romantic pack that combines a hop on – hop off boat tour with a meal in the Hard Rock Café.
Rome Boat Experience
Head off the beaten track with this exciting way of discovering the Eternal City.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* See Rome from the River Tiber
* Hop on and off the boat at your leisure
* Regular departures throughout the day
We invite you to explore the timeless beauty of this city from an unparalleled vantage point: the River Tiber. This beautiful winding current has brought life and breath to the heart of the city since Rome’s foundation in 753 B.C. The river, which flows from the shores of Ostia to the belly of Rome, passes alongside a series of breath-taking locations, including Isola Tiberina, Piazza del Popolo, Castel S’Angelo, Vatican City, and many more – not to mention a variety of amazing bridges.
On the one hand, navigating the modern Tiber is a splendid way of getting to know those parts of Rome usually overlooked by tourists. Learn all about the history and old customs of the Roman people, or simply relish a romantic experience.
Your ticket is valid for 24 hours with hop on-hop off formula - the best way to get to know a city. Jump off the boat at any stop that is the most interesting to you and when you are ready to continue, wait at the nearest stop for another boat to pick you up.
Hard Rock Cafe:
The biggest rocks in Rome may be at the Forum but by far the best rock is at the Hard Rock Cafe Rome. On top of the tastiest burgers and coolest cocktails in town, you can savour an unbeatable music memorabilia collection that includes items such as the trench coat worn by John Lennon during anti-war protests in the Seventies, a leather suit worn by Bono during U2’s the Zoo TV Tour and an electric guitar designed by Eddie van Halen.
Like all great revolutions, the Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t meant to succeed. It was 1971 and as the Swinging Sixties had given way to the Super Seventies, fashions and tastes were changing. Two hungry young Americans were in London and couldn’t find a decent place to eat a decent burger… so they opened up a joint in the English capital. Their landlord didn’t think it would last and gave them just a six-month lease. Four decades later, there almost 200 Hard Rock Cafes in more than 50 countries worldwide.
The first T-shirt hit the streets in ‘74 and the first piece of memorabilia came, fittingly, by chance in ‘79 when Eric Clapton asked to hang his Lead II Fender guitar over his favourite bar stool and thus mark as his spot. Today, the rock 'n' roll collection has more than 74,000 pieces and is the largest of its kind. By 1982, the Hard Rock Cafe had gone global and the rest, as they say, is history (that’s still being written)!
