Italy’s capital offers an irresistible blend of history, culture, and la dolce vita luxury, making it the perfect destination for the perfect hen weekend.

Daytime Hen Party Ideas in Rome
Start Early with a Photoshoot Around Rome
Getting up early is far from ideal. But the only way to beat the crowds and get that iconic shot at the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps or Colosseum is to book your session for the early morning.
These beautiful backdrops will make for lasting memories and Instagram-worthy photos.

Pamper Yourself with a Spa or Hammam Treatment
After a busy morning, unwind with a luxurious spa or hammam treatment. Rome boasts several top-notch spas offering a range of services from soothing massages to invigorating hammam rituals. This is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate before the night to come.
Bulgari Spa (located in Rome’s recently opened Bulgari Hotel) is certainly the most stunning, blending ancient Roman baths aesthetic with the fashion house’s famous design. It might just be the most indulgent too; sessions don’t come cheap, ranging from €240 for a 60-minute facial treatment to €400 for a half-day ritual. But you can expect your money’s worth.

Indulge in a Brunch at Babington’s Tea Room or Vivi Bistrot
Treat yourselves to a lavish brunch (and many mimosas) at one of Rome’s top brunch spots. Not many restaurants do brunch in Rome, but those that do sure do it right. Situated right beside the Spanish Steps, Babington’s Tea Room offers a classy experience but is best for parties that don’t mind breaking the bank.
Vivi Bistrot serves delightful organic brunches across several picturesque settings, from the lush outdoor setting of Villa Pamphili to the surrounding Baroque architecture of Piazza Navona. Both options guarantee delicious food and a cosy atmosphere.
Relax by the Pool at Sanctuary Eco Retreat
If you’re visiting Rome during summer, you’ll want to build in some time at the pool (or perhaps a day at the beach). For a touch of tropical luxury in the heart of Rome, spend a relaxing afternoon by the pool at the Sanctuary Eco Retreat.
Situated a stone’s throw from the Colosseum, this urban oasis offers a serene escape where you can sip on cocktails, bask in the sun, and unwind with your best friends.

Evening Hen Party Ideas in Rome
Join a Tipsy Tour
This unique evening experience combines the best elements of travel: discovering new places, immersing yourself in Italian culture, meeting new people, and trying plenty of traditional drinks!
Our Rome Tipsy Tour is the perfect opportunity for travellers to get familiar with the city’s sights, stories, and signature drinks in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with fun, local hosts.
Go for a Sunset Photo Session at the Orange Garden
Rome has no shortage of stunning sunset vistas, and where you’ll be staying should determine which one you visit.
If you’re staying around Trastevere, Testaccio or Ostiense, make sure to check out the Orange Garden on the Aventine Hill. Overlooking the city with St. Peter’s Basilica in the distance, this spot delivers the most Instagrammable backdrop for your evening photoshoot.
If, instead, you’re staying more centrally – around the Spanish Steps or Piazza Navona – head on over to the Pincio Terrace on the Pincian Hill. Its balcony offers a stunning view over Rome’s historic centre, with the Pantheon’s domed roof perhaps the star of the show.
Master Your Pasta on a Spritz and Spaghetti Cooking Class
Experience Rome the right way by blending two timeless traditions: learning to make handmade pasta and getting slowly slaughtered on Spritz.
This Tipsy Cooking Class treats you to three traditional cocktails — Aperol Spritz, Campari Spritz and Limoncello Spritz — as you make either carbonara or cacio e pepe pasta from scratch.
At the end of the class, you’ll get to dine on your homemade dishes with your squad and your newfound foodie friends.

Hit Up Rome’s Nightclubs
End your hen party on a high note by hitting one of Rome’s clubs. While Rome may not boast the nightlife of Barcelona or Berlin, the Eternal City has something for everyone. We love Sanctuary during summer for its chic tropical vibes and Circolo degli Illuminati the rest of the year for its unpretentious localsy vibe.
But if you head out anywhere in Ostiense, San Lorenzo or Pigneto, you won’t be disappointed.
