The best events in Rome in June
Our TOP 5 events will convince you that June is a beautiful time to visit Rome. Why a trip to Rome in June is a particularly good idea is characterized mainly by the following occasions:
-
01
The Italian National Holiday
Holidays in Rome
On June 2, the whole of Italy will be celebrating the “Feast of the Republic” – the national holiday marking the founding of the Republic in 1946. In the capital, of course, the celebrations are particularly pompous. Thus, there is not only a great military parade on Via dei Fori Imperiali, but also an air show.
In this show, the aerobatic squadron “Frecce Tricolori” draws the colors of the national flag in the Roman sky. In addition, many state museums open their doors for free on this day – including the Roman National Museum with its various locations.

02
The city festival Petrus & Paulus
Holidays in Rome
The Princes of the Apostles Peter and Paul are among the most important pillars of the Catholic Church. Whoever visits the Vatican will hardly pass by their images! Since they are said to have died a martyr’s death under Emperor Nero, they were given their own holiday as early as the 4th century AD.
Today, the feast in honour of Peter and Paul is no longer celebrated in all of Italy – but in Rome even more so! At St. Peter’s Basilica, the traditional “Infiorita” is an elaborate floral display, while the evening fireworks “Girandola” is one of the most beautiful of the year.

Last opportunity for a visit in the rose garden
Park in Rome
At the foot of the Aventine, with picturesque views of Circus Maximus and the Palatine Baths, lies the beautiful Rose Garden of Rome. Its origin dates back to 1931 when the American Mary Gayley Senni bought a piece of land on the Aventine and had a rose garden built according to her ideas.
Although this was destroyed during the Second World War – but only a few meters away, on the site of a former Jewish cemetery, the present Roseto was built. Normally the garden closes mid-July so take your chance to see the beautiful flowers. An ideal place to linger on hot days – admission is free.
