Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel enjoy a romantic Roman Holiday

When one half of a celebrity couple is a pop superstar and the other is a Hollywood actress, it's difficult to get any quality alone time.

So when Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel managed to get some time out of their busy schedules, they flew to Rome for a romantic holiday.

Rather than relax on a Caribbean beach, the couple have decided on a cultural, city break in the Italian capital.

After spending the weekend together in Boston to attend a wedding of one of Biel's university friends, the couple jetted across the Atlantic in a private plane to get their fix of La Dolce Vita.

After checking into their luxury suite at one of the city's hotels, the low-key couple ventured out to see the city's designer stores and streetside cafes.

Due to the chillier temperature and rainy weather of Rome in recent days, the couple dressed in jeans and jumpers for their afternoon sojourn.

After returning from their sight-seeing, the couple were accosted by a street performer dressed as a Roman warrior.

Clearly mistaking the couple for regular gullible tourists, the man offered to pose with them for a picture... for a small fee of course.

But Biel clearly wasn't in the mood for a cheesy photo with the costumed man, leaving Timberlake to say 'no thank you' before retreating back to their hotel.

This is the second time the couple have been spotted in Europe together. Last year, Biel joined Timberlake's mother Lynn Harless in Copenhagen, Denmark and Oslo, Norway where the singer was performing.

It's been a busy year for the loved-up pair.

As well as completing another film, Timberlake, 27, has been hard at work in the studio completing his third solo album.

Meanwhile, The Illusionist star Biel, 26, has completed two films, including Nailed opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and James Marsden and providing a voiceover for upcoming sci-fi animation Planet 51.
