ROME BY BIKE

Pedaling in small open squares, near churches, buildings... turning a corner in a small alley and finding yourself in an open space filled with ancient ruins... enjoying a break at a panoramic viewpoint and suddenly going down a sloped alley fringed with trees and secret passages through ancient walls... By visiting Rome by bike with us, in just a few days you will discover that this city is not only an outstanding open air museum, but it is also an evocative place, where architecture, history, tales and myths all merge into a unique atmosphere.

4th day: The Ancient Appian Way, Aqueducts and Caffarella Parks


...Pedaling on a 2,300-year-old cobblestone Roman road, while going past an ancient sepulchre, a Roman statue, the ruins of a circus and an imperial palace; leaving the "regina viarum" heading towards the ancient Roman aqueducts that rise over the fields into the horizon and following them on their way to Rome; going through the Caffarella Park, a preserved strip of land of the Roman countryside that so impressed the 19th century travelers such as Byron, Goethe and Stendhal. An extraordinary tour of absolute beauty.
