Visit the beautiful Appia Antica Regional Park by bike. As you pedal through centuries of history, the legends and figures of the past will unfold before your eyes: spot mausoleums, mounds, tombs and remnants of Ancient Rome. Cycling along the Appian Way is a beautiful adventure that will take your mind on a journey through time, dreaming of emperors, centurions, and patricians of times gone by.
Bike rentals are available for children and adults, and are a great way to explore the area at your own pace. Follow a series of recommended itineraries, or create your own! Having a bike gives you more freedom to go where you want, with less stress.
Please notice that the entire Appian Way is a cobblestones path, a little confidence in riding the bikes is required.
You can easily reach us to get the Metro A up to Arco di Travertino stop and then take the 660 bus to the Bike Rental Point
