Via Appia Rome Bike Tour

Want to see the city off the beaten path? During this tour you will explore the most beautiful spots outside the city center, taking in all of the old ruins and Catacombs in the countryside that surrounds the Italian capital.

About the tour

Ride over cobblestones that are more than 2000 years old while going past an ancient sepulcher, a Roman statue, the ruins of a circus and an imperial palace, the Christian catacombs and pagan mausoleums. Of course, you will also see important highlights like the Colosseum and Circus Maximus, but the main emphasis of this tour lies on discovering the ruins in the countryside outside of the historic center. One significant highlight is the opportunity to see the Ancient Roman aqueducts and the Catacombs! Enjoy a ride through the Roman countryside that so well impressed 19th century travelers such as Byron, Goethe and Stendhal.
