There are two main routes along the Appian Way: the historical-archaeological route along the Via Appia Antica and a nature trail within the Caffarella Valley. The first, which includes significant events in Rome’s history, is on cobblestones and short stretches of ancient basalt. In these sections, you should either walk your bikes or take the dirt paths on either side to protect both the bike and the ancient paving. For an easy and accessible route, especially for children, we recommend the Caffarella Valley. Minors must be accompanied by an adult who will need to sign a liability form. Minors must also wear helmets while cycling. Click here to see the routes.
