Appian Way guided bike tour

Rome

On Sunday the Appia empties of cars almost completely, and a guided ride down it goes past the Baths of Caracalla and out through Porta San Sebastiano into open country.

How the day goes

  1. Meet the guide in town and roll out towards the Baths of Caracalla.
  2. Through Porta San Sebastiano, where the city wall ends and the road begins.
  3. Out over the basalt between tombs and pines, the traffic left behind.

Where it is
