Overview
Experience a unique hike on the legendary Appian Way, known as "The Queen of Roads." This 5-hour journey, led by an expert guide, offers a blend of history and nature as you trek the same path once traveled by ancient Romans. Starting from S. Maria delle Mole, easily accessible from Termini Station, you'll hike approximately 17 kilometers to Circus Maximus, passing through stunning Roman countryside, ancient villas, and historical landmarks.
