To enjoy the beauty of Rome and its surroundings in a gentle and sustainable way, nothing can beat a bike ride
The capital offers an extensive network of cycle paths - over 390 km - about half of which cross parks and green areas and run along the course of the Tiber and Aniene rivers. For those who do not have their own bicycle, it is possible to rent one at one of the many city Bike Rent points (www.060608.it), choosing between city bikes, mountain bikes and electric bikes with pedal assistance. Bicycles can also be loaded on board the city's public transport, metro buses and trains; for all the information on inter-modality in the capital, visit this page. Below are some of the main cycle routes of Tiberland.
Tiberina cycle path: from Castel Giubileo to the sea
Length: 55 km - Suitable for all types of bikes
The itinerary allows you to cross the city from north to south, it can also be traveled in the opposite direction and can be divided into three stages. The first section starts from the Castel Giubileo dam to cross the residential area of Tor di Quinto and continue along the river bank crossing the historic center up to the Tiber Island.
For the second part we continue along the Tiber up to the Magliana river park where the itinerary leaves the right bank of the river to move to the opposite bank, entering an increasingly natural environment and reaching Ponte Galeria. From here, for the third and final stage, we proceed parallel to the via Portuense, skirting the archaeological area of the Imperial Ports of Claudius and Trajan, to conclude with the arrival at the sea at the port of Fiumicino.
