Tiber River Cycle Path

This excellent dedicated cycling path runs directly alongside the banks of the mighty river that cuts through the historic centre. Descending the steps to the river level completely removes you from the chaotic street traffic, offering a uniquely peaceful perspective of the city. The route passes directly beneath massive stone bridges, providing dramatic upward views of ancient castles, grand basilicas, and historic river islands. It is a fantastic, uninterrupted greenway that allows cyclists to cover significant distances rapidly while enjoying cool river breezes. The industrial era embankments add a compelling, gritty contrast to the classical monuments above.
