FREE URBAN HIKE – Rome’s Secret Giants: Urban hike to the Aqueducts’ Park
Is this event for you?
Discover a new side of Rome with our FREE OPEN DAY urban hike! Perfect for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking to connect with new people, this unique experience will take you on a journey through some of Rome’s most beautiful and lesser-known areas.
Explore the fascinating “modern Aqueducts” (dating back to 1585), wander through the historic Mandrione neighborhood, and uncover the hidden ties between Roman life, nature, and the nearby volcano that shaped the landscape.
In the first half of our hike, we’ll dive into some of Rome’s most intriguing and off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods. Then, in the second half, we’ll immerse ourselves in two stunning nature parks, offering the perfect blend of urban exploration and natural beauty.
