Start in the hip and trendy neighborhood Pigneto and follow an ancient aqueduct, which will lead us to the so-called “Parco degli Acquedotti” – an epic, ancient Roman park where you’ll experience a surreal mix of nature and several ancient aqueducts, and on days with good weather, a beautiful mountain backdrop.

Where: This experience is one-way and will begin at the Subway Station Pigneto (C-Line) and finish close to the Subway station “Giulio Agricola” (A-Line).
When: Weekly Monday to Thursday
Time: about 3 hours (the exact time varies, depending on the weather conditions and participants)
Cost: Full price: 25€ – 30% discount for Expat members (read below) – train ticket not included

With knowledgeable guides to share insights about this Regional Park, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty and significance of the Aqueducts, and how nature helped shape them.
