The Veio Regional Park provides expats with a perfect mix of nature and history. The beautiful autumn landscape and ancient ruins make it an ideal hiking destination in November.

The only caveat with this park is that some sections have been closed since 2022, to create a buffer zone and prevent the spread of African Swine Fever, which affected parts of Northern Italy. Although the park has resumed hosting events, it’s always wise to check the official website https://parcodiveio.it/ to ensure the trail you plan to visit is open to the public.
