1.Appia Antica: Full Day Bike Rental with Customizable Routes

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 419 reviews · 1 day · from $22Our pick

Rent a mountain bike or e-bike for a self-guided day on the Appian Way, starting at Via Appia Antica 60. Follow the ancient road past catacombs, tombs and villas, with time for a detour to the aqueducts. Helmets and locks are included. The original paving is scenic but bumpy, so choose your bike with care.

“If you want to experience some ancient history without mass tourism, this is a great activity. About 20 km (two-way) bike over ancient stone and passing historical places. The road is bumpy (also the paths next to the road but very doable. We passed maybe two or three other bikers. There are not much food & Drink options so bring enough water. at around 4 km there are a few paces where you can eat or drink. We can recommend Giardino di Giulia e fratelli, the most friendly people and nice food!”
