This tranquil riverside route takes you alongside the Tiber River, offering a picturesque view of Rome. Pass under ancient bridges, alongside graffiti-covered walls and riverside cafes, perfect for a peaceful and scenic ride.
2. Via dei Fori Imperiali
This legendary route connects the Colosseum to Piazza Venezia and runs through the heart of ancient Rome. Ride past Roman Forum ruins, majestic columns, and timeless cobblestones — it’s a history lesson on wheels.
