Sobre este Tip
On Saturdays and Sundays the Appia Antica low-traffic zone runs from 7 to 19, all year except August, and bicycles are allowed in. Rent a bike at one of the shops near the road and ride the regional park past original cobblestones, tombs and aqueduct arches. Aim for a weekend morning for fewer cars, and add a detour into the green Caffarella valley, which belongs to the same park.
