Cycling day trip from Rome to Vitinia

This cycling route takes you from the heart of Rome all the way down to Vitinia, covering just over 28 kilometers—perfect for a solid half-day ride! You’ll start amid Rome’s legendary streets, so consider a quick spin past some classic sights if you’re coming from the center. As you make your way south, the route stays urban but gets noticeably quieter, with nearly half the way following cycle paths and another 40% on low-traffic roads.

Elevation changes are pretty gentle; you’ll climb just over 200 meters and descend a bit more, which means the ride is friendly even if you’re not chasing a big workout.

The ride finishes in Vitinia, a southern suburb with a laid-back vibe and easy access to nature, marking a peaceful transition away from the bustle of central Rome. Don’t forget to pack some water and enjoy the shift from city hustle to suburban calm!
