En bici de Vitinia a Selcetta

This ride takes you from Vitinia, a peaceful residential hub just outside Rome, all the way to Selcetta, skirting the edge of the city’s southern green belt. You’ll cover just over 9 km, mainly cruising along quiet roads and handy cycle paths, with only a brief encounter with busy traffic. Expect a few gentle climbs (over 100m ascent in total) that’ll get your legs warm.

The route is a bit of a patchwork—paved and asphalt sections are comfy, but keep your eyes peeled for unpaved patches and even some gravel. Perfect for a hybrid or gravel bike, and a nice way to escape beyond the Rome suburbs. Vitinia is a gateway for commuters on the Rome-Lido railway, while Selcetta is known for its peaceful vibe and proximity to the sprawling Parco Regionale di Decima-Malafede—a great spot if you want to extend the ride and immerse yourself in nature.

Overall, it’s an easygoing ride with scenery switching from city edges to green stretches, so set out for a relaxed spin and enjoy discovering Rome’s lesser-known outskirts.
