Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Rome à Lido di Ostia

Get ready for a great ride from the heart of Rome all the way to the shores of Lido di Ostia! Setting off in the shadow of Rome’s ancient wonders, you’ll pedal through quieter roads and a generous stretch of dedicated cycle paths, gradually leaving the city’s hustle behind as you head southwest.

The route is just under 49 km, mostly nice paved roads and gentle terrain—it’s not mountain climbing, but you’ll still get some up-and-down to keep things interesting. As you make your way through the Roman suburbs, soak up the shift from classic cityscape to the relaxed vibe of the coast. Keep an eye out for green spaces and even sections along the historic Via Ostiense.

Arriving at Lido di Ostia, you’ll find the wide beaches and a lively waterfront—perfect for a celebratory gelato or dip in the Mediterranean! Fun fact: Lido di Ostia has been Rome’s seaside playground since the early 20th century, and it’s still the go-to spot for Romans escaping the summer heat. Enjoy the breeze, the ride, and that well-earned seaside sunset.
