Gita in bici di un giorno da Ciampino a Roma

Looking for an easy ride from the outskirts into the heart of Rome? This route starts off in Ciampino, best known for its airport and low-key vibe. You’ll pedal north for about 22.5 km, gliding mostly downhill—it’s a gentle drop of around 160 meters, so you’ll have gravity on your side.

The ride is a mix of surfaces, with plenty of asphalt and paved roads, some easy ground sections, and a handful of unpaved stretches that keep things interesting. Most of your journey follows quiet roads, so you can soak in the scenery as you get closer to the Eternal City. Expect some stretches of urban bustle as you approach Rome, especially in the final kilometers.

Rome needs no introduction—home to centuries of history, epic architecture, and perfect post-ride gelato. Arriving by bike gives you a unique view as you transition from the rural edges into the buzz of the capital. Don’t forget your camera for those first views of the city skyline!
