What To Expect

Experience a unique hike on the legendary Appian Way, known as "The Queen of Roads." This 5-hour journey, led by an expert guide, offers a blend of history and nature as you trek the same path once traveled by ancient Romans. Starting from S. Maria delle Mole, easily accessible from Termini Station, you'll hike approximately 17 kilometers to Circus Maximus, passing through stunning Roman countryside, ancient villas, and historical landmarks.

Meeting Point

There is a very small train station with just one platform, called S. Maria Delle Mole. We meet directly on this platform, which is right next to the main road. The exact meeting location is right under the blue sign facing the street, with white letters, saying "S. Maria delle Mole".
From the pickup point, we will walk to the regional train that will bring us to the trail head at S. Maria delle Mole (about 20 minutes by train). Typically the train departs at 7am, so please be at the pickup point no later than 6.30am. You should already have purchased a train ticket at this stage. We will always get in touch no later than 24 hours before the hike, so make sure that your contact details are correct.
