Active & outdoors in Rome

Rome offers surprisingly varied outdoor activities beyond its historic sights. The Cremera river and the surrounding countryside provide pleasant walking routes, while hills such as Colle Lepre, Monte Croce, Monte Lupone and Monte Puzzo make for accessible hiking destinations on the city's fringes. Climbers head to the crags at Rupe del Lotto 6, Rupe del Parco Brin and Rupe sinistra delle Rocce di San Paolo for routes of varying difficulty. For a more structured sports experience, the Stadio "Nando Martellini" near the Terme di Caracalla offers a striking setting for running and recreational athletics among ancient ruins.

    naturehistory

    The Cremera is a stream roughly 37 kilometres long in the Italian region of Lazio, flowing past Sacrofano, Formello and Campagnano di Roma before joining the Tiber north of Rome. It carries historical weight: in 477 BC, the Roman Fabii clan suffered a catastrophic defeat by the Etruscans on its banks. Near its confluence with the Tiber stands a fragment of an ancient Roman bridge, close to where the Via Flaminia meets Rome's ring road.
