This 11.6-mile (18.7 km) route offers a unique blend of historic architecture and city life, guiding you along well-preserved sections of the walls. You will encounter varied terrain, from paved streets to designated paths, as you gain 431 feet (131 metres) in elevation.

The entire loop typically takes around 4 hours and 52 minutes to complete.
Planning your hike along the Aurelian Walls is straightforward, as the route is generally accessible throughout the year. While no specific permits or fees are required for the walls themselves, be prepared for a long day of walking due to the significant distance involved. You can easily break the route into shorter sections if you prefer a less demanding experience, allowing you to tailor the adventure to your energy levels. Consider starting early to make the most of your day and avoid peak crowds, especially during warmer months.
This trail provides a compelling journey through Rome's past, allowing you to walk alongside a monumental defensive structure that once protected the city. The Aurelian Walls, built between 271 AD and 275 AD, offer a tangible connection to the Roman Empire's enduring legacy. As you traverse the route, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the scale and engineering prowess of ancient Rome, making it a notable experience for history enthusiasts and urban explorers alike.
