Apennine way
Description
If all roads lead to Rome then this is the M1, about the most important road built when the Romans were extending their empire beyond the city limits. The road, totally straight and still paved with the original rocks and lined by the tombs of ancient Romans brings history straight to the soles of your feet. You can walk for miles down the length, with long stretched being virtually traffic free

Getting There
From the centre of Rome you can walk past the Baths of Caracalla to the Porta St Sebastiano where the way officially starts, though the first couple of KM are still a busy road, with no walkways, so it may be worth catching the 118 or 218 bus out to the Catacombs of St Sebastiano from where the prettiest and quieter parts of the way are, alternatively let someone else do the work and catch the Archeobus down the Apennine way (charge) ***2017 - Archeobus no longer running, some of the sightseeing bus companies offer tours to the Catacombs from where you could start a walk (charge)***
