Park of the Aqueducts — Attraction in Rome

Great park where you can see two different styles of Aqueduct. The more famous above ground arches of the (I think) Aqua Claudia is in a good condition considering is around 2000 years old, and the lower, mostly sunken (on purpose) and updated at some more recent point of the Aqua Felice. I think there is also a third aqueduct there but its remains are scarce.

The only issue I have with the park is it seems it is difficult to get information on the Aqueducts and to know much about them. But if you read up on the internet etc beforehand you can go armed with some knowledge!

Definitely worth a visit, very easy on Metro A out to subaugusta station and about a ten min walk from the metro through a nice suburban residential district (you can also use other stations slightly before subaugusta) and also allows you to get away from some of the more crowded tourist places.

Aqueducts, in my opinion, show how far advanced Rome was as they pushed water into the big city.....To think ancient Rome had much better engineering and water control than many...

A true gem, highly recommended, a few steps away from the city center - I have seen very few tourists around and locals doing sports. You can reach it through the red metro line, getting off at Subaugusta station (direction Anagnina, semi-last stop). We did not see any sign to reach it from the metro station exit, so you must resort to Google maps and to your own orientation abilities to reach it, but I swear it is entirely worth it - this place is magic. There are several access points to the park from via Lemonia. The park is part of the ancient via Appia - there are plenty of trails that extend along the Roman aqueducts, whose ruins are still there standing strong. it is a bucolic place where you can get some serious relaxation, with plenty of fresh air and stunning views of the aqueducts - renting a bike may be a good idea too, to explore the numerous trails - this...

We came here with the Metro orange line, getting off at Guilin Agricola according to google maps, and we left from Lucio Sestio station.

On the way in, there is a small children’s playground but it is so helpful for us with our 5 years old son. The facility is well maintained.

After the playground, we entered the fields through the small aqueduct. Then we reached a little stream. It was very beautiful with the willow trees and different plans.

Once we crossed the stream we kept right to the biggest aqueduct. We climbed up to an old fort (maybe) to have our picnic there. From there, you can see the trains running past. It was a fun place for younger children.

Locals use the well built paths to do running. Overall, if you are a bit tired of the crowds in the city, this is a great place to get some fresh air and enjoy the sun. Pack up your...
