Via Appia Antica

Via Appia Antica

The monument

The Via Appia Antica, the “queen of roads,” is the ancient Roman consular road dotted with tombs and monuments, today a regional park immersed in greenery and silence.

Accessibility and concessions

  • Free access at the park; some sites along the route (catacombs, villas) require a fee.
  • Some features retain the original Roman paving, very bumpy and difficult for a wheelchair; other sections are easier.
  • La Sunday several sections are closed to traffic: safer and more pleasant to travel.
  • The visitor center and some areas have variable accessibility: it is best to check with the individual sites beforehand.

What aid do we recommend for this visit?

The Roman pavement is very uneven: a large-wheeled scooter or a sturdy wheelchair with an attendant is essential. Lightweight wheelchairs are not recommended.
