Hike Day 14: Isola Farnese – Roma

Today we arrived to Vatican City. We started in Riserva Naturale di Monte Mario, which gave us an amazing view of where we are headed. A short walk of 3.5mi gets us to Piazza Pio XII.

From the guides: We leave nature behind and head forward to our final destination, crossing the vast city of Rome along the Via Trionfale (Road of Triumph). From the viewpoint on the hill of Monte Mario we admire the magnificence of the capital and spot the great Cupola (dome) of San Pietro. The goal is near, so let’s walk to the final celebration of our adventure!

Arriving in Vatican City. Lots of people everywhere

Lunch was at a cafeteria that Virginio knows.
