The Via Francigena through Lazio, in the stretch that begins at the border with Tuscany (near Centeno/Proceno) and ends in Rome – St Peter's Square, is one of Italy's most evocative pilgrimage routes. This historic, thousand-year-old path follows in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims travelling to the Eternal City, crossing gentle hills, medieval villages, woodland and archaeological sites between the Tuscia region and the Roman countryside.

The route offers a unique blend of nature, history and spirituality: it passes through rural landscapes with views over Lake Bolsena and vineyards, runs through ancient centres such as Vetralla, Sutri and Campagnano di Roma, and continues into the Veio Regional Park and the Monte Mario Nature Reserve, from where there are breathtaking views over the capital.

You will walk along unpaved roads, country tracks and stretches of the ancient Via Cassia, immersing yourself in local culture and traditions, with the opportunity to sample regional specialities, collect stamps in your Pilgrim Passport along the way, and receive the Testimonium upon arrival in Rome.
