Via Francigena Camino Italy: Last 100km to Rome - 8 Days
Overview
Walk the final stage of one of the world's great pilgrimages on this journey into the Eternal City, following the last 100 kilometres of the Via Francigena from the medieval lakeside town of Montefiascone to Rome. First documented by Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury in 994 AD, this ancient route has carried sovereigns, emperors, clergy and commoners to the gates of Rome for over a millennium. The walk follows ancient Roman roads through the Etrurian landscape, past the volcanic shores of Lake Bolsena, through the medieval streets of Viterbo and on through forests, parishes and hilltop towns before Rome finally appears on the horizon. Few walks in the world end with a finale quite like this one.
Note: The daily distances on this itinerary add up to closer to 130km in total — this walk is simply known by its popular name, the Last 100km to Rome. Shorter options are available on most days.
