All roads lead to Rome, and this is true of EuroVelo 5. Towns and villages will welcome traveling cyclists in this stage, offering a wide range of historical perspectives, mixing ancient, roman, medieval and modern history and culture. The Latium countryside will be a pleasant surprise, with its extended network of secondary roads, carved into the ground since Etruscan times, all surrounded by olive trees, vegetable gardens and vineyards. The entrance to Rome, through the city’s longest cycle path, is a sight that has been marvelled at for millennia, and will let the cyclist emerge just next to Saint Peter’s Basilica, centre of the Catholic world.

Development status
  • Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.
