A soccer walking tour


A walking soccer tour of Rome will include stops at the AS Roma club in Testaccio, the Campo de’ Fiori, and the official AS Roma team store.
Starting off at the Piramide metro stop, you would walk north on Via Marmorata. After walking 10 blocks you would make a left on Giovanni Branca. Walk straight ahead and on your right will be the AS Roma club Testaccio. After a stop in the Roma club, you would walk back on to Via Marmorata and continue walking north and eventually walk across the Ponte Sublico. Once on the other side of the Tiber River, you will walk north along the river on Porto di Ripa Grande. You eventually cross the river again on Ponte Garibaldi and continue straight on Via Arenula. After walking four blocks you will see the AS Roma store on your left. To continue on the walk you will get back on Via Arenula and make the first left on to Via del Giubbonari. Walk straight for about 5 blocks and you are at the Campo de’ Fiori. This would end the walking portion of the tour. If you are interested in seeing the Stadio Olimpico which is not within reasonable walking distance, your best bet would be to take the Metro Line A from the Termini Station to the end of the line. Once you are off of the metro, take bus line 32 to the stadium.
