★★★★★Edited 2 months agoThe park of the Aqueducts is a really nice peaceful park with easy walking trails. Stopped by during our travels in Italy and of you are looking for a non touristy thing to and need to avoid crowds and decompress, this park is excellent. You can also rent out bikes, which I recommend.

★★★★★2 months agoThis park is very close to a couple metro stops making it very easy to visit. Very popular with locals but off the beaten track for tourists. Well worth visiting with many substantial aqueducts.
