Escape to the Riserva Naturale della Marcigliana, a working stretch of rural Lazio inside Rome's city limits. Wander past farmland, woodland, and a horse farm on rugged trails, spotting protected wildlife along the way.
Reasons to go
Full description
La Marcigliana preserves working countryside on Rome's northern fringe, including small agritourism operations and a horse farm alongside its protected plant and animal species. It functions less like a landscaped park and more like a slice of rural Lazio that happens to sit within city limits, appealing to visitors seeking a genuinely rustic outdoor experience.
Some marked trails are reported as overgrown or poorly maintained, so it rewards those comfortable with a more rugged, unpolished visit.

Do not take, I repeat, do not take the “Sentiero Natura” path. Overgrown plants, unmarked and dirty. What a waste of time
