Water Activities in Rome 🏖️

Welcome to Rome! While Rome is primarily known for its historical landmarks, there are still some exciting water activities you can enjoy during your visit. Here’s a brief guide to help you explore the aquatic side of Rome.

Tiber Island (Isola Tiberina) 🏝️🚤

Located in the heart of Rome, the Tiber Island is a small oasis surrounded by the Tiber River. You can rent kayaks or paddleboards and explore the island and its surroundings. Keep an eye out for the historic hospitals and churches that line the island.

Roma Lazio Rafting (Magliano Sabina) 🚣‍♂️

For a more adventurous water experience, head to Magliano Sabina (approximately 50km north of Rome). Roma Lazio Rafting offers guided rafting tours on the Aniene River. The tours cater to all skill levels and are a great way to enjoy the beautiful Italian countryside.

Lake Bracciano 🛶🐬

A popular destination among Romans, Lake Bracciano (approximately 50km north of Rome) is perfect for boat tours, sailing, or even scuba diving. The lake is home to various aquatic wildlife, including dolphins! Remember to respect the local marine life and their habitats.

Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary 🐾🚤

Although not strictly a water activity, the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary is worth mentioning. Located next to the Tiber River, this sanctuary provides care for over 150 stray cats. You can take a guided tour and learn about Rome’s feline inhabitants while supporting their welfare.

No Water 🚫

Unfortunately, there are no notable water activities near the Colosseum or the Vatican City as they are both located in the city center and do not have direct access to large bodies of water. However, you can always visit the stunning fountains found throughout Rome, such as Trevi Fountain, for a refreshing view of water!
