“This route will be just as busy as the Camino one day, enjoy it while it is still empty .”
Unknown Walker
The Via Francigena is a unique walking path that runs all the way from Canterbury in the United Kingdom, through France and Switzerland and the length of Italy, before reaching Rome.
We’ve walked the section of the Via Francigena from Lucca to Rome – one of the most popular sections. It’s easy to see why, with rolling vineyards in Tuscany, splendid food and incredible scenery.
Below, you can find guides to walking the 400kms from Lucca to Rome on the Via Francigena.
You can also find guides to the Magna Via Francigena, a 186km route from the North of Sicily to the South. A recent adventure for us and one that we will remember forever.
