WHY ROME…

Rome is a dream destination for HYROX-ers seeking adventure, culture, and a vibrant social scene. With its mix of ancient history, stunning architecture, buzzing nightlife, and delicious food, the Eternal City offers an unforgettable experience for those who love to explore.

Rome is a city best explored on foot. Walking through its cobblestone streets feels like stepping into a living museum. From the iconic Colosseum and Roman Forum to the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, every corner is packed with historical treasures. You will love discovering hidden piazzas, charming alleyways and breath-taking views from places like Gianicolo Hill or the Orange Garden. For those who prefer cycling, renting a bike to explore the Appian Way—a 2,300-year-old Roman road lined with ancient ruins—is an exhilarating experience.

No trip to Rome is complete without indulging in its world-famous cuisine. Whilst you’re there, grab a quick slice of pizza al taglio or enjoy a classic plate of cacio e pepe in a bustling trattoria. The city’s vibrant aperitivo culture offers an affordable way to enjoy drinks and snacks before heading to one of Rome’s buzzing nightlife districts, like Trastevere or Testaccio, where bars and clubs keep the energy high late into the night.

Beyond the major tourist sites, Rome is full of cultural experiences, from art galleries and museums to street performances and local markets. Whether it’s enjoying a rooftop sunset over St. Peter’s Basilica, joining a pasta-making class, or catching a football match at Stadio Olimpico, HYROX-ers will never run out of things to do in this dynamic, historic city.
