November is a great time for expats to explore the historical and natural beauty of Veio Regional Park. Located just north of Rome, this park offers a fascinating blend of ancient ruins, scenic trails, and autumn colors.

Discovering Veio Regional Park
Veio Regional Park covers a vast area with diverse landscapes, including woodlands, rivers, and archaeological sites. The park is named after the ancient Etruscan city of Veii, whose ruins can be explored along the trails.

Hiking Tips for Expats

The Veio Regional Park provides expats with a perfect mix of nature and history. The beautiful autumn landscape and ancient ruins make it an ideal hiking destination in November.

The only caveat with this park is that some sections have been closed since 2022, to create a buffer zone and prevent the spread of African Swine Fever, which affected parts of Northern Italy. Although the park has resumed hosting events, it’s always wise to check the official website https://parcodiveio.it/ to ensure the trail you plan to visit is open to the public.
