Rome’s tourism board is working on an ambitious project that aims to restore boating to the Tiber River, in a project that should see genuine attempts to return to tourism on the river.
The boating and tourism project should see small beaches and pools constructed along the river, although it won’t be the traditional “bagno nel Tevere” or bathing in the Tiber, from times gone past; that will probably be reserved for the more courageous.
Other aspects to the Rome tourism project include a cycling path around Ponte Milvio, and “terraces” on the Tiber, corresponding to the pedestrian areas that already exist around the Tiber Isle, Castel Sant’Angelo and Ponte Milvio.
Lifts for wheelchair access are also being considered.
