The Monte Ciocci–San Pietro cycleway is a cycle track opened in April 2025 in Rome, Italy, to connect to Roma San Pietro railway station. The route combines old railway infrastructure and crosses the Vatican railway with a new level crossing.
With its connections to other routes, it now forms a branch of the Via Francigena walking/cycling route from Canterbury to Rome. Upon opening, Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri compared the route to the High Line in New York.
