Trail A (San Biagio)

Urban · Easy but many stairs to climb · 0.39 km · 5min

Last updated: 5 October 2026

This trail starts at Piazza Augusto Baccelli right in front of the 3 Fontane, follows a beautiful stretch of Borgo Mario Theodoli, and climbs up many flights of steps to Piazza San Biagio. We then walk along the famous “Stretta” (Via San Biagio). At the top of the climb along the Scale della Stretta, it returns to Via delle Logge and then passes in front of the Chiesa di S.Maria, before heading back to the 3 Fontane.
