EP-208 WALKING THROUGH HISTORY: What It’s Like to Hike the Via Francigena

In this episode of The 10Adventures Podcast, we dive into one of Europe’s most fascinating long-distance walks—the Via Francigena. Mico takes the hosting seat once again as we chat with Richard about his recent journey along this historic pilgrimage route. Starting in Canterbury and stretching all the way to Rome, the Via Francigena offers a mix of stunning landscapes, rich history, and, of course, incredible food.

 

Richard shares what makes this trek unique compared to other famous hikes in Europe, from its rolling hills and charming villages to the challenge of balancing daily mileage with cultural immersion. We also discuss the flexibility of the route, the variety of accommodations, and the joy of arriving in Rome on foot after weeks of walking.
