Hello Welsh rugby fans, here is a list of activities that you can do in the stadium’s surroundings before and after the Italy-Wales game this Saturday. I guess most of you will reach Flaminio from the Underground stop. The area between the stop and the stadium is partly residential and partly occupied by offices, therefore it is particularly quiet on Saturday afternoon. Liven it up!
