About the Via Romea Francigena Thru Hike

The Via Romea Francigena is a popular pilgrimage in Europe that stretches from Canterbury, United Kingdom to Rome, Italy. It's one of the oldest pilgrimages in the world - first being mentioned in the year 876, so it's over a thousand years old. It was used in the beginning as a pilgrimage route to see the "holy see" in Rome, and also as a trade route that connected England and France to Rome. Although nowadays, the Camino de Santiago and Kumano Kodo pilgrimages are more popular, the Via Romea Francigena is still completed by hundreds of people every year. It takes you through the rural parts of France and Italy, but it also navigates through some beautiful mountain sceneries in the Alps and also a bit of the Apennines. It usually takes about two months for people to finish because even though it does traverse through mountains, most of the trail goes through easy country roads.

Frequently Asked Questions

How good is the print quality?

All of our posters are printed on high-quality matte paper, with no reflection/glare and a paper weight of 189 g/m² or higher. This thickness is usually used in premium quality posters because they're more resistant to bending, scratching, and folding.

They're printed on high-definition printers that achieve very rich and vivid colors. We use 100% accurate colors when designing our prints, which means that they'll look very close to what you see on your screen.

Where are your prints manufactured?

We work with many premium print studios all across the world, with manufacturing locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Latvia, Japan, and Australia.

Your print will always be printed and shipped from the nearest location, which means that you won't have to pay any import fees if you live in one of these regions. This also means that they will be delivered more quickly.

How long will it take to deliver it?

Our prints are made-to-order, which means that we don't hold any stock, and that they'll be printed only after you place an order.

If you live in Europe or North America, usually our prints are manufactured and delivered in 5-7 business days.

Our guaranteed delivery times are as follows:

United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and European Union (including EEZ): 12 business days after placing the order.

Everywhere else: 20 business days after placing the order.

Do you ship worldwide, and what are the shipping costs?

Yes, we ship worldwide to almost any country, except for a few sanctioned locations like Russia, Cuba, or North Korea.

Our shipping costs are as follows:

  • United States: 3.50 EUR
  • Canada and European Union: 5 EUR
  • Everywhere else: 10 EUR

If you purchase 2 or more prints, you'll get free shipping!

Can I customize my print?

You can customize any of our hiking prints for a small extra fee. Simply select the "Add customizations" option, and explain your customizations in the text field that shows up.

We can customize any of the statistics and change their titles, change the title or the subtitle, add and remove points of interest on the map, add a quote, display units only in metric or imperial measurements, and do other minor customizations.

If you want to order a print of a completely custom route, purchase our custom hiking trail listing.

Are your posters shipped framed?

Our posters are shipped unframed, rolled up in a cardboard box. You will need to purchase the same separately.

We strongly recommend choosing sizes in imperial measurements (inches) if you're from North America, and metric measurements (cm) if you're from Europe. That's because it's often very hard to find metric-sized frames in North America and vice versa.

To frame the poster, we recommend unrolling it and keeping it flat (with the help of some books or something heavy) for 12 hours. This will make it easier to frame. You may need to cut off a few millimeters using scissors to make the poster fit the frame, because most frames have a rather large margin of error. We recommend cutting from all sides equally to keep the print centered.

Do you accept returns?

We accept returns within 30 days after delivering the order, regardless of the reason.

You'll need to cover the return shipping costs, and after we receive it, we will refund you the full amount.

If, however, your poster arrives damaged, we will replace it free of charge under our warranty.

We don't accept returns for personalized prints.
