Return
Cycle from the mountain city of Bolzano in the Dolomites to Venice's famous canals and bridges via the glistening shores of Lake Garda. With the chance to see five UNESCO World Heritage Sites along the way, begin by touring through Veneto’s green landscapes, you’ll bike along riverside paths, picturesque tracks and quiet country roads with a backdrop of mountain peaks. As you pedal beside the banks of the Adige River, you’ll pass green vineyards and typical Tyrolean villages.
Cooling off in Lake Garda’s clear waters makes a welcome halfway treat and taking a break in Verona to see the pink-hued streets and Roman Arena is well worth it. Away from the crowds visit Vicenza, renowned for its classical Palladio architecture, and Padova, home to one of the oldest Italian and European universities, before of course, the World Heritage city of Venice on the Adriatic coast.
