Bolzano to Verona Self-guided Cycling Tour

Nature trip or cultural journey? Why choose when you can have both! Follow the Adige River as you explore South Tyrol — from the vibrant capital city Bolzano to the romantic festival city of Verona. Over seven days, you’ll encounter numerous attractions, both scenic and cultural. Pay a visit to Ötzi in Bolzano before cycling through vineyards and picturesque villages to reach Trento. From afar, you can already catch the sparkling glimpse of Lake Garda. With the gentle waves in sight, the Mediterranean vibe quickly sets in as you pedal toward Verona. A day excursion to Mantua adds the perfect finishing touch to your cycling vacation — between the Palazzo Ducale and the Basilica di Sant’Andrea, soak up the true Italian “Dolce Vita".

Highlights:

• Walther Square in Bolzano exudes the perfect mix of Mediterranean bustle and South Tyrolean cosiness 
• Magnificent views of Lake Kaltern
• Boat trip on Lake Garda
• By bike to the Arena in Verona
