Italy's Venice lands 8-day Self-guided Cycling Tour Level 1
A circular route that winds between elegant art cities and industrious countryside, to discover by bike the two souls of Veneto: active and modern on the one hand, slower-moving and more traditional on the other. An ideal cycling trip amidst the beauty of this region, to appreciate its art and history, ride among lush vineyards and, last but not least, enjoy its culinary specialties. Along the way you have the opportunity to admire real architectural gems, such as the ancient and elegant villas that stand out along the Brenta River, between Venice and Padua, but also towns and villages with an ancient flavor. Some examples? Vicenza, Treviso and Asolo, which is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
An easy week of leisurely cycling suitable for everyone. The route is mostly flat, except for reaching Arquà Petrarca, a one-kilometer climb to Asolo and a few short ups and downs. You'll ride on low-traffic secondary roads and paved bike paths. Greater care should be taken when entering and leaving cities, as there may be a bit more traffic, especially near Treviso.
