Venice lands Self-guided Cycling Tour Villas and Prosecco

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. 

Highlights:

  • Two overnights in the Euganean Hills, Europe’s largest spa area
  • The city of the famous Renaissance architect Palladio: Vicenza
  • A taste of grappa, a popular distilled spirit produced from grape pomace in Bassano
