Cycling holidays in and around Venice

Veneto extends from the Dolomites in the north to the Po valley in the south . In the south west, in Venice, this impressive region's coastline meets the Adriatic. The coast is a popular holiday destination. But not just the long sandy beaches around Venice are worth seeing: the mostly flat landscape is perfect for some easy-going cycling. Cycle at a leisurely pace along the Etsch or Piave rivers, through orchards and vineyards.

In addition to the popular types of local wine, you must try a Prosecco - which comes from this region. On your holiday you'll have enough time to explore the famous towns in the area surrounding Venice. Follow the traces of Romeo and Juliet in Verona, admire the pilgrimage church of St Antonius in Padua and the magnificent villas and palaces in Vicenza. On tours in and around Venice, the city of Venice - La Serenissima - should not just be a mere town on your route but an integral part and a real highlight of each cycling holiday. Let your day come to a pleasant close over a typically Italian meal with risotto or polenta.

A cycling holiday in the north of Italy is shaped by the varied landscape here. Take a week to follow the Etsch cycle path - our best-seller - from Bolzano to Venice. Town like Verona and Vicenza are on your route, as is Lake Garda, which is Italy's largest lake. The highlight of the tour is, of course, the lagoon city of Venice.

The cycling holiday from the Dolomite mountains to Venice combines two stunning landscapes. The natural paradise of South Tyrol, with its high peaks and unique panorama with the Mediterranean flair of the lagoon city of Venice. There are many highlights awaiting you on this tour. The Olympic town of Cortina d´Ampezzo, Bassano del Grappa and the fashion town of Treviso to just mention a few.

A special experience is to be had when you combine bike & boat. The friendly river cruisers, the MS Vita Pugna or the MS Ave Maria are you constant companions. On short, level cycled sections you explore the unique countryside on a bike & boat tour from Mantua to Venice.
