Route

Tour profile: Level 1-2

Easy self-guided or guided hotel tour with between 22 to 38 miles (35 - 60 km) of cycling per day over 6 days. Landscape is flat with just one steep climb of 1km in Asolo that is easily walked. Tour runs along good asphalt roads and bike paths with little traffic. Trains with bicycle transportation connect the main cities of the tour so in case of bad weather, or if you need a day of rest, you can reach your destination by train.

From here you will cycle along the Piovego Canal, which will lead you to the city centre of Padua, home to one of the oldest Italian (and European) universities and rich in art and history.

Along the Vigenzone Canal, the route leads to the Aviation Museum in San Pelagio and Catajo Castle - both well worth a visit!

Day 4: Padua thermal district – Vicenza, approx. 50 km

From the Euganean Hills you cycle along the river Bacchiglione, which will lead you back to Vicenza.
