- By bike across Venice’s ‘islands’: The lagoon city is so much more than ‘just’ St. Mark’s Square. You can get to know and love the magical charm of the numerous islands while cycling across the Lido and the fishing island of Pellestrina.
- Flamingos in the Po Delta: Thousands of animal species cavort in the equilibrium between water and land. The unique flora and fauna in the Po Delta not only amazes nature fans. As a special highlight, over 400 flamingos await visitors to the park in the Comacchio saltworks.
- Some of the world-famous mosaics in Ravena date from the 5th century and are still as colourful today as ever. The reason for this is the materials used (including gold and precious stones). A total of eight buildings with Bysantine and late antique mosaics make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Revenna.

- Cycle around the Leaning Tower of Pisa: At the start of your tour you should take a lap of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, after all, it is one of the most famous landmarks in Italy. Did you know? It is a ‘campanile’ a free-standing bell tower that was supposed to complement a cathedral.
- Magnificent views over the Etruscan coast: Pine forests, seemingly endless beaches and steep coasts – days 4 and 5 of the tour along the Tuscan coast are all about the 90km-long ‘Etruscan Riviera’. Incidentally, some of the small bays in the port city of Piombino can only be reached by sea.
- The medieval wine village of Bolgheri is not only one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany, but also known world wine for its excellent wines (e.g. Sassicaia). Tip: The longest cypress-lined avenue in Italy at the gates of Bolgheri is also worth a snapshot.

- Leonardo da Vinci: With every pedal, you come closer to the home of Leonardo da Vinci. Once in Vinci, a visit to the museum in the castle is recommended. What to expect? Original collections and models by the artist.
- ‘Piazza dei Miracoli’: A special highlight of this cycle tour is the stopover in Pisa. Who hasn’t heard of the famous leaning tower? In addition to this special attraction, the city has many more beauties in store!
- Wine area of Castellina: wine-lovers take note! The penultimate stage leads through the wine village of Castellina, where the world-famous Chianti Classico is grown. This charming wine village is also known as the ‘capital of the Chianti region’ because of its famous vines and olives.

- The charm of South Tyrol: A walk through Merano or Bolzano, the fragrant vineyards and apple orchards or the picturesque valleys surrounded by castles and palaces - this region is always worth a trip. When you visit, don't miss out on the culinary delicacies such as Brettljause, Schlutzkrapfen and apple strudel.
- The enchanting Verona: The setting of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet still shapes the city today - let yourself be inspired by it and visit the world-famous Juliet's balcony. Verona is also home to numerous sights, from the impressive arena to the pretty Piazza delle Erbe.
- The lagoon city of Venice: Hardly anyone can resist the charm of Venice, the buildings, canals, bridges and squares are just too beautiful. St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge are of course a must-see. But don't miss the opportunity to wander through the small alleys, drink a spritz in an inconspicuous piazza and have an espresso in a typical café bar.

- The church tower in the Lake Resia: Around 160 houses once stood on the site, which was flooded in the 1950s to create a reservoir. Today, the church tower of St. Katharina rising out of the water is a reminder of the village.
- Strolling through Laubengasse in Bolzano: Soak up the hustle and bustle of Bolzano's most famous street. Why not order a cappuccino in one of the numerous cafés and really live the Italian "dolcé vita".
- Boat trip across Lake Garda: One of the absolute highlights of the tour is the Lake Garda crossing by boat. Enjoy not only the fresh breeze and the beauty of the lake, but also the architecture on the shore.

- The capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Whether it's the cathedral, the castle or the Chiesa di San Giacomo - there is a lot to see and discover in Udine. Enjoy the Mediterranean flair on Piazza Matteotti, watch the Italians doing their errands and try regional delicacies in the bars and cafés.
- The wines from the Collio: The north of Italy is known in many places for its wine production and the fine wines that result from it. At the Slovenian border you reach the Collio region, which stands out for its special climatic conditions and fertile soil. Try a glass or two as you pass the winegrowers on your route.
- Roman excavations in Aquileia: Not only fans of history and archaeology get their money's worth in Aquileia, not far from Grado. In ancient Roman times, the city was an important trading center - today the relics from past times can be viewed in the basilica, the National Archaeological Museum or the Roman Forum.

1 Review by TourRadar travelers“Luggage delivery was great, but the ride was too long in the same countryside which became monotonous.”
Joanna, traveled in July 2024
- Boat trip on Lake Garda: Enjoy the rolling waves and the pleasant sea breeze on board. From Riva you can kick pack and relax. You sail across Lake Garda to Desenzano or Sirmione, from where the next leg of the tour will take you to Verona.
- Casa di Giulietta: So much is clear: Romeo and Juliet are probably the best-known lovers in literature. In Verona you can experience the charming old town with its winding streets and be inspired by Shakespeare’s play directly at the ‘Casa di Giulietta’.
- Venice: If you had to describe the lagoon city in three words, they would be: beauty, charm, history. What awaits you in the floating city? St Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, the Doge’s Palace and much more!
