This bike tour offers the unique opportunity to discover northern Italy by bike along the Po River. After a day fully at your disposal to capture the magic of Venice, you will start cycling in the Venetian lagoon, with Chioggia and its fish market. Then the route winds along the natural course of the river and dips into largely unspoiled rural areas, such as the Natural Reserve of the Po Delta with its extensive flora and fauna. During the tour you will also get to know imposing cities, such as Ferrara, the "city of cyclists", or the ancient port city of Adria, which gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. At the end of the tour you will reach the beautiful Renaissance city of Mantua, where thanks to the Gonzaga family numerous artists left their works of art.
Our Tip: Book early, those bike & boat trips fill up fast! The program of this trip is also possible in the opposite direction.
