It was not until 1871 that Rome became the capital of the recently unified Italian state. Italy remains to this day a country of vast regional differences, from the Alps in the north to Sicily in the south. This diversity provides a superb setting for our extensive range of cycling holidays in Italy.
Cultural richness is an obvious constant throughout Italy, and one of the joys of a holiday visit. Architectural and art treasures are everywhere. Venice and Florence, which feature in two of our cycling holidays, are stunningly beautiful cities which live up to their well-earned reputations. However, lesser known gems such as Vicenza and Lucca will also vie for your attention and repay exploration.
Our cycling holidays allow you to see the beauty of Italy’s fine cities and also its scenic countryside. A bike is the best way of appreciating the backroads of Tuscany and Umbria. Cycling is a great way of travelling down from the Dolomites to Lake Garda, or following the Adriatic coast round into Croatia. If you fancy something a bit different, try the preserved, natural beauty of south west Sardinia, or choose one of our popular ‘Boat & Bike’ holidays, sailing and cycling between Venice and Mantova. Whatever your choice, you can be sure of a warm welcome, quality accommodation, and a taste of la dolce vita in a country which is as cycling-mad as its next-door neighbour France. |
