Perfectly located for combining cycling, the beach, history, and gastronomy, the coastal region of Emilia-Romagna is a magnificent cycling destination. It offers cycling routes of various difficulty levels and scenery, including coastal landscapes, vineyards, olive groves, castles, fortified towns, and winding mountain passes.
In addition, this region is accustomed to cyclists. The Giro d’Italia passes through regularly. Amateur cyclists also find their happiness here, regardless of their ambitions. In the southern Emilia-Romagna, there are many “bike hotels,” an ideal formula for cycling camps: everything is designed with cycling and vacations in mind.
Many of these “bike hotels” are conveniently located, very close to the beach. So you are perfectly accommodated, fed, and taken care of by hosts who know and understand cyclists. And after your bike rides, you can sunbathe, swim in the Adriatic Sea, and rest to be ready for the next outing on the road.
If you want to take a break from pedaling, you can also take the train to visit Bologna and its historic and university neighborhoods. Emilia-Romagna is also rich in vineyards, and it is pleasant to visit them. In this region, as in the rest of Italy, meals are events. The food is really good, and the local specialties are a pure delight!
