Quick ride by bicycle from Verona to Poiano

Get ready for a relaxed ride from vibrant Verona to the peaceful village of Poiano! This route is just over 10 km, so it’s perfect for a laid-back morning spin or a scenic commute.

You’ll glide mostly along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, making this ride both safe and enjoyable. There’s a gentle uphill stretch as you leave the city and head northeast, but the ascent is mild (just over 30 meters), so you can focus on enjoying the surroundings rather than huffing and puffing!

You’ll roll past some suburban greenery and even hit a patch of smooth gravel (nothing too wild) before coasting into Poiano.

In short, this ride offers a sweet mix of history, scenery, and a hint of countryside without straying far from Verona.
