Cycling day trip from Verona to Peschiera del Garda

Cycling from Verona to Peschiera del Garda

Ready for a scenic ride from one of Italy’s most romantic cities to the shores of Lake Garda? This 34 km route starts in beautiful Verona—famous as the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet—and winds mostly along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making it super pleasant whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just out for a leisurely adventure.

You’ll head west through charming countryside and pass vineyards and small villages, with gentle rolling hills and just enough elevation to keep it interesting (but nothing too tough—around 236 meters of ascent overall). The path is nearly all paved, perfect for road or touring bikes, with just a tiny bit of gravel to keep things lively.

As you approach Peschiera del Garda, the air gets fresh with the scent of water, and soon you’ll glide right into this gorgeous lakefront town. Explore its historic fortifications and canals—it’s a great spot to grab gelato by the water and take in the views of Lake Garda. This route is a perfect blend of culture, nature, and relaxation!
