Cycling day trip from Udine to Grado

Kick off your cycling adventure in the vibrant city of Udine, known for its beautiful Venetian architecture and bustling city squares. From here, you'll embark on a delightful ride towards the serene coastal town of Grado.

This journey is fairly comfortable for riders as it meanders over smooth asphalt (a solid 83% of the route!) and mostly sticks to safe cycleways and quiet roads. The vibrant scenery along the way, interspersed with a touch of gravel for just a hint of adventure, offers the best of Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s picturesque landscapes.

You'll barely notice the few inclines, thanks to a gentle ascent of roughly 28 meters, before you begin a smooth descent towards your destination. Along the way, might as well stop for a quick breather amongst the local vineyards or simply enjoy the distant views of the Alps.

Grado welcomes you with its charming cobblestone streets and sunlit beaches where you definitely deserve to relax. Known as the "Island of the Sun," Grado's sandy shores are perfect for unwinding. Whether it’s a refreshing swim or just taking in the laid-back atmosphere, this journey promises a fantastic mix of culture and nature. Safe travels and enjoy the ride!
