Cycling day trip from Peschiera del Garda to Verona

Set off from the charming lakeside town of Peschiera del Garda, famed for its UNESCO-listed fortress and relaxed holiday vibe. Your ride to Verona covers a gentle 33 km stretch, mostly on smooth, paved surfaces — perfect for a leisurely pedal. The route is wonderfully varied: about half is on peaceful roads, with a generous portion on dedicated cycleways, and only the briefest interludes on gravel or unpaved sections.

You'll wind through vineyards, fields, and sleepy villages, soaking up classic northern Italian scenery. There are a few small hills (with a total ascent just over 200 meters), but nothing too taxing, so it’s suitable for most riders.

Rolling into Verona, you’re greeted by Roman history galore — including the spectacular Arena and Juliet’s (supposed) balcony. Grab a gelato to celebrate a ride well done, and enjoy the city that inspired Shakespeare. Whether you’re sightseeing or just savoring the ride, this route is a top pick for cycling between two of Veneto’s highlights!
