Quick ride by bicycle from Milan to Cesano Boscone

This cycling route takes you from the buzzing heart of Milan to the quieter, suburban feel of Cesano Boscone. Covering just under 14 km, it’s perfect for a leisurely ride that’s not too long, but still offers a good change of scenery.

You’ll start downtown amongst Milan’s historic landmarks and stylish cafes, quickly swapping city bustle for calmer roads and dedicated cycleways—over a third of your path is on cycleways, so you can pedal at ease. The route is mostly paved, with a pleasant mix of quiet backroads making up the majority, so traffic stays light and the air fresher.

Along the way, you’ll pass typical Milanese suburbs and maybe spot a few parks as you make your way to Cesano Boscone. Once there, check out its old-world charm and perhaps grab a coffee in the tranquil town center. With only gentle climbs and descents, this ride is a laid-back way to explore Milan’s outskirts and end up somewhere charming and less explored!
