Cycling day trip from Bardolino to Verona

This scenic ride takes you from the chilled lakeside town of Bardolino, perched on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, all the way to the lively city of Verona. Starting in Bardolino, famous for its local wines and olive oil, you'll roll out along mostly paved cycleways and quiet roads, so it's a comfortable journey even if you're not a road warrior.

The route is just over 27 km, with gentle ups and downs—nothing too steep—with a nice long descent as you approach Verona. Most of the path sticks to asphalt, winding through vineyards, small villages, and rolling countryside. You’ll even get a taste of the region’s famed grape fields along the way!

After roughly an hour and a half of riding (unless you’re stopping for pictures and gelato, as you should), you’ll arrive in Verona. Known for its stunning Roman Arena and Juliet’s balcony, it’s a perfect spot to park your bike and explore on foot. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a Spritz at a piazza—cheers, you’ve earned it!
