Excursión ciclista de un día de Udine a Trieste

Get ready for an epic ride from Udine to Trieste, passing through the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia! Starting in Udine—a city known for its medieval center, vibrant piazzas, and Tiepolo frescoes—you’ll head southeast toward the Adriatic coast. The route is just under 96 km, with some punchy climbs totaling about 1,060 meters of ascent, so expect rolling hills and beautiful views, especially as you near the Carso plateau.

The mix of surfaces keeps things interesting, with almost half on asphalt or paved roads and a decent chunk on gravel or more rustic paths—so a sturdy bike and wide tires will come in handy. Most of your journey will be on quiet country roads, meaning less traffic and more chances to enjoy the landscape.

After a satisfying ride, you’ll roll into Trieste, an elegant port city blending Italian, Slavic, and Austro-Hungarian influences. Don’t miss a coffee in one of its historic cafés or a walk along the waterfront. It’s a challenging but incredibly rewarding route—perfect for cyclists who love a bit of adventure, scenery, and history!
