Excursión ciclista de un día de Trieste a Piran

Set off from the vibrant port city of Trieste—known for its blend of Italian, Slovenian, and Austro-Hungarian influences—towards the stunning Slovenian coastline at Piran. This ride covers just under 50 km, winding through picturesque border landscapes, rolling hills, and charming coastal towns.

Expect a bit of a workout, with nearly 900 meters of climbing, but most of the path sticks to smooth asphalt and quiet roads, making it quite enjoyable for a medium-level cyclist. The route mixes peaceful cycleways with quaint country roads and offers the occasional sweeping view of the Adriatic Sea.

Don’t miss an espresso in Trieste before rolling out—the coffee scene is legendary here! As you arrive in Piran, get ready for narrow medieval streets and colorful Venetian architecture perched above the sea.

Take your time to soak up the cross-cultural vibes riding from Italy into Slovenia, and reward yourself with some fresh seafood by the water once you arrive at your laid-back Piran finish line.
