Excursión ciclista de un día de Grado a Trieste

This is a beautiful and adventurous cycling route from Grado to Trieste, stretching just under 80 km along Italy's stunning Adriatic coast. Starting in Grado, a charming island town known for its sandy beaches and Roman history, you’ll head southeast, weaving through quiet back roads and tracks, with plenty of sea breezes to keep you company.

The ride mixes surfaces—expect mostly paved and asphalt, but be ready for some gravel and unpaved sections that add a touch of adventure. With nearly 1,000 meters of climbing, it’s not a flat ride, but your effort is rewarded with sweeping views, rolling hills, and the lush greenery of the Karst plateau as you near Trieste.

Trieste itself is a jewel—sitting at the crossroads of Italian, Slavic, and Austrian cultures and famous for its grand squares, bustling harbor, and legendary coffee culture. Best of all, you’ll finish right by the sea, where a refreshing dip or a gelato awaits. Perfect for a full day out, this route blends coastal charm, history, and a real sense of crossing into a unique corner of Europe. Enjoy the ride!
