En bici de Casalecchio di Reno a Bolonia

This relaxed 7.6 km ride takes you from Casalecchio di Reno—a leafy suburb just southwest of Bologna—straight into the heart of the historic city. Casalecchio is known for its lovely Parco Talon and is a popular spot for locals to escape the bustle of the city.

The route is mostly paved with smooth asphalt and takes advantage of dedicated cycleways for much of the way, making it a stress-free option for riders of all levels. You’ll wind through quiet residential areas and green spaces, with just a short stretch on busier roads as you approach Bologna.

Expect a gentle roll with mild ups and downs (less than 45 meters of ascent and descent), so nothing too strenuous. As you pedal towards Bologna, the city’s famous medieval towers and lively piazzas await. Park your bike near the Piazza Maggiore and savor a gelato or an espresso—after all, you’ve just cycled into one of Italy’s food capitals!
