Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Desenzano del Garda à Vérone

This scenic ride takes you from the charming lakeside town of Desenzano del Garda to the vibrant city of Verona—yes, the setting of Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet"! The route covers just under 50 km and is mostly on beautiful, smooth asphalt, with relaxed riding on dedicated cycleways and quiet roads. You’ll start with views over Lake Garda’s shimmering blue water, then meander through the rolling countryside and vineyards of the Veneto region.

With only about 287 meters of ascent and a gentle descent into Verona, it’s ideal for a leisurely day trip. Take a break at one of the small towns or cafés en route to soak up more of that Northern Italian charm. Once in Verona, park your bike and check out the ancient Roman Arena or the world-famous Juliet’s balcony in the old city center. It’s a gorgeous, fun ride packed with scenery and a dash of Italian history at both ends!
