Gita in bici di un giorno da Bonn a Düsseldorf

Ready for a classic ride along the Rhine? This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming city of Bonn to the lively metropolis of Düsseldorf, covering just under 86 kilometers mostly on well-paved paths. Bonn, famous as Beethoven’s birthplace and Germany’s former capital, sets the perfect start point with its riverside views and cozy old town streets.

The route is pretty beginner-friendly: you’ll cruise mostly on cycle paths and quiet roads, with very gentle ups and downs—so nothing too taxing! About two-thirds of your ride is on smooth asphalt, weaving through small towns, lush riverbanks, and a few cobbled patches to add a little old-world flavor. Most of the way, you’ll be pedaling along the Rhine, so expect plenty of scenic picnic spots.

As you roll into Düsseldorf, known for its vibrant art scene and Altbier culture, you’ll finish at just over 68 meters elevation—pretty flat all the way! Don’t forget to treat yourself at one of Düsseldorf’s riverside cafés before heading home. This ride is all about relaxed exploration between two iconic Rhine cities!
