Gita in bici di un giorno da Verona a Padova

Cycling from Verona to Padua

Get ready for a gorgeous ride across the heart of the Veneto! Starting in Verona—the romantic city of Romeo and Juliet and home to the stunning Roman Arena—you’ll head east on a pretty flat, mostly paved route through charming countryside and quiet towns.

The ride to Padua is about 139 km, with hardly any climbs—so it’s perfect if you want a long, scenic journey without killer hills. Most of the surfaces are good quality asphalt or paved cycle paths, with occasional stretches of gravel and country tracks.

You’ll cruise through farmland and sleepy villages, rolling past vineyards and fields with the Alps in the distance. Near the end, you’ll finish in Padua, famous for its historic university (one of the world’s oldest!), bustling piazzas, and the stunning Basilica of Saint Anthony.

It’s a fantastic way to experience northern Italy at a gentle pace—take it slow, soak in the views, and don’t forget to grab a cappuccino along the way!
