Giro veloce in bici da Sesto San Giovanni a Milano

This ride takes you from the lively suburbs of Sesto San Giovanni—just north of Milan—right into the heart of Italy’s fashion capital. Sesto San Giovanni is known for its industrial history and has transformed over recent years into a vibrant residential and commercial hub. From there, you’ll pedal about 14 km mostly along smooth asphalt and quiet roads, making for a stress-free cruise.

Roughly half of the route is on dedicated cycleways, and you'll barely encounter any busy roads, which is pretty rare for such a big urban ride! With only a gentle 40-meter ascent (and even a bit more descent), the way is easy for all levels. As you approach Milan, the scenery shifts from quiet neighborhoods to the buzzier city limits—finish up amid Milan’s grand architecture, cool cafes, and maybe even catch sight of the iconic Duomo.

It’s a perfect city-hopping route: straightforward, mostly flat, and a great way to start your Milan adventure on two wheels!
