Gita in bici di un giorno da Padova a Vicenza

Ready to pedal from Padua to Vicenza? This is a lovely and mostly flat ride of about 47 kilometers through the heart of the Veneto region. You’ll start in Padua, famous for its historic university—one of the oldest in the world—and its lively piazzas lined with cafes. The route rolls north-west, taking you along mostly quiet roads, paths, and some dedicated cycleways. It’s a relaxed mix of smooth asphalt (about 77%) and a bit of adventure on gravel or loose surfaces, especially as you leave the bigger towns.

With only a gentle rise and fall (just 73 meters ascent), this ride is perfect for any cyclist who enjoys a scenic journey without too much climb. Along the way, you'll pass through a patchwork of fields, small villages, and maybe even spot some villas typical of the Veneto countryside.

Your journey ends in Vicenza, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the home of architect Palladio. Take some time to explore the beautiful city center with its grand palazzi before you head home—or maybe just for a well-earned gelato!
