Giro veloce in bici da Milano a Sesto San Giovanni

This ride takes you from the heart of metropolitan Milan to the urban edge of Sesto San Giovanni—an easy-going trip of about 11.5 km, mostly on quiet, paved roads and dedicated cycleways.

With barely 48 meters of ascent, the route is mostly flat—no tough climbs here, just steady pedaling. Expect a mix of asphalt and some paving stones, giving you a little urban variety. Once you approach Sesto San Giovanni, you’ll notice its post-industrial vibe; this town is known for its transformation from a historic industrial hub into a lively suburb with lots of green spaces and modern life.
