Gita in bici di un giorno da Pirano a Trieste

This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming coastal town of Piran in Slovenia to the vibrant Italian city of Trieste. Starting in Piran, you’ll be greeted by narrow cobbled streets and stunning views of the Adriatic Sea—don’t forget to snap a photo at Tartini Square before you ride out!

The route is about 47 km and mostly follows smooth, paved surfaces, bouncing between coastal paths and quiet roads. Along the way, you'll climb around 900 meters in elevation, giving you some nice leg-burn and plenty of panoramic vistas over vineyards, olive groves, and the glistening coastline. Keep an eye out for short gravel sections where you’ll want to slow down and soak in the peaceful countryside.

As you roll into Trieste, once the great port city of the Habsburg Empire, reward yourself with a gelato in Piazza Unità d’Italia—Italy’s largest sea-facing square. In just one ride, you’ll have journeyed from medieval Venetian charm to grand Austro-Italian elegance. Buon viaggio!
