Gita in bici di un giorno da Nuova Gorizia a Trieste

Get ready for a scenic cross-border ride from Nova Gorica to Trieste! Starting in Nova Gorica—Slovenia’s lively “new town” known for its leafy promenades and as a fun gateway to the wine-rich Brda hills—you’ll pedal southward for about 65 km, mostly on quiet roads and mixed surfaces (expect a friendly blend of smooth asphalt, gravel, and a few bumpy tracks).

The route is quite hilly, with just over 1000 meters total ascent and a similar amount of descent, so bring your climbing legs—and enjoy sweeping hilltop views! Roughly half the ride glides through low-traffic roads, perfect for soaking up the rolling green landscape of the Karst region.

Your journey ends in the Italian port city of Trieste, famed for its grand Habsburg-era architecture and legendary literary cafés. Be sure to reward yourself with a coffee or gelato by the sea. It’s a rewarding ride that connects two cultures, lots of history, and some seriously beautiful vistas along the way. Don’t forget your passport!
