Bicycle Tour Italy

The Romagna region has a wealth of hillsides and places to explore by bicycle. In fact, our region has long been famous among those who love cycling. Here you will find many ‘pedaling clubs’ that can provide indications on the various itineraries for any degree of athletic preparation. Such itineraries range from the famous, demanding ‘nove colli’ (nine hills) event to the routes that start directly from the beach and work their way inland.
During these excursions, bicycle tourists can stop to savour the rich Romagna cuisine. There is an abundance of places that offer succulent dishes and wines, the very heart of our traditions.
