A Whole New Giro: Emilia-Romagna by Bike

Flavorsome Roads, Historic Trails

From Bologna to Cesenatico: through art cities, gentle hills, and sea horizons

A bike journey that’s more than just a way to get from A to B — it’s a whole new way of experiencing Emilia-Romagna: slower, more authentic, and deeply connected to the land.

Start in Bologna, the city of towers, endless porticoes, and homestyle cooking that fills the air with warmth. From here, the route winds its way along quiet country roads, cycle paths, and rural trails — perfect for those who love to ride without rushing, whether on a traditional bike or a comfortable e-bike.

You’ll ride through the Bolognese countryside, dotted with farmhouses and neatly lined vineyards, before reaching the soft, rolling hills of Romagna.

Along the way, you’ll pass silent villages, open wineries, authentic trattorias, hidden parish churches, fields of sunflowers, and friendly faces that greet you with a smile. The landscape opens up, the green gives way to blue: Cesenatico awaits, with the scent of the sea and a vibrant seafaring tradition.
