Highlights
- Arena di Verona - Begin your bike tour by hopping on your bike and heading to Piazza Bra, where you can’t miss the colossal pink-tinged marble Amphitheatre, the Roman Arena. This legendary open-air Opera House hosts world-class music events, attracting aficionados from around the globe, all under the glow of tens of thousands of candles.
- Piazza delle Erbe - Pedal to Porta Borsari, an ancient Roman gate dating back to the 1st century AD, and arrive at Piazza delle Erbe. Once the town’s forum during the Roman Empire, it is now a vibrant open-air market surrounded by historical buildings adorned with frescoes and sculptures.
- Casa di Giulietta - Navigate through the maze of lanes to visit Verona’s temple of love, Casa di Giulietta, located at Via Cappello no. 23. In the small, crowded courtyard, you’ll find a bronze statue of Juliet. Imagine being hidden in the darkness, hearing her speak from the balcony in the moonlight.
- Piazza dei Signori - Get back on your bikes, still surrounded by the romantic atmosphere, and head to the central Medieval Piazza dei Signori e Arche Scaligere. Here, you can admire beautiful buildings and soak in the lively ambiance of the square before cycling towards the Adige River.
- Piazzale Castel San Pietro - From Brà Molinari, enjoy a stunning view of the city’s river and hills. After stopping in front of the Duomo and crossing the ancient Roman arch bridge Ponte Pietra, prepare for a short climb. Leave your bikes and ascend to Castel San Pietro via a panoramic staircase. The effort is well worth it, as you’ll be rewarded with spectacular ruins of the Roman theatre and a breathtaking view of Verona.
- Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore - Cross back over the river on the Scaliger bridge, a fortified bridge built in the 14th century and faithfully rebuilt with original materials after being destroyed by retreating German troops on April 24, 1945. Conclude your Verona bike tour at the magnificent Romanesque Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, home to a beautiful masterpiece by Mantegna.

Beautiful way to discover Verona - Our sweet, fearless guide took us through Verona with a group of 14 Dutch people. If you think cycling in the Netherlands has been exciting since then, think again. We rode through busy streets, ringing our bicycle bells. We saw the most beautiful places where we received detailed explanations. Not 3 but 4 hours. And in the meantime she went looking for tickets for a football match.
Great way to discover Verona.
It's just a shame that they are simple bikes. Sometimes I missed my own Dutch e-bike 😃

Verona cites covered in 3 hours - The route is fantastic, it covers all major Verona sites. The climb to Castle of St. Pietro is an absolute highlight. Daniela is very attentive guide and is conveying her love to her home town to tourists.
I also loved vintage style bikes. The start/end point is near a cute local restaurant which is a good place for coffee/lunch.
