The essentials at a glance

Star-shaped cycling tour from Desenzano on Lake Garda with daily excursions to Trento, Verona, Mantua, Brescia, and Solferino. Medium difficulty on flat to slightly hilly terrain. Includes boat trip on Lake Garda, train transfers, and accommodation in a 4-star hotel. Highlights include Romeo and Juliet's Verona, the Gonzaga city of Mantua, and the historic battlefield of Solferino. Daily distances average 50-65 km.

Culture, wine and lakes: a perfect mix! And you will experience the “dolce vita” without having to change your hotel. Welcome to a cycle tour, which will stimulate both your soul and your senses: high art and culture in the cities of Trento, Verona, Brescia, and Mantova – not only the Renaissance palaces of the city of Romeo and Juliet invite you to stay. The cathedral square in Trento and the antique forum in Brescia will enchant you. Enjoy the atmosphere of the Piazza Sordello in Mantova. Lake Garda, a blue-green, emerald, invites you to relax on its banks or to cool off in its refreshing waters. Or you relax while drinking a glass of wine, since in this region some of the most famous Italian wines are grown. Valpolicella, Lambrusco, Bardolino, Lugana…as we said…dolce vita“.

Starting from the southern shore of Lake Garda, you will get to know the region a little better each day. During the daily stages, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the lake, while the surrounding area also offers plenty to see – and taste! Savor the local specialties, above all fresh fish, and enjoy the wines from the Lugana and Custoza vineyards right by the lake. Your accommodation is the charming 4-star Hotel Lido International in Desenzano, from where you will set off on your varied daily stages.

  • Verona – Stories of Romeo & Juliet: Explore the city of the famous lovers, visit the Arena, and stroll through the charming piazzas. Tip: Cycle around the Arena for a unique perspective!

A centre-based tour makes your cycling holiday with Eurobike easy. Each day, you leave your accommodation in Desenzano, gather countless impressions, and return to your hotel full of happy moments.

Itinerary at a glance

You will stay in a charming hotel in Desenzano, from where you can explore the lake - this is particularly enjoyable during the included boat trip. In Verona, you will follow in the footsteps of Romeo and Juliet.

Information on the tour and bike fitting. We recommend taking a stroll through the old town.

The day starts with a transfer to Trento with its beautiful old town with cathedral and castle Buonconsiglio. Then, you will follow the river Adige via Rovereto to Mori. In Mori you will try the world-famous pistachio ice-cream or a freshly squeezed fruit juice in the Gelateria Bologna. From here, you will cycle westwards in the direction of Lake Garda. After a short climb, you will cycle downhill towards the lake in Torbole and further to Riva. From here, a boat will then take you down the entire length of the lake and back to Desenzano.

You will take the train to Verona in the morning. The city of Romeo and Juliet with its Renaissance palaces, the Roman arena, and the many cosy places invites you to stay for a stroll. Over gently rolling hills, past cypress trees and vineyards, the tour will take you back to the southern shore of the lake – for Goethe the lake was “a delicious spectacle”, for the Roman poet Catull “a shining star”.

Beautiful trails will lead you along the river Mincio southwards to Mantova. The thousand-year-old town of the royal Gonzaga family impresses its visitors with its art and beauty. The Castello S. Giorgio and the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza Sordello with the house of Rigoletto, the cathedral, the Piazza Broletto with the old city hall, the Piazza Erbe with the courthouse palace, the clock tower, the rotunda of San Lorenzo, and the Basilica of St. Andrew are worth seeing. The train will take you back to your hotel.

Today, you will follow lonely roads, through vineyards, peach orchards, and kiwi plantations to Solferino – The place, where Garibaldi united Italy in the famous “Battle of Solferino”. On your way back to Lake Garda, you will cycle through the area where the delicious wines of Lugana are grown.

Today, you will ride your bicycle along the lake shore towards Cavalgese di Riviera and get some unforgettable views of Lake Garda. Then, you will follow the Naviglio Grande Bresciano (canal with bike path) to Brescia – a city of Roman origin with many more places of interest. The train will take you back to Desenzano.
