40 commuting but also during holidays. Cycling holidays are a wonderful way to get closer to nature but also to discover the history, culture and traditions of a place. There is no better way to discover Italy than by bicycle. No place like Italy allows you to see unique wonders. Whether we are talking about road bikes, mountain bikes, gravels or e-bikes, few countries lend themselves more to cycling holidays than Italy: the beauty of the landscapes, the artistic, cultural, food and wine offerings, the mild climate. How to organize your trip, what do you need? Essential baggage, a first aid kit for you and your bike and a set itinerary. From north to south each Italian region offers both paved and country cycle paths. The Ciclopista del Sole (eurovelo 7) is the longest cycle path in Italy. It measures 3000 km and crosses the peninsula from the border with Austria (Brenner) to the Sicilian coast. The Ciclopista del Sole is part of the European cycle path, EuroVelo 7, which connects the North Cape to Malta via Italy. At the moment most of the routes of the Ciclopista del Sole are not real cycle paths but dirt roads and country roads where you ride in the silence of nature. Unfortunately, the cycle path from Rome to Naples is not yet a safe route for cyclists.
