This is the eighth in our ongoing series of blogs highlighting the cities along the route of our Trans-Europa cycling tour. Each year we have brought our cyclists to these cities and have learned a few new useful tips for those who might be considering heading there. So whether you are thinking to join our tour or plan on cycling there yourself, we hope this information will be helpful.
Cycling is strictly forbidden in the main city of Venice, but the Lido and other parts of the Venetian lagoon are good for bicycles. If you’re arriving in Venice by or with a bicycle and staying in the historic centre, you’ll need to leave your bike at one of the parking facilities on the mainland or in the less secure one at Piazzale Roma (1 day maximum).
In case your bike needs TLC or a day off, Lido has a number of bike rentals options. Venice Bike Rental has been around for more than 30 years.
