Giro del Veneto

giro-venetoAugust 31st 2013

This year’s edition of the Giro del Veneto will start and finish in Padua, with participants riding through the Euganean Hills. Last year, the Giro started from Abano and successfully promoted not only cycle-tourism in Veneto, but also the well-known spa centres of Abano and Montegrotto.

There are many delightful cycle itineraries in Veneto but this event has done much to highlight the Treviso area, especially sections such as those around Montello and the finishes in the Piave District of Treviso and Piazza Giorgione in Castelfranco. For your cycling holiday, why not explore our bike hotels in Veneto and our specialist services for cyclists.
