Discover Italy
With an astoundingly rich cultural legacy and stunning, varied landscapes, Italy truly has something for everyone. The Italian dedication to living well is evident is everything from an expertly pulled espresso to a couple strolling hand in hand on an evening passeggiata. There’s no better way to get a taste of la dolce vita than on a VBT bike tour in Italy.
Adventurers looking to soak it all in can follow cypress-lined lanes through rolling vineyards in Piedmont, pause to say “buongiorno” at an olive oil mill hidden among centuries-old olive trees in Puglia, cycle into the magnificent valleys and storybook villages of the Dolomites, or stop for a gelato in a cliffside village beside the sparkling Mediterranean in Tuscany.
From Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi’s Dome in Florence to the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City and da Vinci’s The Last Supper in Milan, Italy’s cities are a seemingly endless treasure trove of artistic and architectural masterpieces. Whether you’re walking along the canals of Venice or exploring the cobbled streets of Verona, endless wonders await.
A bike tour in Italy is the perfect way to work up an appetite for the country’s famously delicious food. Whether you’re tucking into a hearty seafood risotto in Sicily, enjoying pizza in its historic birthplace of Naples, sampling fresh cheese and fine wine in Piedmont, or slurping spaghetti in Rome, you’ll revel in the slow food mentality so prized here. And, of course, there’s always time to stop along the road for gelato.
Country Highlights
- Cruise across the Venice Lagoon and take in the majestic city of canals from the water.
- Marvel at medieval Castiglione della Pescaia, a stunning walled coastal city.
- Learn about “white gold” on a truffle-hunting search with an expert and his dog.
- Discover the stone trulli dwellings of Alberobello.
- Pedal along quiet rustic roads toward the Mediterranean Sea.
Renaissance Art
Experience the Renaissance as Italy’s overwhelming cache of art and architecture transport you back in time. Watch Donatello’s wood-carved Penitent Magdalene weep in the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, take in the beauty of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus in the Uffizi galleries, or stand in Michelangelo’s great dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. The masterpieces of this unsurpassed period in art history are all around you here.
Italian Cuisine
Italian cuisine is all about showcasing fresh, local ingredients in the most delicious way possible. Eat your way through the country’s 20 regions, each of which which has its own distinctive set of flavors. From creamy risotto in the north to cannoli in Sicily, there’s much more to Italian food than pizza and pasta (although you certainly won’t struggle to find the best of these popular dishes here).
Wine
More than 350 grape varietals grow throughout Italy’s 20 wine-producing regions, and the country exports more wine than any other. There are wines for every taste here, from Chianti to Prosecco and Pinot Grigio. Whether you’re strolling through vineyards in Tuscany or attending a tasting in a centuries old cellar in Puglia, you’ll get to experience the country’s famed wine culture up close.
My father and I have done 4 trips to date with VBT, all in Italy. This was my first time to Sicily. My father and I had the best time: the places (e.g. Taormina) we visited and the food were beautiful and delicious. And of course, the best part of the trip is the company and expertise of the guides. Mauro and Sabrina are fantastic and completely made the trip for us.
Italy: Sicily, the Noto Valley & Syracuse
Being able to experience the beauty of Sicily on a bike was brilliant! I loved that I could go at my own pace and stop to soak up a view or take a picture whenever I wanted. At the same time I knew I was being looked after and that just down the road there would be lunch or a fun cultural experience waiting for me.
