Two of Italy’s most iconic cities, linked by flat farm roads, vineyards and Renaissance towns. Riding from Milan to Venice by bike takes you past Brescia’s Roman ruins, close to Lake Garda, into Verona’s arena and Vicenza’s Palladian villas, and ends with a ride across the lagoon on the Ponte della Libertà .
