Cycling day trip from Mantova to Ferrara

Ready for a scenic cycling journey through some truly stunning Italian landscapes? Start your ride in the charming town of Mantova, known for its Renaissance architecture and delicious local cuisine. You'll pedal through a delightful mix of quiet roads and cycleways, making your way towards the historic city of Ferrara.

The route is about 103 kilometers long, and although that might sound daunting, the mostly flat terrain and peaceful roads ensure a leisurely ride. You’ll find yourself surrounded by the lushness of the countryside with occasional sections of gravel for that extra bit of adventure.

As you approach Ferrara, known for its medieval and Renaissance buildings and extensive cycling paths (seriously, it's a cyclist's paradise!), you'll cross a gentle landscape that’s just begging for a few photo breaks. With a mere 119 meters of ascent, this route is perfect for a laid-back cycle while soaking in the culture and scenery.

Remember to enjoy some local delicacies at your starting and ending points – Mantova's risotto is a must-try, and Ferrara’s cappellacci di zucca will not disappoint. Happy cycling!
