Bike Riding in Italy

In Italy on a Motorcycle / Bike Riding in Italy

Italy motorcycle Tour:  From Rome

Rome - you can spend a few days in Rome: enjoy your night riding downtown and take excursions to the outskirts of the city to places like Frascati and I castelli Romani, or Cerveteri towards the north if you are interested in antique culture (Etruscan). During the warm weather you can also have a great day trip to the Parco Nazionale in Abruzzo. From Rome you should move toward Tuscany where more or less anyplace that you go you will find good riding (take the Cassia or if you prefer the sea route, the Aurelia, and ride North), stay in Florence, Siena or in many of the smaller antique towns that Tuscany has to offer like Pienza or San Gimignano… After Tuscany you can move toward Umbria and the hundreds of medieval towns that Umbria has to offer. Umbria: If the weather is good you will have a great ride more or less wherever you go. From Umbria you can go back to Rome and then head toward the stupendous Amalfi coast.

If you find a better combination of flights / bike rentals from Milan, there are also great rides in the lake region and then on to the Alps beyond, Venice, the Cinque Terre, Portofino etc. These are all great itineraries.

I personally like the Green Guide (from Michelin / TCI ) in for indications of what to visit in Italy. You can grab the guide and see right away which town to visit - The star system to identify attractions is quite reliable and allows you to plan your trip on the spot.

I will see if some of my Italian friends who have much more riding experience than me have more suggestions - and I will add to the story - If you have questions please go to the contact-us form ( I do not want to put my email public here to avoid spamming)>

* The guide on the left is an excellent help if you are thinking of some riding itineraries - Unfortunately ( for you ) it is all in Italian! It is a new guide for 2003  - It shows 43 itineraries - Motorcycle gathering places - 150 scenic mountain crossings.
