Discover Italy's Food Capital, Emilia Romagna With Cycling Holidays
If you're a keen foodie in search of the ideal cycling holidays in Europe, why not travel to Italy? By visiting Emilia Romagna, you can explore some of the best gastronomic destinations in the country - all while enjoying cycling through beautiful, flat terrain.
This region is in fact a wonderful location for cycling holidays in Italy for many reasons. While it is famed for its food, it's also known for its historic buildings, town and cities, as well as its picturesque countryside replete with vineyards, orchards and nature reserves.
And because the terrain here is largely flat, you'll find that cycling holidays in this region are suitable for people of all ages and abilities - meaning exploring this fantastic area by bicycle is not restricted to those who regularly travel this way.
Transferring your luggage between hotels for you, your tour operator will take care of your bags so you need not be concerned with carrying heavy suitcases with you as you cycle.
Your cycling adventure will begin in the historic location of Ravenna, where you will discover many structures boasting UNESCO World Heritage Status, such as Byzantine mosaics and early Christian churches. Once you've explored these, why not venture further into the town and discover the stunning squares and beautiful streets?
Alternatively, just five miles away lies some wonderful beaches on the Adriatic coast, which could be the perfect location for a relaxing afternoon simply enjoying the scenery and soaking up the sun.
Leaving historic Ravenna behind, you will cycle to Comacchio, taking a route through the Po Delta Nature Reserve. This will prove to be a particular treat for wildlife fans, who will be able to spot pink flamingos and crested grebes among countless other fascinating species.
Arriving in Comacchio, you may well be reminded of another famous Italian destination. Often referred to as 'Little Venice', the town is laced with scenic canals and bridges that instantly call to mind the renowned city.
While you're here, you can visit the ninth century abbey and bell tower. Alternatively, why not cycle to Porto Garibaldi - a fishing port that would be the ideal destination to continue your gastronomic adventures? Here you will find fantastic seafood restaurants offering a range of delicious dishes - and often excellent views, too.
Cycling along the Comacchio lagoon, you will start your journey to Runco. The route along this beautiful body of water is filled with amazing sights, such as rare birds gliding through the air and a huge variety of fish to be spotted through the clear water.
After spending the night in a fabulous farmhouse filled with historical artefacts, you will be able to take to two wheels once more to see the vineyards and orchards that make up so much of the local area. And you can even travel to Ferrara, which is known as Italy's cycling capital, to see some of the stunning artworks it is home to.
From Runco you can cycle along blissfully quiet country lanes to the ancient town of Budrio. After exploring the cobbled streets and wonderful piazzas, make sure you take the short train journey to Bologna - the capital of Emilia Romagna.
This vibrant, historical city is widely regarded as the country's gastronomic capital, so make sure you visit one of its many restaurants to taste its culinary creations before travelling home.
