New this year from Inntravel is an Italian cycle adventure between two cities known for their rich artistic heritage: Mantua, a “renaissance gem” and Unesco world heritage site; and Verona, another medieval city and the romantic setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The route between the two is along bike paths and country roads, travelling between 20 and 40km per day, along the Minicio river valley via Lake Garda, stopping at Peschiera, as well as exploring the country park of Sigurtà. Expect a trip that ties together the natural and man-made beauty of northern Italy.
