With this bike tour along Riviera del Brenta, you will cycle along the famous waterway of the Brenta River between Padua and Venice. The nobles and patricians of the Republic of Venice chose it for their summer vacation stay.
Here they built their splendid residences along the river, imposing and spectacular villas surrounded by monumental gardens, frescoed and designed by the most important artists of the time such as Palladio, Scamozzi, Titian and Tintoretto.
With this Bike Tour along the Riviera del Brenta, you’ll start from Padua and follow the bike path along the river Brenta until you reach Venice.
The first stop is in fact Padua, the city of the Saint Anthony.
To understand the authentic spirit that animates the city you must walk among the stalls of the ancient fruit and vegetable market in Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza della Frutta.
Secondly, we suggest you to visit Palazzo Bo, seat of the ancient University and the Basilica of Saint Anthony.
Finally, you cannot forget to admire Giotto’s frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel.
After visiting the city of Padua, we leave in the direction of Venice, crossing the university district of Portello, with its monumental Ognissanti Gate, and then proceeding along the Piovego canal first, and then the Brenta canal. These medieval waterways guaranteed communication between Padua and Venice for many centuries, through the famous Brenta Riviera.
Continuing your bike tour along the Riviera del Brenta, you will be able to capture the beauty of Venetian architecture not only in the many noble buildings but also in the rustic dwellings, which, although they have lost their original productive function, still preserve the courtly details of Venetian palaces.
By bicycle it is possible to travel the same routes and admire the same landscapes that amazed travelers in past centuries: Villa Pisani in Stra, the beautiful center of Dolo and Villa Foscari known as “la Malcontenta”, the pinnacle of Palladian architecture.
Guaranteed departure with a minimum of 4 paying adults.
