Touring Bike
£112 for 7 days
A circular route linking the two souls of the Veneto: the elegant art cities and the industrious, vineyard-covered countryside. Starting and finishing on the Venice mainland, the ride passes through the Euganean Hills spa district, Palladio's Vicenza, the grappa town of Bassano del Grappa and the hill town of Asolo, before returning via Treviso.
