Overview
Real Danube Tourism
  • The Mincio cycle path, which is relatively unknown in our part of the world, leads from the end of Lake Garda near Peschiera, passing the historic Borghetto and close to the Parco Giardino Sigurtà, to the center of the magnificent ducal city of Mantua.
  • Mantua is one of the few cities in Italy that has first-class sights (cathedral, Palazzo Ducale, Centro Storico, etc.) and yet is little known.
  • The car-free bike paths lead to Mantua train station; Verona is one of the most cyclist-friendly cities in Italy!
Additional information Return transfer

If the destination of your trip is more convenient for you, you can also use the return transfer (transfer to the starting point of the trip) right at the beginning of your trip.
