Itinerary
You'll depart from Verona city center. The instructor will give you all the information and make sure you'll have he right size of e-bike.
Admire the ancient Arena, you can bike all around it. If you ride during the opera season, you will have a chance to browse around the choreographies: cumbersome wood and papier-mâché works made by skilled hands that are left outside the arena between operas. If you have the time, visit the Arena inside too.
As you discover the Castelvecchio Bridge, you will read about the Scaligeri family, who ruled Verona for a long time during the Middle Ages. There is a nice museum there too, if you like. Climb to the first stage, in the central tower of Castelvecchio. You'll have beautiful sights of Verona downtown!
This is the heart of the Carnival of Verona, and a beautiful large square where kids play all day long. The cathedral itself is majestic and beautiful. If you have the time, visit it from inside. In its cool penumbra, you'll discover beautiful pieces of art, as the "Pala del Mantegna".
Following the app and reading its content, you'll discover more monuments and corners of Verona city center, as the central Piazza Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, the cathedral, the nice views by the river… Enjoy the route by bike, and stop where and when you like!
Bring your bikes back before 6:30 pm. We hope you enjoyed the tour!

About Verona
Verona, in Veneto, is a Roman and medieval city on a loop of the Adige, with a vast arena, Juliet's balcony and Lake Garda close by.
The Adige curves around Verona's old centre, and the city's Roman past is plain to see in the Arena, an amphitheatre of the first century that still stages open-air opera in summer. Piazza delle Erbe, the market square on the old Roman forum, is lined with frescoed houses and has a column topped by the lion of Venice, and the Torre dei Lamberti beside it can be climbed. The historic city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
