Trieste by bike

Cycle routes to discover the beauties of Trieste, the Karst and the surrounding area!
intro sezione bike
Set between the Adriatic Sea and the green of the Karst that connects it to the Slovenian hinterland, Trieste gives you the luxury of passing in a few minutes from the central Piazza Unità d'Italia, overlooking the sea, to the karst plateau surrounded by unspoiled nature.

This is the place where bicycle or trekking enthusiasts can indulge themselves by exploring countless CAI paths, encountering small villages with typical karst architecture, refreshing themselves in farmhouses and osmize between vineyards, farms, fields and courtyards that offer excellent "0 km products" such as wine, oil, meats, cheeses, vegetables and wild herbs, honey.

Pedaling while breathing the wind, basking in the sun with the glare of the sea or searching for your own identity in the midst of the many cultures that meet among sinkholes, ancient villages and borders.

Just get on your mountain bike or rent an e-bike to easily reach the Karst from the city, perhaps after having explored the historic center using the bike sharing service that allows you to discover the whole city from Porto Vecchio to the banks, reaching the most beautiful places of culture and art.
