Giro d'Italia - Grande Partenza

It was the Romans who transformed a Celtic village into Aquincum, initially a military base but gradually transformed into a city with famous baths and amphitheatres. And from 6-11 May 2020, Budapest will be host to the descendants of the Romans for the start of the Giro d’Italia 2020.

Budapest was named European Best Destination in 2019 because ‘Budapest offers the elegance of Paris, the architectural heritage of Vienna, the charm of Porto, Stockholm’s gentle way of life’. Budapest, will also host the Giro's Grande Partenza in 2020. It begins with an individual time trial in Budapest, followed by two long stages (190km+) through the heart of Hungary. This will be a truly epic and unforgettable experience for those who join us.

As an "Official Tour Operator" of the Giro d'Italia, Grand Tours Project is in a special position to deliver the ultimate experience for passionate cyclists. We have designed an ‘Experience’ tour that introduces you to the magic of both Budapest, Hungary and the Giro d’Italia.

And this Tour is without a doubt one of the most unique we have ever designed. Our "Official Tour Operator" status ensures we will have our support vehicles on the course with our cyclists at all times, and we'll gain access to the VIP Giro Club in Budapest to watch the ITT race at the finish line. Our tour is designed for avid cyclists who wish to ride as much as possible on all these 3 stages, for those who wish to have a more relaxed ride of 60-100km per day, and for non-riding partners.
