The Sun Route

EUROVELO 7 runs from North Cape to Malta. You cycle along it from Verona to Bologna to visit extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage cities (Verona, Mantua, Bologna) and have the opportunity to slowly discover often little-known areas: the countryside of the Po Valley, reshaped by human hands, with its artistic and gastronomic heritage.

Starting from Verona, you will discover the Valpolicella area, then head South towards Mantua. You will then encounter the Po and Secchia rivers, before taking the cycle path on the old disused railway line that will take you safely from Mirandola to Osteria Nuova. You will discover small authentic villages such as Mirandola and San Felice sul Panaro, before reaching Bologna, the city of a thousand porticoes, soaring towers, ancient university and delicious cuisine.

Highlights

• Verona, Mantova, Bologna: three historical cities
• Valpolicella and the Bologna countryside: two loop tours
• The Po Valley: small towns and world-famous food

Most of the route runs along cycle paths. The first stage in Valpolicella is the only one that is slightly hilly. The road surface is mainly asphalt, with short stretches of dirt road.
