Starting from Udine, the bicycle route takes you through charming villages such as Baldasseria, Pradamano and Pavia di Udine, characterized by the presence of fascinating Venetian villas dating back to the 17th-19th centuries. Many of these, in Palladian or neoclassical style, enrich the scenery along the route. Upon reaching Palmanova, a Venetian fortress city and UNESCO site, you can visit its historical points of interest. After Palmanova, you descend towards Strassoldo with its castles surrounded by gardens and vegetation. A scenic cycle path, built on an old railway, leads from Cervignano to the ancient Roman colony of Aquileia. The last part of the route is extremely picturesque, crossing the lagoon towards Grado, a famous seaside resort and early medieval historic center. Here you can admire Byzantine art in the churches and enjoy the marine landscapes. In Grado, you will find full services, but it is advisable to book in advance during the summer.
