Cycling Holidays in Europe

Europe Cycling Tours

The traditional heartland of a cycling holiday, Europe appeals to all types of cyclists. Novices will enjoy the more leisurely pace of some our cycling tours in Europe that take in the sweeping vistas of ancient lands. While serious cyclists get the chance to tackle world-famous cols and climbs on the same routes as the professional athletes.

The Tour de France is a tour de force when it comes to navigating winding back roads, coastal clifftops, iconic cols and showcases what Europe has to offer- it’s no wonder cycling tours in Europe are soaring in popularity.

With so many people taking to two wheels, it’s only natural to want to branch out and discover a different country from a new vantage, and we have plenty of cycling trips in Europe to tempt you. For those who enjoy a combination of culture and cuisine, we have our leisurely tours of the Loire Valley and its sprawling Chateaux. Italian escapes that showcase the rugged beauty of northern Italy are perfect for those looking for a slight challenge.

Cycling trips in Europe are made to be enjoyed. Wind your way through multiple countries along the banks of beautiful rivers and canals, meander the pastoral paths through idyllic countryside or find your way through ancient forests and rugged coastlines.

Top 5 Destinations for Cycling Tours in Europe

Italy

Saddle up for an Italian adventure where every pedal stroke blends culture, carbs, and countryside charm. Wind your way through wetlands dotted with flamingos in Sardinia, spin past fairytale trulli houses on our Cycling Puglia to Matera tour, or chase cannoli and coastal views on Cycling in Sicily. From Renaissance cities to the pastel-colored towns of the Amalfi Coast, every ride is a story – and a feast. Explore the full collection of Italy cycling tours. Just don’t forget, gelato stops are practically mandatory.

Portugal

Pedal your way through Portugal’s soul on our Portugal cycling tours—where sleepy fishing villages, castle-topped hills, and custard tarts await. Follow the Atlantic coast on our Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride, or tick off scallop shells and seaside charm on the Coastal Portuguese Camino. Whether you’re riding past towering dunes and pine forests or café-hopping in Lisbon, the scenery is as satisfying as the seafood. Expect quiet country roads, sweeping ocean views, and the satisfying hum of tires on the pavement.

The Baltics

Three countries. Countless castles. One unforgettable ride. On our Cycle the Baltics tour, you’ll bike mostly quiet backroads from Estonia to Lithuania, gliding past forests, sandy coastlines, and fairy-tale spires. Along the way, you’ll explore medieval old towns, wind through stunning national parks, including Lahemaa and Curonian Spit, and swap handlebars for history in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. A visit to the iconic floating Trakai Castle rounds off this incredible multi-country tour. It’s smooth riding, ever-changing scenery, and just enough cobblestones to keep you on your toes.

Spain

From pine-fringed coves to Roman ruins, our Spain cycling tours reveal the country’s most scenic routes. Follow coastal trails and wetland paths on the Cycling the Mediterranean Coast trip, or bike past rugged cliffsides and surreal seascapes that once inspired Dalí on our Cycling in Girona and the Catalan Coast. Prefer pilgrims to painters? Our Cycling the Camino de Santiago leads you deep into Galicia’s sacred heart, past Baroque churches and lush countryside. Spain, seen from the saddle with our expert local guides, is anything but ordinary.

Europe Cycling FAQs

Have been on 5 Exodus trips and this was by far the best of the best. Sicily itself is utterly breathtaking, wonderful scenery, great group of people to cycle with and our guide Davide was the best tour guide I have had the good fortune to meet. He was really knowledgeable, funny, supportive to everyone who were at all different levels of cycling ability and treated us all as individuals. The routes he took us had some of the best views ever and every day was totally different. He picked out wonderful restaurant choices and stayed with us until the bitter end. On the penultimate day I was looking to the left coming down a steep hill instead of keeping my eye on the road and fell off my bike (I really am the clumsiest person alive). I injured my arm and Davide quickly came to the rescue and ensured that my safety was paramount. He went over and above, even offering to drive me to restaurants in the evening to ensure I didn’t miss out, he is one in a million and made our holiday really special (it was our 33rd wedding anniversary and my husband’s birthday). If Davide is still there next year we will return as we both fell in love with Sicily’s charm, architecture, coastline and of course the wonderful cuisine. If I could give this trip 10 stars, I would. Also a huge shout out to the lovely driver Sebi/Sepi not sure which, who kindly ferried me around in his van after my accident and really looked after me.

An amazing trip across the steppes of Mongolia. Each day revealed new horizons and a greater appreciation of the vastness of this remote country.
