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

This Jordan adventure was the perfect blend of history, adventure, and natural beauty. We cycled through stunning landscapes, from the rose-red canyons of Petra, where ancient wonders appear around every corner, to the vast, cinematic desert of Wadi Rum, under a sky full of stars. Along the way, we enjoyed gems like Aqaba, with its warm Red Sea waters and vibrant coral reefs, and the Dead Sea Resort, where floating in the salt-rich water was the ultimate reset after days of exploration.

The trip was thoughtfully designed, combining active adventure with cultural immersion.

Karabo Motaung Petra & Wadi Rum by Bike

We did this tour after a week in the North doing the golden triangle so it was nice to sample the north and the south of India – they are very different. The cycle routes were fabulous and as were in the main flat within most people’s ability. The tour should be named cycling the backwaters and coast of Kerala as more time is spent in the backwaters than on the coast – not a complaint as the backwaters are fabulous. The night on the houseboat was amazing and the home stay was better than we expected. A great way of seeing the area.

From the day I met Claudio in San Pedro to my last day in Salta.
I have seen so many different landscapes, cycling on so many different roads.
Was great to cycle on a salt lake, in narrow canyons, in a the devils’s throat on a road above 4000m in the middle of the puna among lamas and vicunias, in a forest along lakes or in the middle of vineyards and cactus !
