Ride a little before you start
If you’re not a regular rider, spin gently for 10 minutes before the tour to get used to bike handling and cobbles.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Hydration stations are limited on the route—carry 0.5–1L depending on temperature.
Watch for trams and cobbles
Tram tracks and short cobbled stretches are common—cross tracks at a steep angle and lower speed over stones.
Choose an early departure in summer
Mornings are cooler and less congested; late afternoon offers aperitivo energy but more pedestrians.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects toes and gives better pedal control on city cobbles.
Small daypack or handlebar bag
Carries water, documents, camera and any layers without restricting movement.
Light rain jacket
Spring showers come quickly—pack a breathable shell for comfort.
