In Italy, with its boot-shaped geography, the Riviera—which runs along the Mediterranean coast in the north of the country—is, in a sense, the equivalent of the knee. On this sunny route, you can choose between a coastal route, mainly between Diano Marina and Viareggio, or a more challenging climb into the hinterland.
Along the way, you’ll pass through Genoa, the birthplace of the explorer Christopher Columbus, and have the opportunity to visit the Cinque Terre and its villages, spectacularly perched on steep cliffs, whose multicolored beauty has earned them a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The last third of your trip will take a more cultural turn as you leave the riverbank behind and cycle east toward Pisa and Florence. This is Italy at its most charming—you might even find yourself kneeling in awe!
