Italian Motorcycle Holidays Mix Culture and the Open Road
Are you a passionate motorbiker who’s looking to combine your love of riding with the deep-rooted tradition and regional charm of a country like Italy? Discover the alternative vacation that brings you both.
If you’re a motorcyclist thinking about your next vacation, where to go and what to do, look no further than Italy to combine your passion with the cultural appeal of one of the most beautiful European countries. Maybe you’ve done the whole USA coast to coast and ridden through the desolate Midwest, but exploring this foreign country will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
There are several Italian companies that plan motorbike tours throughout different areas of the country. One of the great things about Italy that makes it so appealing to motorcyclists is that it has a diverse terrain and no shortage of exciting roads and twisting and turning courses. In addition to that, this varying landscape allows for virtually any kind of vacation setting you want: mountains, sea or countryside.
Maybe you’d like to enjoy an 8-day tour through Tuscany and Rome, soaking in that Medieval beauty while riding through the Tuscan hills dotted with castles and fortresses. Not only will you experience the charm of one of Italy’s most sought after regions, but you will have the chance to experience one of the most world renowned cuisines. The course will bring you through ancient towns such as Pienza, Pisa, San Gimignano, Siena and Val d’Orcia.
If your preferred holiday setting is the majestic mountains, a motorcycle tour through the Alps and Dolomites can be arranged. Having been granted the title of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Dolomites are one of Italy’s most breathtaking attributes. This 10-day excursion will take you through mountain roads, a narrow course that will challenge your riding skills, taking you around sharp curves and descents amidst the backdrop of the mountainous terrain.
To satisfy your need for speed along with a little sun and sea, take the tour around Italy’s island of Sardinia. Nature mixed with sand and sea and a challenging path will satisfy everything you’re looking for in a motorbike holiday. In addition to the decadent cuisine you’ll experience on this 10-day adventure, you’ll also have the chance to take a dip in the incomparable crystalline waters. Start the tour in the lovely Spanish-style town of Alghero in Northwestern Sardinia where you can admire the Catalan churches and cobblestone paths of the ancient center before setting off.
Or what about the ultimate tour through Italy? 16 days on your motorcycle mixing all the landscapes from country to city to sea. Discover Rome and Lazio, Sardinia, the Italian Riviera (Cinque Terre in Liguria) and Tuscany in addition to two excursions in Umbria and Emilia Romagna. It is the perfect way to capture all the country has to offer in the span of just over two weeks, a vacation with memories to last a lifetime.
Of course, if you have always had some fascination with Italy and have a clear idea of the course you want to follow, custom-made itineraries are also an option as opposed to the pre-planned ones that travel with about 6 to 12 riders for an intimate experience. There is the possibility to rent a motorcycle there or take your own. If you consider yourself a riding fanatic and wish to take your own bike, make sure you are fully prepared for the long distance journey. Make sure your bike and its parts are in top shape, and if anything needs to be replaced, do so before hand. If you’re not sure, consult motorcycle experts who specialize in motorcycle parts and expert advice from motorbikers themselves.
