A week on a bike in the heart of Veneto, among the most beautiful places in the provinces of Padua, Treviso, and Venice, pedaling on cycle paths that lead to some of the most famous Venetian Villas, walled cities, and the hills of Prosecco. Welcome to the beautiful walled city of Castelfranco Veneto, located between the provinces of Treviso and Padua. You are in the heart of Veneto, a region rich in history and art, and this town immersed in the Po Valley is full of history. Looking north, you feel like you can touch the mountains, while nearby a network of cycle paths takes you to visit the main walled cities and Venetian and Palladian villas for which this area is famous. And Castelfranco opens the doors to the famous Prosecco hills, with a... sparkling stop in Valdobbiadene and surroundings!

After breakfast, we gather to arrange the bikes and final details, and the journey begins. We will leisurely reach Cittadella, with its beautiful surrounding walls, famous for having the highest walkway in Europe. It is possible to visit them by walking at 15 meters above ground. After exploring the town, we continue pedaling towards the Brenta River Park, a protected natural area where cycling will be a pleasure. The river, still resembling a stream, creates numerous bends and islets, and its slow flow will accompany us to Piazzola sul Brenta, a small town in the province of Padua famous for the luxurious Palladian villa dominating its center and square: Villa Contarini. After a break for a guided tour of the villa, we find the Treviso-Ostiglia cycle path a short walk away, leading us towards Camposampiero, where Sant'Antonio da Padova lived and preached. In Camposampiero, we pick up the cycle path heading north, bringing us back to Castelfranco to conclude the first day.
