Go on an E-bike tour that takes you through the countryside of the territory of Romagna in order to discover the wonders of taste, nature of these lands and meet the locals. Our expert guides will lead you through historical highlights such as the main square of Forlì, home of the 10th century cathedral and of the local market, the fortresses and castles of the "City of Sun", the thermal village of Castrocaro Terme, among others.
