The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet use recommended
Even on flat city streets, wear a helmet — short cobbled sections can be slippery and sudden stops are common.
Watch for trams and traffic
Stay alert crossing tram tracks and at busy intersections; follow your guide’s signals when navigating central streets.
Bring a refillable bottle
Water fountains are limited along some routes; carry a bottle you can top up at cafés during breaks.
Keep a small lock
If you plan a longer stop at a café, use a compact U-lock or cable to secure the bike to a post.
