Arrival & Departure Suggestions
where to arrive
We recommend arriving at Milan Malpensa (MXP) for international flights or Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) for connecting flights. Many trains run from either airport to the Pesaro station.
Importante: We suggest arriving in Italy at least a day before the trip starts to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the start due to flight-related delays.
where to depart
Our trip team and vehicles will return to Lucca via Bologna, with drop-offs available at any eastern coastal train station or in Bologna. From there, trains connect to Milan Malpensa (MXP) or wherever you’re headed next.

Notes from Lucca Cycling Club Founder & Trip Designer, Alison Testroete
I discovered Le Marche’s immense appeal through bespoke trips that brought us through the region. Locals far outnumber visitors, so traveling here feels less like being seen as a credit-card-carrying tourist and more like becoming a curious part of everyday life.
Le Marche has the allure of its renowned rivals, yet with a fascination that’s still largely undiscovered. Together, these elements almost guarantee exceptional hospitality and a presence of mind you won’t find in trendier destinations.
The roads are splendid, plus the hotels and restaurants rise to the occasion. Come ride with us, and you might discover something new about yourself, too.
