Rent a bike in Milan: rates, routes and tips
Discover Milan by bike and experience Italy's capital of fashion and design the smart way — on two wheels. Refreshingly flat and increasingly bike-friendly, Milan is easy and enjoyable to explore by bicycle, from the Gothic Duomo to the canals of the Navigli and the green parks that dot the city. Renting a bike in Milan lets you cover far more ground than on foot and skip the crowded metro.
Cruise from the Duomo and the Galleria to the elegant Brera district, then out to the Navigli, Milan's atmospheric canal quarter lined with bars and workshops. Follow the towpaths of the Naviglio Grande or the Naviglio Pavese out of the city into the countryside, or ride the Martesana canal path north-east towards Monza. Green escapes include Parco Sempione behind the Castello Sforzesco and the vast Parco Nord — all flat and easy on any bike.

A few tips before you set off: Milan traffic is busy, so use the growing network of bike lanes and the canal paths, ride carefully in the centre, carry water in summer and always wear a helmet. Then simply glide from the Duomo to the Navigli and enjoy Milan at cycling pace.
