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.

The best rides when you rent a bike in Milan

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.

Which bike should you rent in Milan?

  • City bikes — perfect for the flat streets, parks and canals.
  • Electric bikes — ideal for covering the city quickly or longer canal rides.
  • Road bikes — for day trips into the countryside.
  • Mountain bikes — for the parks and trails on the outskirts.

On Lokki you can compare local bike rental shops in Milan in a few clicks — models, sizes, prices and real customer reviews — and book online in advance so your bike is ready when you arrive. Rates start from around €14 a day, with better prices for weekends and longer rentals.
