When you say Emilia-Romagna, you are actually referring to Marco Pantani\u2019s name. Il Elefantino (or sometimes Il Pirata, after the bandana on his head) lives here as if he had never left us. That is proven once again during the official press conference for the 2024 Tour de France start. The name of Pantani comes up and, spontaneously, there is applause. Not surprisingly, given that he meant so much more to Italy, cycling, and especially in combination with the Tour. It is therefore the perfect ode to the slender climber with the bald head, who will hold the very first Grande Partenza in Emilia Romagna. We were invited to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cutt.ly\/UwcEAp1V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Media Cycling Contest<\/a> in Cesenatico. We enjoyed our stay and these are, in our opinion, the 5 reasons to visit Emilia-Romagna in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Grand Depart Italy - #TDF2024\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t1Jm15BstO4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tour de France 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 29, 2024, the riders will start in Tuscany (yes, definitely) but the first stage will finish in Rimini, on the Adriatic coast. This seaside resort, where many young people have been vacationing for years, would like to build more sustainable tourism. <a href=\"https:\/\/cutt.ly\/mwcEFHdO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Tour de France<\/a> It is a great springboard to attract even more of the 750,000 annual cyclists. In Stage two, we will see many tributes to Pantani. From Cesenatico, via Montecino and Gallisterna, the riders will head towards Bologna. Here, they will cycle part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/on-the-trail-of-pantani-emilia-romagna\/\">World Cup 2020 around Imola<\/a>. These two stages alone provide enough inspiration for you as an enthusiastic cyclist to come here. And if you can also get a glimpse of the pros right away, that\u2019s a double bonus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"7797\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/P1010041-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"wouter, etxeondo, imola, emilia-romagna - cycling destination\" class=\"wp-image-7797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/P1010041-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/P1010041-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/P1010041-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/P1010041-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/P1010041-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wouter during an earlier press trip to the Imola circuit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Various landscapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The diversity of the landscape is unparalleled: Emilia-Romagna is very diverse. You not only have the vast Adriatic coast (which, in terms of views, is somewhat blocked by the many private beaches; it\u2019s a bit of a cultural thing). You also find rolling hills, vineyards, and beautiful medieval towns and villages. From the coast, you can already see the Apennine mountain range. Whether you prefer a coffee tour or want to go for a serious climbing holiday, Emilia-Romagna has it. And that\u2019s not even mentioning the possibility of ticking off the city-state of San Marino. San Marino is <a href=\"https:\/\/wereldreizigers.nl\/wereldwijs\/kleinste-landen-ter-wereld-landoppervlak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of the smallest countries in the world<\/a>. A nice list to tick off. Maybe not the most beautiful place, but it\u2019s still nice to be able to say you\u2019ve been there. A visit to Cesenatico is a must as well. It\u2019s a town with a striking promenade, but also a beautiful harbor, which according to legend was designed by Leonardo himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"13035\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/DF6444E6-1E47-4DFE-AF7C-DB8FDE5490FF-576x1024.webp\" alt=\"The sea is never far away\" class=\"wp-image-13035\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The sea is never far away<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"13037\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/C9C5BE00-3413-42BA-BD05-57E647C7D5A1-576x1024.webp\" alt=\"beautiful streets in Santarcangelo\" class=\"wp-image-13037\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">beautiful streets in Santarcangelo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"13036\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/C2A29B37-F3A9-4168-B729-E06E96915C46-576x1024.webp\" alt=\"Cesenatico, the heart of Emilia-Romagna\" class=\"wp-image-13036\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cesenatico, the heart of Emilia-Romagna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bike-friendly Hotels:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emilia Romagna is known for its cycling culture and has many <a href=\"https:\/\/cutt.ly\/xwxLTGXl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">bicycle-friendly hotels<\/a> where you can stay.

I say bike-friendly, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the same thing as the billiard mat we\u2019re used to in the Netherlands. Bike-friendly means that cycling is alive here. Pantani is alive, but that\u2019s already clear by now. Along the water there\u2019s a huge network of bike paths, and in the interior you\u2019ll also find dedicated bike lanes. Those stop abruptly, but that way you can often avoid the madness of Italian traffic. In total there are 1285 kilometers of bike paths in the region. If you head inland, the traffic disappears like a mirage. Additional tip: Are you going to Ferrara? Then you might find the most bicycles in Italy there. The city is the \u2018cycling capital of Italy\u2019 and also scores high in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"13044\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3974_jpg-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"The beautiful roads in Emilia-Romagna\" class=\"wp-image-13044\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The beautiful roads in Emilia-Romagna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emilia Romagna, with its combination of natural beauty, bike-friendly accommodations, and events, is a paradise for cyclists.
