A journey designed for those who want to experience Bologna at different rhythms and from complementary perspectives.
Your trip begins in the heart of the city. With a city bike available for the entire day, let yourself be guided by the easy pace of the historic center: the porticoes, the lively squares, the traditional shops, the painted shutters of the Pratello district, the Manifattura delle Arti, the MAMbo museum, and the two towers peeking out from almost every corner. Cycling in Bologna means getting close to the city, noticing details you’d miss on foot, and uncovering hidden spots with total freedom.
The second day brings a different vibe: you hop on a Vespa and head outside the city, where the famous Bolognese hills begin. Gentle curves, open views, and that perfect blend of nature and history that makes this area so unique. San Michele in Bosco, San Luca towering above the city, and the quiet roads leading toward Sabbiuno and Palazzo de’ Rossi: it’s the most evocative way to breathe in Bologna’s green soul. A day made of unforgettable views and complete freedom of movement.
The journey becomes a path built on harmonious contrasts: the calm of cycling that lets you grasp the city’s character up close, and the freedom of the Vespa that opens up wider horizons, with views over the plain, soft curves, panoramic roads, and iconic landmarks.
This experience brings together two complementary ways of moving: one urban, light, and intuitive; the other more dynamic, perfect for expanding your perspective. The result is an essential, practical, and complete stay—not designed to simply “visit,” but to understand how Bologna is truly lived, both inside and out.
GOOD TO KNOW:
To ride our Vespas, you must have a valid Category B driving license and a credit card (Visa or Mastercard only – no prepaid cards, no Amex, no virtual cards), required as a guarantee for the €500 security deposit.
Non-EU citizens must present both their driving license and an International Driving Permit, or a sworn translation of their license.
Riding experience on two-wheeled vehicles is also mandatory: rental will be refused to anyone with little experience or who has never driven a scooter.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• For safety and stability reasons, it is essential to respect the maximum load for each vehicle. Modern automatic Vespas can support up to 180 kg in total.
• The insurance included covers third-party liability only (damage caused to other vehicles, people, or property). Any damage to the Vespa is entirely the responsibility of the driver. Costs will be calculated based on the specific vehicle used and, in the case of major damage, may exceed the security deposit.
• Riding a Vespa is an exciting experience, but it requires attention, adherence to traffic rules, and confidence in handling the vehicle. We kindly advise you to ensure that you are suitable for this type of experience before confirming your reservation.
