Pisa: Self-Guided Bike Tour to the Sea & Adventure Park
Description
Leave the city behind and discover the Tuscan coast on this self-guided bike tour from Pisa to the sea. Follow our easy GPS-guided route along the scenic Trammino cycle path, a flat, traffic-free trail built on a former railway line. Cycle through the pine forests of the San Rossore Natural Park, breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air, and stop to visit the beautiful Basilica of San Piero a Grado, a Romanesque church built where St. Peter is traditionally believed to have first arrived in Italy. Your adventure continues at Il Pineto Adventure Park near Marina di Pisa, where suspended bridges, zip lines, and tree-top courses provide fun for both adults and children. Before cycling back to Pisa, take some time to relax by the Tyrrhenian Sea, enjoy the beach or a waterfront café, and admire the mouth of the Arno River. Ride at your own pace and experience the perfect combination of nature, history, and adventure!

Tuttomondo (1989) is one of the last public murals executed by Keith Haring before his death and one of the few outdoor public works created by the artist for permanent display.
The brandnew Trammino bike path follows the historical pisan tramway track, runs across the countryside for about 13 km to get to the seaside town Marina di Pisa.
San Piero a Grado, a clear Pisan Romanesque style structure, was founded in the place where Saint Peter is said to have landed during his journey to Rome.
This seaside town is located about 13 km away from Pisa next to the mouth of the Arno river. Here you can find the pretty tourist harbour, the traditional fishing nets called "retoni", beautiful Art Nouveau villas and a nice pebble beach where you can take a dip and eat a tasty ice cream.
You’ll enjoy the views of the mouth of the Arno River and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Stop at Il Pineto Adventure Park, where you can take part in tree-top adventure courses designed for different ages and skill levels.

Originally planned to do the Pisa to Lucca ride but when I found out it was a lot on main roads, we opted to switch to the trail to the sea. Started out by riding over to see the tower and then on to the trail. Best choice ever! It was peaceful and so enjoyable, ending up at the seaside. Rode through farms and countryside and enjoyed the views. Would do it again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the ride to the sea and that it turned out to be the perfect choice for your day. The route combines some of Pisa’s highlights with peaceful countryside, farmland, and beautiful coastal scenery, so we’re glad you were able to experience all of it at a relaxed pace. Thank you for choosing Smile&Ride, and we’d love to welcome you back for another cycling adventure in Tuscany soon! 🚲🌿🌊☀️😊✨
We arrived at Pisa train station and simply turned right to find the Smile & Ride bike hire shop. It was a very warm welcome and to help us choose our bike, the owner asked just what we hoped to do in the day. They gave great advice and we ended up hiring two touring bikes, where we used the self guide maps provided to visit both the Leaning Tower and then took very nice (and easy) ride to the beach using dedicated cycle routes. The bikes were in excellent condition, well maintained and included a lock and puncture repair kit (which we didn’t need).

Great Service, friendly and helpful staff and good quality bikes to rent. I highly recommend it to everyone, right at Pisa train station.🤗🚴♀️🚴♂️
Grazie di cuore! Siamo felici che ti sia trovato bene con il nostro servizio e con le bici. Ti aspettiamo per un’altra pedalata! 😊🚴
We met the agent at the train station, and she was very helpful. I was a bit intimidated with the traffic in the immediate area, but walked my bike out across busy areas….then you off on amazing bike paths. We did the 13 km to the ocean and it was beautiful and safe and I would totally do it again. We had lunch at the seaside then did the ride back. Lovely day! Will totally do again and recommend to others!
Thank you so much! We’re really happy to hear you had such a lovely and safe ride to the ocean. Great that our team could help you get started, and wonderful that the bike paths made your day so enjoyable. We’d be glad to welcome you back anytime! 🚴♀️🌊✨
Great from start to finish. We booked 24 hours before as we were only in Pisa for the day, they confirmed immediately and emailed with clarification of pick up location and times. All very friendly, great explanation and good quality bikes. We had a fantastic ride down to the beach and back and returning the bikes was easy. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much! We’re really happy everything went smoothly from booking to drop‑off, and that you enjoyed the ride to the beach such a beautiful route. Great to hear the bikes and our team made your day in Pisa even better. Highly recommended guests too! 🚴♀️🌞
This is a DIY tour. Basically you rent bikes near the train station and away you go. It is about a mile to get out of downtown Pisa, but once you navigate that, there is a well designed bike path to ride to the coast. The e-bikes were great and the nice lady at the bike shop was super helpful. And BTW, the coast is stunningly beautiful. For bike riding, swimming, eating, drinking, etc. It takes about an hour to ride to the coast, so this tour is ideal for 3-4 hours of your time.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It’s great to hear our team made your experience smooth and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back for another ride soon!
So pleased we spent our second day in Pisa cycling to the coast with Smile & Ride e-bikes. Booked bikes in advance of arrival in Pisa so they were all set up and ready to collect at our appointed time slot. Great bikes and great app downloaded on my iPhone which tracked our trip to the sea. Had a great snack lunch on the beach and a lovely return trip. Fab weather made the whole day just perfect. Easy flat track suitable for all so if you like cycling it’s a perfect way to visit another part of Pisa.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ride to the coast and the ease of our e‑bikes. We hope to see you again for another adventure!
No nonsense approach. We got our bikes very quickly and without fuzz. The company dog takes an immediate liking :-) Lent us a powerbank for the trip.
Thank you for your kind review, and apologies for not replying sooner. We’re delighted to hear that the rental process was quick and straightforward and that the power bank came in handy during your trip. We’re also happy that our dog made a good first impression! 😊 Thank you for choosing Smile&Ride, and we hope to see you again for another ride in the future. 🚲
I loved the experience. The bike was very well equipped, with all the security. Besides being super co fortable, I got to know the city and the beach by bike. I recommend it to travel more easily in summer Pisa
Muchas gracias por tu excelente reseña! 🌟 Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la experiencia en bici y que pudiste conocer tanto la ciudad como la playa de una manera cómoda y segura. Será un placer recibirte de nuevo en otra de nuestras rutas en el futuro. 🚴♀️☀️
Fantastic bike trip! We rented e-bikes and cycled from downtown Pisa through beautiful landscape to Marina di Pisa. The equipment worked perfectly. The e-bikes were good, and helmets and mobile holder were included. The app for the route was easy to follow. The staff were awesome and facilitated a great trip. Coming back, guaranteed! Recommended.
