The experience

How do you get from Pisa to the Tyrrhenian Sea without a car? This self-guided bike tour follows the Trammino path, a flat, traffic-free trail built on a historic tramway line that runs straight through the countryside for about 13 km. You get a GPS-guided app, a bike with a lock and repair kit, and a phone holder to follow the route. The path cuts through the pine forests of San Rossore Natural Park, so the ride stays shaded and quiet. There's no traffic to navigate, and you stop whenever you want.

The route passes the Basilica of San Piero a Grado, a Romanesque church where St. Peter is traditionally believed to have first landed in Italy. From there, the path opens toward Marina di Pisa, a seaside town at the mouth of the Arno River. You'll see the fishing nets called retoni, Art Nouveau villas, and a pebble beach where you can swim or grab an ice cream before heading to Il Pineto Adventure Park. The park sits just outside town and offers tree-top courses with suspended bridges and zip lines designed for different ages and skill levels. Your entry ticket is included. After the adventure park, you can relax by the sea and watch the Arno meet the water before cycling back to Pisa.

The whole experience takes about five hours, but that's flexible. You set the rhythm. You choose whether to spend time at the basilica, linger on the beach, or tackle the tree-top courses. The bike comes with a pump and repair kit, so minor issues don't stop you. Choose the e-bike if you want less effort on the return ride, or the touring bike if you prefer a lighter, more traditional feel.
