Bicycle Adventures in Sicily & Beyond
Bike hire in Palermo
It is impossible to summarize briefly the millennial history of Palermo. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, Aragonese, Spaniards, Savoy, Austrians, Bourbons and finally the unification of Italy. Each of these cultures has left its mark on culture, palaces, gastronomy and popular traditions. The faces of the Sicilians tell a story of dominations but also of cooperation between different peoples. Cycling through the alleys of Palermo means crossing millennia of history exploring the scents, flavors, the most beautiful colors in Sicily. We have selected our rental bikes after years of experience in the field and after exploring the most hidden corners of the city by bicycle and have elaborated the most fascinating itineraries for both mountain bikes and city bikes.
Some areas of the historic center of Palermo can only be visited on foot or by bike, so renting a bike with delivery throughout the city or at the Falcone-Borsellino airport and starting a city tour is the best solution. By bike you save money, you do it first and you have more fun. Traffic stress and unnecessary waiting in the queue are avoided.
Sometimes you can stop and enjoy the excellent street food in Palermo and then resume the exploration of the city. Renting a bike at a professional rental is easy, safe and fast.
