Pordenone

ART, CULTURE AND NATURE IN THE HEART OF FRIULI

Pordenone is a city that surprises: elegant in its historic center, yet lively in spirit. Among frescoed palazzi, Renaissance arcades and bustling piazzas, strolling through town blends seamlessly with local bars, shops and regional flavors, while two large parks offer green, open space just steps from the city’s heart. It’s a city built to a human scale, where time moves a little slower.

But Pordenone’s true character lies in its cultural energy: in 2027, the whole city will become a stage for a transformation that brings together beauty, culture and everyday life in one authentic experience.

By bicycle

Pordenone is part of a network of cycle routes and cycling itineraries that make it possible both to reach the city by bicycle and to explore the surrounding area.

One of the official routes is the Sacile–Pordenone Loop, a route of approximately 33 km connecting the two cities via cycle paths, minor roads and low-traffic sections. To the north, the cycling network also provides access to the foothill area and Montereale Valcellina, connecting with the wider network of cycle routes across Friuli Venezia Giulia.

A bike-sharing service is available in the city, offering both conventional bicycles and e-bikes through a digital system.

During the spring and summer months, the TPL FVG Bicibus service is also available, allowing passengers to transport their own bicycles on dedicated bike trailers. The service is seasonal and operates on specific routes and itineraries, including the Pordenone–Aviano–Piancavallo connection.

Pordenone is therefore an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding plains, foothills and Friulian Dolomites by bicycle, with routes suitable for different types of cycling and cycle tourism.
